1. NY Times reports and others have yet to find a source for Hsu’s money. His business are shams, phony addresses, mail pick-up shared offices. Where did he get the $2 million to make bail even?

2. Finding out about Hsu was NOT difficult. If Clinton didn’t know about him, it was because she wanted to take the money and this character was a top fundraiser. News reports say that commonly used data bases turned up that he was kidnapped and filed for bankruptcy in San Mateo Cty and from there its a simple criminal records check.

3. The New School angle – Bob Kerrey made Hsu a trustee and named a scholarship fund after him without knowing anything about the man. Clearly, its distasteful that people at the level of Clinton and Kerrey will smile and pander for someone just for the money. It looks terrible.

4. Bernard Schwartz (Loral – see 1996 Clinton scandals) is also a trustee at the New School. Coincidence or is he the one who brought Hsu in initially?

The Cal Atty Genl office will go easy on Hsu in order to accommodate the DNC. It’s interesting that the bail agreement between Brown’s office and Hsu was rejected by the judge who then doubled the amount.

Bail should have been denied. Hsu is an obvious flight risk.

1. Take him back to California in shackles.
2. Sit him down and tell him that:
- He’s getting the full three years he owes on his no contest plea to theft;
- He’s getting charged with bail jumpng and getting a consecutive sentence if convicted;
- He’s getting federally prosecuted for flight across state lines for the purpose of avoiding prosecution;
- We’re taking your passport(s)
3. Tell him that most (but not all) of the above will go away if and only if he tells all about his clearly obvious money laundering schemes.

ANYTHING short of this is a half measure designed to avoid getting to the bottom of a huge scandal in American politics.
