the crimes commited by Mitt Romney's national finance committee co-chairman?

In recent days, NBC, CNN, and Fox News have all aired reports or discussed the case of Norman Hsu, who The Wall Street Journal suggested may have funneled illegal campaign contributions to Sen. Hillary Clinton. However, when Mitt Romney's national finance committee co-chairman Alan Fabian was charged with mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice, the three networks

The mystery of Norman Hsu, the wealthy Clinton donor who turned out to be a fugitive from justice, took a bizarre twist yesterday when Mr. Hsu, who skipped out after pleading no contest in a California fraud case 15 years ago, disappeared yet again.

Mr. Hsu, who turned himself in to the authorities last week and posted $2 million in cash as his bail, was to have appeared in Superior Court in California at 9 a.m. yesterday to hand in his passport and ask that his bail be reduced.

But with the judge, a deputy state attorney general, the news media and Mr. Hsu’s lawyer all waiting in a courtroom in Redwood City, Calif., Mr. Hsu was nowhere to be found.

“We do not know where he is,” said James Brosnahan, Mr. Hsu’s lawyer. “We hope he will be in court today.”

According to the state attorney general’s office, based on information from Mr. Hsu’s lawyer, Mr. Hsu arrived at the Oakland airport at 5:30 a.m. on a charter jet. From that point on, no one had any information on his whereabouts — or any they would reveal. Adding to the intrigue is that he may be on the run with his passport: Mr. Brosnahan said that he had sent an assistant to Mr. Hsu’s Manhattan condominium this week to retrieve it, but a 90-minute search proved fruitless.

“Next, we have to find Mr. Hsu,” Mr. Brosnahan told reporters outside the courtroom yesterday.

Should Mr. Hsu turn up, he will be in deeper legal trouble than before. Judge Robert D. Foiles of San Mateo County Superior Court ordered Mr. Hsu’s bail revoked, issued a new warrant for his arrest and said that if Mr. Hsu was arrested again, he would go directly to jail.

His disappearance added to an already embarrassing episode for Democrats, and especially the presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, which had enlisted Mr. Hsu as a “Hillraiser” — a major bundler of donations from others. But last week came the revelation that Mr. Hsu was a fugitive, having skipped out on a California sentencing hearing related to a business fraud case and moved back to Hong Kong.

Yesterday, the Clinton campaign called for Mr. Hsu to turn himself in.

“We believe that Mr. Hsu, like any individual who has obligations before the court, should be meeting them, and he should do so now,” the Clinton campaign said in a statement.

Even those who had initially defended Mr. Hsu when his legal problems became public were baffled. Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator who is president of the New School in New York City, where Mr. Hsu was a trustee, could not explain Mr. Hsu’s behavior.

“I don’t know what is going on in his mind,” Mr. Kerrey said. “I thought that I knew him, but obviously I didn’t.”

Because the DOJ and FBI aren't investigating whether Romney's incident had any connnection to Chinese foreign
interests. Hsu could very well be.

Yes, both Romney and Hill need to and can look into their big
contributors. They need to make sure they don't have bad company, both in finances and otherwise. That's their responsibility.

But you must realize the 1996 campaign finance scandal was riddled with a downward gaze. The Clintons were surrounded by spies (whom were connected to the PRC), and many fled the country to avoid giving testimony. The stories circulating Hsu stink of the PRC. Romney's incident is pale in comparison to Hill's problem. Now whether or not they can actually pin something on the Clintons...geez, I'm not sure that will happen, because the Clintons are perfect at the art of indirect corruption.

The media is just a tool for money and the whim of those running it. Left...right...who cares!?

The "mainstream" media is Liberal in case you're a conservative, and Conservative in the adventure that your a liberal. i've got heard knuckleheads on the two aspects use that argument. The media comments memories that they think of human beings would be interested in listening to. and that they record it in a manner that think of gets your activity. the only schedule they are interested in grabbing the main visitors. person bias enters into it, yet you need to be slightly screwed up in case you think of they have some form of political schedule. occasion: Iraq. enormous tale and a large style of flag waving while it began. Now their reporting on each and every of the mess ups and problems. in basic terms doing their interest and giving the individuals what they pick.

A former big-fish fund-raiser who was working on former Gov. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign was indicted for a scheme to defraud companies out of $32 million that he allegedly spent on real estate, a yacht and private jet trips for himself and his pets.

were does this go against campaign finance illegalities?

because everyone is against the top dog (I would use the proper word for a female dog but would get a violation)
Obviously this election has been decided long ago. They went thru and asked the electoral college who what going to win and that person is already picking their cabinet.

You are right. The MSM never reports on the scandals of the GOP.

We should protest. I will meet you on Broad and Market in Newark, NJ at around three in the morning.

I may be a little late. Just WAIT for me.......

I know, all the whining about the "liberal media" is sort of amusing.
