Clinton Donation Deja Vu
Author: Michael Kraft
A nice article discussing the shortcomings and many faults of all candidates on both sides finds a unique deja vu in the recent “donation scandal” involving criminals cash and huge donations to Clintons.
Hillary Clinton denies any knowledge of a criminal history connected to the donations, and person giving it. Readers can decide for themselves if they really believe this to be true. The fact is, we’ve seen this before from the same people int he same places.
You can read about the other candidate’s fumbles here, or get the drift of the most “recent” cash for favors Clinton donation sandal below:
“Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., found she didn’t need friends like Norman Hsu, after she had to return $850,000 he raised from 260 donors amid questions about his “bundling” efforts.
Hsu, 56, had raised something like a million dollars for Democratic candidates on the local, state and federal level over the last four years. He was a “HillRaiser,” committed to raising more than $100,000 from various sources for the Clinton campaign. But he had been also been hiding in plain sight for 15 years after failing to show up for sentencing in 1992 in a grand larceny plea deal.
While returning the questionable contributions, Clinton invited the donors to re-send the money from their own bank accounts. Her campaign promises to vet donors better, although it’s not clear how.
The last thing Hillary needed was to remind voters of the skunk-smell of sleaze that wafted over the last Clinton White House.
Remember Johnny Chung? He was a fund-raiser in a scandal involving illegal contributions from “straw donors” to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign. He once reportedly brought $50,000 to the White House.
Chung told the Los Angeles Times in a 1997 interview,
“I see the White House is like a subway: You have to put in coins to open the gates.”
If you dont know about Johnny Chung and his frequent visits and cash donations to the Clinton’s, you can get the highlight reel here:
1. “Chung told federal investigators that $35,000 of the money he donated came from China’s military intelligence.”
2. “Chung later testified under oath to the U.S. House Committee in May 1999 that he was introduced to Chinese Gen. Ji Shengde, then head of Chinese military intelligence, by Liu Chaoying. Chung said that Ji told him: “We like your president very much. We would like to see him reelect [sic]. I will give you 300,000 U.S. dollars.”
3. “Chung was eventually convicted of bank fraud, tax evasion, and two misdemeanor counts of conspiring to violate election law.[6] On December 14, 1998, Johnny Chung was sentenced to probation and 3,000 hours.”
4. “Chung made forty-nine separate visits to the White House between February 1994 and February 1996, though the Clinton administration falsely reported only a small number of those visits.”
Let common sense be your guide, and decide if this most recent event involving $850,000 from a felon was really “news to” the Clinton campaign. It appears that old habits are hard to break.

The “skunk smell” doesn’t matter. Only those who can’t smell or can’t remember what skunk smells like and those who like skunk odor would ever vote for Hillary anyway. It remains to be seen if enough people have lost their sense of smell (or memory) to elect her.
The mainstream media has covered up the biggest political scandal since watergate- this one called Galagate- in connection with Bill Clinton’s request that I produce and pay for the biggest fundraiser of Hillary’s campaogn. I have filed a new FEC complaint which alleges complicity between the FEC and Hillary in allowing her to repeat on January 30, 2006 the felony violation of the law that her finance director was indicted and put in trial for in May 2005. PLEASE take a look at the evdience- not my colorful career from 25 years ago- http://www.hillcap.org
