Dead on. Also, I want to know everything about his finances. I know the connection and the fraud that he was originaaly convicted of, but what about now? Where is all this money coming from? It’s not Hsu so who is he fronting for? Is it payback or a downpayment?
And while we are at it, what did Vinod Gupta get for his money to the Clintons?
I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist when it comes to these bottom feeders, but if the Federal government is willing to spend untold millions to investigate why Armitage told reporters about Joe Wilson’s wife, why can’t they ever get to the bottom of why a sitting Senator is taking money from illegal Chinese immigrants?

ctmom, NY and NJ do indeed have clueless voters. However, if I am reading your name right, I must say that during my years in CT., that state put all others to shame when it came to corruption. And while most of NJ political follies were Dems (Mcgreavy, Toricelli et al) CT’s were mainly Reps (Bridgeport, Waterbury, Governor etc)
He or She who lives in glass houses and all that.
BTW, NYC is indeed a sanctuary city for illegals, but leave it up to New Haven to one up and become a paradise city for illegals.

If this is only tied to the Chinese check the little pinky fingers of many of the males present, and if they are shorter than normal there is another connection with the orientals. The Japanese “Yakazu”.

How many M13 members need a bro out of the can? Watch and read the tats when in Hispanic communities.

In this case the donors self selected themselves by their abnormal donations. The issue that they were Asians was not germane to their detection , the money was and the pattern of donations.

I will also note that there are other areas being explored as a type this that have similar donation pattern issues and yes some of them are Asian communities in other areas of the country.

It really needs to be explained that the pattern analysis drove the selections NOT the racial makeup of the donors.

I can state without equivocation that it is not racially motivated. They were doing exactly the same thing I was.

Rather than troll through the online version of the FEC data base which only allows specific types of queries to the data, we downloaded the entire FEC data base and imported it into spreadsheet and free standing data bases to allow generation of statistics and pattern analysis.

None of this can be done with the online access capability.

Simply what was done is compare donation patterns from prior year averages by zip code or metropolitan statistical areas or however you want to break it down and you are looking for variations from average behavior of the past.

Those searches of the data were totally ethnic neutral. It is not until after you detect an abnormal variation that you then even take a look at who was doing the donations.

That is why for example it is noted in the La Times article that the Chinatown money was picked up as a variation in which in a small area Hillary raked in 380,000 versus Kerry over the entire campaign cycle gathering only 24,000.

Also it is important to note that over 90% of this money was raised at a single fundraiser event. Donations outside the event have been near historic norms and patterns even for the Chinatown area. If you look at the donations outside the event itself not surprisingly you find a high incidence of verifiable person/address existence and job descriptions that would reasonably support the level of donation associated with donation provided. Also the vast majority of those other donations were well below the maximum amounts.

So good to see MM on Fox again. Who needs BO?

are you saying the dinosaur media is covering up a story for Hilldabeast?

oh my you could knock me over with a picture of a feather

Bill’s problem was sex. Hilary’s is money.

Not quite. Sex and money may be symptoms, but the real addiction is power. And our country has come to a place where they are perfectly positioned to exploit the difference between people.

But we have only ourselves to blame.

Was that the same couple who said they donated through the husband’s boss, that he told them they would be reimbursed, and they were?

No that is from the OTHER scandel the Chinatown donations. I know hard to keep Hillary’s affairs straight more less Bill’s

She’s a rarity these days.

This country not only seems to breed left wing suicide voters, but also has become impotent when it comes to breeding leaders. If Hilary Clinton manages to lie, cheat and murder her way into the presidency, that is the best and brightest this great country has to offer?

We all know, and so do her close supporters that she and her so-called husband are whores. Yet, this is who is the front runner. It’s sickening, and a very negative indicator of what our Republic is producing to vie for the office of Commander and Chief.

More on Sherlene Dean, from the New York Times 10/17.

Bank records for Components, for example, show that it once paid a company controlled by a Salt Lake City couple, James and Sherlene Dean, who contributed $9,200 to Mrs. Clinton in June; the campaign refunded the money last month.
The Deans declined to comment
