Posted by MacRanger as Hillary Clinton, corrupt democrats, democrats
This may be the story of the year and grow larger with time. Reminds me of another time, back in 1996 when husband Bill’s campaign benefited mightily from selling satellite technology to the Chinese for a buck or two of campaign funds. Fred Thompson was active in the question asking of that period. Perhaps his interest will perk up to this latest example of campaign corruption from Camp Clinton, I know that the Obama camp is paying attention.
“One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.
Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.”
Ok, this is simple. Does the Paw family have the money to make such donations?
“It isn’t obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple’s grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to “attendance liaison” at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.”
Ok, so they don’t have the money. But where would they get it?
“The Paws’ political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign. He has hosted or co-hosted some of her most prominent money-raising events.”
Oh, I see, sounds like “Money Laundering”? Alas who will pay attention and look into it?

I believe that the FEC should at the least look into this story, if not the DOJ. The question will be whether or not they will. On the FEC they will have to as no doubt someone will file the complaint based on this story, most likely Judicial Watch or some other so-called watchdog organization. Not CREW though, they’re too busy chasing bathroom antics.
UPDATE: Capt Ed. agrees that it should be looked into. Screw it, I’m filing the FEC complaint.

2A man who is 64 years old and makes $49K a year with a wife who is a “homemaker” takes out a note for $270K? How the hell did that happen? Now, assuming that his age prevented him from getting a 40 year mortgage, even with a 30 year note he would be paying an average, minus taxes and insurance, $2,700 a month in house payments.
If he takes home 80% of his salary, he is taking home approx. $3,266 a month leaving him $500 a month for living expenses, taxes, insurance, gasoline, car note/insurance, medical co-pays etc. If he is supplementing his income with a “gift” shop, me thinks I need to get me one of them.
I noticed that the news reported that Geoffery Feiger, a noted attorney who often shows up on Greta Van Sustern’s show, was also indicted for campaign contribution irregularities for John Edwards.
Do we have any doubt that these Democratic campaign contributions will be buried on page C-10 of the NYTs? Or not at all.

3The Clinton Campaign offers us a lesson on how to launder campaign donations…
Is this coincidence or is this a scheme to ‘launder’ campaign donations? I believe it is a carefully arranged way to direct money to campaigns, bypassing campaign donation limits, and not a coincidence. And likely, perfectly legal, i…
