MSM Finally Calling Criminal Democrat Fundraiser ‘Disgraced’ After Latest Arrest In Colorado

We finally know what it takes to get the tame yet much maligned label of ‘disgraced’ when it comes to criminal fugitives that are linked intricately to most of the Democratic leadership, their minions and top Presidential candidates. All you have to do is becomes a criminal felon on the lam for over 15 years, raise millions of dollars for the Democratic party with questionable donors and unknown sources of income, have questionable sources of income yourself, stow yourself away in Hong Kong when the heat gets a little too hot, run a ponzy scheme defrauding innocent investors of their life savings, get yourself kidnapped by Chinese gangs, takes some family photos with Hillary Clinton, get caught, post $2million dollars in bail, have someone pull a favor to get the bail reduced by half, fail to appear at the reduction hearing, flee from California authorities a second time and get arrested in Colorodo as a repeat fugitive from justice.
Easy, isn’t it? Perhaps the only thing more amazing on how long it took to begin using the tame “d” word is that it has become the defacto standard; a trendy compromise on calling him “corrupt”.
Now that he has been arrested a second time for fleeing I guess the cat is out of the bag, he really is what everyone said he was.
SAN FRANCISCO – Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was arrested in Colorado late Thursday after he failed to show up for a court appearance related to a felony theft conviction.
FBI agents took Hsu into custody at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., said FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler.
Hsu had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to turn over his passport and ask a judge to cut in half the $2 million bail he posted last week when he turned himself in after spending 15 years on the lam from a felony theft conviction.
Instead, Hsu failed to show up at the bail reduction hearing and a judge issued a new arrest warrant for him.
California Attorney General spokesman Gareth Lacy said Hsu’s lawyers told prosecutors Hsu arrived by charter jet at the Oakland airport about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday local time and then wasn’t heard from again.
When it became apparent that Hsu had fled the state, California authorities sought the assistance of the FBI, whose agents arrested him Thursday night on charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, Schadler said.
Once he is returned to state custody, the federal charges will be dismissed, Schadler said.
Suddenly Democrats are falling all over themselves to reluctantly give away some of the illicit money. Don’t give it to the victims of his original fraud scheme though, give it to charity because that has a better ring to it.
I’m taking bets, does Norman Hsu’s name come up in any Democrat debates? How long until this scandal goes away?
The Democrats can sleep better now. Hsu said he is finished raising money for them, for now. On a more cheery note Presidential candidate Chris Dodd has vowed not to take money from fugitives from justice!
The growing flap over Hsu’s contributions prompted Democratic presidential candidate Chris Dodd to release a statement Thursday vowing “to refuse to accept or possess campaign contributions raised, solicited, or delivered by fugitives from justice.”
I don’t think there is much more to say after that quote.
Hillary Clinton, Norman Hsu, Chris Dodd

Don’t forget Dodd comes from the box of tacks with no tips on them. For his safety so he can’t hurt himself.
It’s good he isn’t taking ANYMORE money from felons and fugitives from justice.
I think the obvious question here is:
How much money has he taken from felons and fugitives from justice?
I reported from Soldier Field when the Democrats were holding their debate and Dodd was the least flocked to candidate in the spin room, even when others were not there as Dodd arrived first. Most of the big cameras were waiting at the door for the other candidates while Dodd gave an interview in Spanish to a Mexican channel (at least I think it was Spanish).
