Just went back and noticed that yesterday's WSJ included this lovely tidbit :

A Clinton campaign spokesman, Howard Wolfson, said in an email: "Norman Hsu is a longtime and generous supporter of the Democratic party and its candidates, including Senator Clinton. During Mr. Hsu's many years of active participation in the political process, there has been no question about his integrity or his commitment to playing by the rules, and we have absolutely no reason to call his contributions into question."

Yeah, no reason, except perhaps the fact that he is a fugitive. It is surprising that the Clinton campaign would go out a their way to defend Hsu yesterday when it was clear there was more to the story. A rare misstep for team Hillary, which has thus far run a nearly flawless campaign. Wolfson did not issue a subsequent comment to the LA Times for today's story, so it should be interesting to see how they backpedal.
