Flees bail hearing??? uhhh..no. Flees finding himself in a park in Washington with a "self inflicted" gun wound.

Duh.

The real comedy is going to be how fast Hillary! is going to have him found.

7 Anybody notice that this mook just gave up 2 mill in bail without a second's hesitation? Why, it's almost as if it's not his own dough!

Posted by: mojo at September 05, 2007 01:45 PM (g1cNf)

8 He basically paid the bail in cash.  What did this guy do for money?

The Hsus story won't make the news. The story about the dead Republican from Ohio will be the lead story. I am betting that the 'initial reports indicate death was due to auto-erotic asphyxiation,' to quote tonight's lead stories. Until this fundraiser thing dies down, all of the news coverage will be wall-to-wall republican pervert stories.

You know it's true.

And I made up the bit about auto-erotic asphyxiation. Just like the MSM will tonight.

How did he catch a flight? Don't they confiscate the passport of a person who gets bail?

How stupid is it to free a person on bail, allow him to retain his passport, and hope that he doesn't vamoose?

13 I wonder if the DA considered asking for bail greater than $2 million or if he genuinely expected that such a large amount would be able to keep Hsu in the country.

I also wonder if Hsu is fleeing from more than his prior conviction...

19 Per Fox News, his attorney said he DID NOT surrender his passport. 

Posted by: HerrMorgenholz at September 05, 2007 01:56 PM (5aa4z)

20 Would surrendering the passport really have kept him here?  Wouldn't someone with that kind of questionable-source dough to waste on Hillary be able to afford a fake?

21

This cat was asked for his passport by the court. He pleaded he could not find it, and will bring it for the next hearing. Apparently he found it under the couch right after he got bail and went home.

The judge who accepted this excuse should be asked to resign.

Posted by: Tushar D at September 05, 2007 02:11 PM (IlgNp)

22 Not to get conspiracy on y'all (per Andrew Sullivan, I'm just asking questions....), but perhaps he's not running from the Clintons (all joking aside, Vince Foster committed suicide and we should distance ourselves from our own Trutheresque thinkings) but from the people who were suppling him w/ this money.  PRC agents anyone?  I'd bet if he had a foreign source of cash, they'd hate to have him in FBI custody or on the witness stand in Federal court.

23 How did he catch a flight? Don't they confiscate the passport of a person who gets bail?

Tushar,

According to Gateway Pundit (from the NYT):

On Monday, Mr. Hsu was required to turn his passport over to the court, but he told court officials that he had not been able to find it then. Mr. Brosnahan said they were hoping Mr. Hsu would bring it to court with him today.

He couldn't find it? How convenient.

24 Ooops, sorry Tushar, should have refreshed before posting.

>>PRC agents anyone?

He ran to Hongkong to get away from PRC agents? Can I have whatever you are smoking?

Posted by: Tushar D at September 05, 2007 02:15 PM (IlgNp)

26 I'm curious about something.  Some of the Hsu donations have been given over to charity.  I'd like to know which charities and do those charities in turn contribute to the campaigns of those who have given them the "tainted" money, if so, how much have they given?  The second I heard Hillary had given the money to charity I thought, what a clever way to launder "tainited" money.

30 How did Norman Hsu, a convicted felon and and a 15 year fugitive from justice, acquire a valid US passport in the first place?

Posted by: mrp at September 05, 2007 02:24 PM (cqPm0)

31

i thought the PRC agents thing was meant to indicate that he might himself be being run by PRC agents... this would make a lot of sense.

they don't want him in court, so they order him to return to Beijing.

of course, were i mr Hsu and a Chicom spook to boot, Beijing is the last place i would disappear to at this point.

 

after all, where did he get the money?

Techie,

even if he did not flee to HongKong, he woule be more vulnerable to PRC agents anywhere else in the world. They can get him on US soil too, if they think he is important enough, but they will think twice before doing that.

Hsu is a PRC agent. Hillary! was going to the same traitorous well Bubba drank from.

Posted by: Don Carne at September 05, 2007 02:27 PM (wSNS7)

35

jdub, I concur.

He is more likely to be a PRC agent, and was asked to come back to avoid implicating them. If US starts extradition proceedings, his body will conveniently turn up somewhere in the Far East.

"Sven Svenson", that's the ticket!...

Posted by: mojo at September 05, 2007 02:32 PM (g1cNf)

38 He could well be a PRC agent, but I think my scenario makes for a better movie. 

Imagine the location shoots.  Hsu will be played by Jackie Chan, and he'll be pursued by a new partnership of Zhang Zyi and Jet Li.  Just as he's about to be caught, some inexplicable turn of luck lets him escape with a bewildered expression on his facce.

Posted by: Techie at September 05, 2007 02:33 PM (T+8Gr)

39 as much as it pains me to say this, it's because what goes around comes around, if you know what I mean.

Look, politicians would have trouble getting their work done in the climate of fear that a bunch of investigations would create.  Now, I dislike Hillary as much as you guys do, probably even more so, but this sort of poking around into politicians' finances is un-American.

42 Funny that everyone that took his money is now scrambling to "donate to charity". If they had any moral compass, they'd be giving the money to the CA Attorney General for distribution to the people that Hsu stole from. Not holding my breath.

Posted by: IllTemperedCur at September 05, 2007 02:43 PM (tVbxd)

43 Why in the world would anyone assume that taking his passport would have kept him in the country anyway?  Hello?  Private jets, private airports? 

The amazing thing is his promising to come back tomorrow with his passprt and everyone just said "Cool, see ya then!"

That would be like me getting caught driving drunk without a license and promising that I would stop down at the police station with my license first thing tomorrow morning, honest injun!

>>Hello?  Private jets, private airports? 

I am not fully aware of the laws here, but will a plane that has not filed an international flight plan be allowed to go out of US airspace without scrutiny? And if they had filed an international flight plan, don't they have to go through an immigration check?

45 RE: mrp (September 05, 2007 02:24 PM)
"How did Norman Hsu, a convicted felon and and a 15 year fugitive from justice, acquire a valid US passport in the first place?"

Considering that this is the same Federal agency that gave Mohammed Atta a VISA many months after 9/11, I hope your question is a rhetorical one. But assuming some competence on the part of the agency (just go with me here for the sake of argument), perhaps Hsu didn't fork it over in court because it was a forged document. A court would look even less kindly upon a felon with even more damning evidence of his craptacular integrity. Presumably. I imagine Hsu knew how to find someone in California who could create a fake passport or two. Don't brown people talk to each other?

Hey! Hsu is yellow. Don't smear us.

Posted by: Tushar D at September 05, 2007 02:53 PM (IlgNp)

48 The reason I mentioned "a valid passport" is that I haven't read anywhere about questions being raised (at the time of his initial court appearance) on why he was requested to turn in his passport, when he wasn't supposed to have one. Did the DA/Court have an actual record of Hsu being issued a US passport, or evidence that he had used a US passport during his 15 years on the lam? Or was the request that he surrender his passport a purely automatic request as part of his bail hearing?

Posted by: mrp at September 05, 2007 02:58 PM (cqPm0)

49 but will a plane that has not filed an international flight plan be allowed to go out of US airspace without scrutiny?

You'd think that, wouldn't you, Tushar?

Trust me, that kind of thing happens all the time.

Posted by: Jack Bauer at September 05, 2007 03:00 PM (IHbof)

50 Tushar D,

LOL.

OK. How about "Don't off-white people talk to each other?" Maybe "earth-toned"? Heck, how about "Don't illegal felons hiding from the man know a Hispanic or two who is running an underground railroad for his extended family in Mexico and who runs a 24-hr/day printing press?"

More juicy stuff about Hsu:

reporting from Phil Klein, who notes:

In campaign finance reports, Hsu's companies are listed as: Next Components Ltd., Cool Planets Ltd., Because Men's Clothes, and Dilini Management. But none of the companies have online footprints or appear in fashion industry directories that I have searched. The only official recognition of any of these companies that I have found is Next Components, in the form of a filing for a certificate of corporation with the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations — but even that doesn't hold up to closer scrutiny. The filing was from May 6, 2005, and when I called the Division of Corporations, a representative there told me that the filing needed to be renewed every two years for a fee of $9, but Next Components never responded to the renewal notice.

The filing lists 561 Seventh Ave., Suite 1301 as the address for Next Components, but I called Handro Properties, the management company that runs the building, and was told that not only have they never heard of Next Components, but "Suite 1301" doesn't even exist.

Klein finds that Hsu's listed home addresses in FEC forms don't check out, either. Something here stinks to high heaven.

Indeed.

Thanks for being a great company.Although your ugg boots cardy website is entered by users, the site has a lot of accurate and useful information on it.your net shop is kept to a minimum and favours websites connected to the ugg cardy boots Web Design Library in appearance and subject.
The popular blue ugg is renowned for its comfort. But some doctors worry that the popular black ugg could cause serious foot pain in the long run.So some podiatrists across the country are telling ugg classic cardy lovers to watch their steps. In fact,there is nothing wrong!
The crochet boots online retailer also knows bargain-hungry shoppers are scouring the Web for discounts, and its UGG Classic Crochet rivals are more than happy to provide them. So it is putting coupon codes on ugg classic crochet that customers can use to save money on its site.
