INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY - The Los Angeles Times on Friday uncovered an
amazingly generous spirit of giving from Fujianese immigrant dishwashers
and trinket sellers, hundreds of whom "spontaneously" coughed up $1,000
or $2,000 apiece for Clinton's presidential campaign. The $380,000 from
their giving dwarfed the $24,000 that John Kerry raised there for his
run for the White House in 2004.
Worse yet, when the Times checked the donors, more than a third couldn't
be found and most weren't registered to vote. Some didn't even have
green cards. Immigrant associations were cited as the nexus of the
giving, but in a high-cost city where local per capita income is
$21,000, it doesn't add up. In fact, it raises the question that someone
is buying influence.
This Times story follows an earlier bombshell about Norman Hsu, one of
Clinton's most valued fundraisers, who brought in $850,000 before he was
exposed as a swindler on the lam. . .
Clinton's campaign is so full of questionable transactions that even the
Nation, a left-wing magazine, has dug up a mysterious influence peddler
named Alan Quasha who hires Clinton operatives and has links to top
Clinton's top fundraisers.
Meanwhile, the online magazine Salon is wondering why the Clintons are
not disclosing the identities of donors to the William J. Clinton
Foundation as it increases its cash intake just as Hillary becomes the
presidential front-runner. Bill Clinton refuses to release their names
because he says they gave anonymously. Could they too be foreign and
looking to buy influence?
