If Hillary can't keep tabs on her own donors like Hsu, how can she watch the U.S. Government?

Question

Think about the petty millions she is raising for her campaign and she couldn't find a felon donating peanuts in comparison to the U.S. Gov budget ? How can you trust her to be on the straights with some of her old cronies from Rose Law firm that are convicted felons if she makes it to the W.H.?
Before anyone slams GW and his cronies, please cite donor name and felony convictions.

Answer 1

Hillary is not after the presidency for guiding the country to bigger and brighter futures, she's after the history context of being the first female prez of this country. If elected, Bill will be offering counsel under the sheets.

Answer 2

A ridiculous notion. Sen. Clinton, just like any other Presidential candidate, has staff that does the job of vetting donors to her campaign. Do you really think she has the time to do this herself? Someone should be fired over it, no doubt, but to say she should have known from her own research is completely unrealistic. We're talking about a conviction from the early 90's and the police weren't even looking hard for this guy until recently. He not only gave money to Clinton, but he has donated to many other Democratic politicians, who are all returning the money. But keep trying to make this story stand on those wobbly legs. Nobody thinks that only Sen. Clinton may have questionable donations in her coffers. All of us are well aware of the shifty ways all candidates manage to garner money - especially by the recent practice of bundling. It's not like she's the Lone Ranger of questionable campaign fund activity.

Answer 3

i don't want to assert that bush does the same thing, two wrongs don't make a right.

but i do think that there is some delegation that can take place. well, in the old adage of the military, you can delegate authority but not responsibility.

so really, the department of justice should keep tabs on the white house.

ideally, the doj would be separate, much like the federal reserve. but since that's not the case, congress keeps tabs on the AG. when the attorney general's office fails, you blame both the attorney general, and the president.

now, applying it to the case at hand. hillary has done something about the campaign donations. she's given them to charity, arguably the best thing she could do at that time.

ideally, she would be able to background-check everyone who sends her money, but that's just plain inefficient--not to mention many people (including myself) would never ever submit to a background check just to donate money.

so she has kept track. she delegated authority to other people who messed up. she apologized and did something about it.

Answer 4

sure took a long time for that prosecutor to lay the paper on Hsu. Just to be safe and cross check anything like your question, I found it to be a favorite topic on all the spooked conservative blogs and even a few GOPresidential wanna be's crowding around that story. Something fishy about this, and it ain't just Hillary getting money from innocent donors, now that Hsu has finally got papers served on him for monkey business say, 15 years ago? Reminds me of a blue dress hidden in a closet with stains preserved for future events, like elections and when impeachments go wrong. If the cops didn't bust the guy, how would Hillary go about doing it. Spy on him, tap his phones, turn him over to Homeland Security?

(you trolls are reaching... bad trolls :)

Answer 5

If you knew anything at all about this case, you would have known that Hsu was a fugitive from the government living under an assumed name at the time of the donations.

If the government can't keep track of him, how do you expect a presidential candidate to?

Next!

Answer 6

It's a pretty broad question. As much as I dislike the woman, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. Mistakes happen, she's only human. That doesn't mean that it isn't possible that she could've overlooked this or maybe even have known. Whichever way you look at it, it looks bad. The same thing could be said in reverse (putting the President in this position or comparing it to similar situations, put people fail to realize this).

Answer 7

Dumb question.... If you read and research you'll find that every single one of these candidates take the money first and ask questions later. All of them, both sides. Wake up!
And if you want some info, take a long, HONEST look at GW's relationship with the Saudi's (major contributors to 9/11 too!)

Answer 8

The President of the United States is allowed to hire people to keep track of various aspects of running our government - he or she isn't expected to do everything themselves.

Answer 9

Well I could say if W can't keep track of who has WMDs how can he keep track of the US government? Because both points have the same validity, but then again no one is dying because of hillaries mistakes,

How about this, if you don't like it don't vote for her?

Answer 10

I agree.

It is much harder to keep track of WMDs, and all the money the GAO says is missing from Iraq.
