Disgraced Clinton donor sentenced to three years

[sniffa]

Disgraced political donor Norman Hsu was sentenced yesterday to three years in prison after a judge rejected his bid to throw out a 16-year-old fraud conviction.

Hsu's lawyers had asked Judge Stephen Hall to dismiss his 1992 no contest plea, arguing that Hsu's right to a speedy trial was violated because authorities weren't actively pursuing him during his years as a fugitive. They could easily have arrested Hsu at one of the fund-raisers he hosted in California for prominent local politicians, his lawyers argued.

Hsu also faces federal fraud charges in New York.

His troubles began dogging Senator Hillary Clinton and other big-name Democrats last summer, when news reports revealed he was a fugitive who fled the state after a 1992 fraud conviction. He turned himself in on Aug. 31, then fled again.

1. But I see they did not do anything to the gangster in Ill.

the one who gave Obama 300,000 cut on his house. And who funded a lot of HIS CAMPAIGNS.

You know something. I wonder who was the person who went into the background of Obama's opposition in the senate race. I wonder who found out about Ryan's so called sex life and made it public. That would be a real story if someone investigated it.
