Corruption, Campaign Finance Fraud and Hillary Clinton

We have shown multiple instances in which Hillary Clinton has associated herself with corruption, illegal financing and fraud.

BACKGROUND:

The Hillary Clinton Supporter, norman Hsu has been posted about here, here and here... also here.

Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. in Daly City, Calif., as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show. Their donations closely follow contributions made by a wealthy New York businessman.(See Donation record via WSJ here)

It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund. (Source)

So far what we have is a family of limited means donating an extraordinary amount of money (considering their income) to Hillary Clinton and in smaller part to other Democrats, that lives in a house that was once listed as Mr. Hsu's home address, which makes that connection very obvious.
Norman Hsu, as shown at a couple of the links above was later discovered to be a fugitive from the law.

Hillary Clinton's association with the 527 Group, America Coming Together, financed by George Soros, which has been fined $775,000 for violating campaign finance laws.

Her association with that group is via, Harold Ickes, president of America Coming Together, who just "happened to be a former Bill Clinton Top Aide.

The group, whose president was former top Clinton aide Harold Ickes, agreed to pay the penalty without acknowledging any violations. It had registered as both a 527 organization, named after a portion of the I.R.S. tax code, and as a federal political action committee. But through its 527, it had raised and spent large amounts of money that did not fall under strict federal donation limits.

Critics of 527 groups have contended that they proliferated in the last cycle through a loophole around the ban on soft money — unregulated money — that was imposed under the McCain-Feingold campaign finance laws. Democrats used 527’s to a wide advantage in the 2004 election cycle, with contributions from the likes of billionaire George Soros. Republicans also used them, with major donors like Bob Perry of Texas.


Another Clinton supporter, Mayor Samuel Rivera, has also been arrested on corruption charges.

Lets not forget the timeline of the historic civil suit, Paul v Clinton in Los Angeles Superior Court, where Hillary will finally have to answer some hard questions, under oath.

In the following timeline, we will see apparent evidence of Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign understating over $750,000 in contributions to her 2000 Senate campaign, from one Peter Paul.

Evidently, Hillary’s campaign initially denied even knowing Peter Paul, and then later, admitted meeting him but never had a conversation regarding his contribution to her campaign.

Hillary Clinton will finally be under oath in the historic civil suit, Paul v Clinton in Los Angeles Superior Court. Voters are going to see the details of the greatest campaign finance fraud in history... Read the rest of that and see the timeline for yourself.

TODAY we see reports from LA Times about further dubious campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton:

NEW YORK -- Something remarkable happened at 44 Henry St., a grimy Chinatown tenement with peeling walls. It also happened nearby at a dimly lighted apartment building with trash bins clustered by the front door.

And again not too far away, at 88 E. Broadway beneath the Manhattan bridge, where vendors chatter in Mandarin and Fujianese as they hawk rubber sandals and bargain-basement clothes.

All three locations, along with scores of others scattered throughout some of the poorest Chinese neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, have been swept by an extraordinary impulse to shower money on one particular presidential candidate -- Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown.


Read the whole three page article for yourself.. the consistent and constant association with criminals, corruption and fraud should be a red flag to the FBI and federal election officials and I would be willing to bet that if investigations haven't already been started, they will be.

With over a year to go until the 2008 elections, there is plenty of time for the proper authorities to get to the bottom of these associations and contributions from sources that, in some cases, cannot even be found.

In one instance, Clinton campaign alleged Yi Min Liu had made a donation of $1,000 however he said he only attended a banquet but made no donation.

There is only so many times someone can claim ignorance and coincidence and Hilary Clinton and her campaign used that allotment up long ago.

People should be demanding that all of her contributions, campaign finances and donor lists be investigated and gone through with a fine toothed comb.

[Update] Suitably Flip has more incriminating evidence about Hillary Clinton's "refunds".

Remember, her crimes are all some "vast right wing conspiracy".

I also have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, contact me.
