It’s no longer a question of “Who is Hsu” but rather “Where in the world did this guy escape to?”
California businessman Norman Hsu, a former New York apparel executive and major contributor to Democratic candidates and causes, failed to appear for a bail reduction hearing Wednesday, leading to speculation that he again is a fugitive from the law, FOX News has learned.Hsu’s attorneys say they do not know his whereabouts, and that their client did not surrender his passport.
A little more from the LA Times:
Hsu’s attorney, James Brosnahan, explained that he had lost contact with Hsu and that the financier had failed to deliver his passport as promised.“Mr. Hsu is not here and we don’t know where he is,” Brosnahan said outside court. “We expected him to be here.”
Brosnahan told Foiles that a legal assistant for his law firm went to Hsu’s New York City condominium last week and spent 90 minutes searching for Hsu’s passport.
Well, that’s just peachy. His defense team has known for a week that his passport is missing and didn’t bother to tell authorities? Especially given this guy’s past history of skedaddling when the heat is on?
That leaves the investigation with basically nothing. The Paw family – who acted as a blind for Hsu’s numerous contributions – probably don’t know much even if they were in a mood to talk. Investigators may track down other donors but it is equally unlikely they could be any more helpful than the Paws.
So the story will die and Hillary is safe. Funny how this kind of thing always happens to the Clinton’s just in the nick of time.
Malkin has updates and reaction.

I have to believe that there is a paper trial for an enterprising investigative reporter who wants to get to the bottom of the donations/DNC/PAW connection. Hsu is gone – the paper trail and the illigalities if there are any are still here!

James Brosnahan is not cheap. He’s had a lot of high-profile cases, has a high profile in the California legal community, and surely he commands a very impressive fee.

So maybe the lawyers could be jailed for aiding and abetting? Wishfull thinking, Hillary is in this up to her neck.

I wonder how many investigators they have trying to find the missing Hsu? and if we will get some answers to, who saw him last and where? are they even looking? was his apt left in a hurry and items packed? video cams around his residence and airport cameras? I mean really how hard could it be? find this dog turd and lock him up. America wants to know.

when ken starr gets on the case, we will discover that hillary had him killed…just like vince foster.

So .. on the same day the Democratic frontrunner’s convicted felon fundraiser and the manuscript of an embrassing book disappear. Isn’t this what Americans ran away from in 2000 ?
Now we’re supposed to embrace the horror.
10:30 pm
I am pretty suprised that someone who dodged court before got bail—thats the sort of thing the judges I know deem worthy of an all expenses paid stay at the Grey Bar Hotel until the matter is sorted out.
