Runaround Hsu plea deal?

For purely Machiavellian reasons, I want this case to stay alive and active until at least next summer. It could be the torpedo that sinks the SS Hillary.
Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu’s effort to have his grand theft case from the early 1990s thrown out was delayed today at his attorneys’ request.
Defense attorney James Brosnahan did not say why he had sought the delay after meeting with the prosecutor and a San Mateo County Superior Court judge.
Attorneys on both sides deflected questions about whether they were negotiating a plea that would cover both Hsu’s San Mateo County case and criminal charges filed in federal court in New York in September.
“There’s more to be done. That’s all,” Brosnahan said as he left a Redwood City courtroom.
His next hearing is Jan 4, just in time for the primaries.
Unmentioned in the story, Hsu’s copious connections to the Clinton campaign and its financial shenanigans. No story is complete without them.

Well, it’ll give him more time to raise money for Hillary.
I’m sure she’ll appreciate that.

I fully support keeping this case alive. However, it is but one of the torpedos that could sink the SS Hillary. Her immigration [foul]-up the other night is another one, as is her usual unwillingness to take a strong position on a majority of issues. Yet another one is the fact that when she actually does take a position on an issue, that position is a radical, left-wing position.
Here’s hoping all four of those torpedos detonate under the keel of the SS Hillary.

I disagree- we need to keep Hillary alive long enough to guarantee that she gets the nomination. Then let the gloves come off.

We need to pin her down on more of these issues in the primary that showcase her radical LW ideology. The driver’s license thing was a good start. If we wait til the general she’ll just tack to the center and it’ll be too late.
We need to be able to torpedo her with her own words (and pics with runaround hsu).

Oh and the “I’ve got a million ideas we just can’t afford them yet”. That’s a nice one to bring up in the general.

Message for Mrs. Bill Klinton, resign today.

The real question is, can something be found to tag to Hillary that would be so audacious that the media would be outraged enough to drop its whitewashing, slanting, and news blackouts to cover for her?

I would like to see the case go on. But, I believe
the MSM sill give it little to no coverage and
will not directly connect it to Hillary. She’ll
just play the “I didn’t know” game.

Hsu will be “Milosoviced” before you know it.

Exactly…….

Nope nuke her now and nuke her quick as you can. Don’t be so smug to think you can take here down later and maybe blow the deal since they seem so bullet proof.
Nail her hard and keep up the firepower until there isn’t enough left for battle damage assessment.
What are you worried about? You afraid one of the dwarfs will run instead?

Am I the only one who thinks this might be far worse than a scam artist feeding money out to a political party? Just maybe there is a Chinese Intelligence connection here. I hope someone in the FBI is looking at this as a coujnter intelligence matter.
A plea bargain could have this guy walk, just like a number of other oriental connections to spying.

The reason there was origanally a reluctance by Republican politicians to push this is because they could well have foreign/bad money salted into their campaigns. Who is to know?

He’ll walk with a Bergerlike slap on the wrist. BUSH HASN’T HAD THE BALLS TO PROSECUTE A SINGLE DEMOCRAP THUG THROUGH HIS ENTIRE TERM IN OFFICE, AND IT’S NOT GONNA START NOW!! JUST LIKE CLINTON, THE CHICOMS ARE HIS BEST BUDDIES.
