From today's Political Journal:

A New Member of 'Exiles for Hillary'?

Norman Hsu, the fugitive from justice who may have illegally funneled over a
million dollars to Hillary Clinton and other leading Democrats, has
apparently gone missing. The New York Times tried to find the elusive Mr.
Hsu this week and ran into a stone wall.

There are no offices for Mr. Hsu at any of the addresses he listed for his
companies, and at the elegant residential tower that he gives as his
personal address, Times reporters were told he moved out two years ago.

Even E. Lawrence Barcella, Mr. Hsu's lawyer, seemed to be abandoning his
client. He said that Mr. Hsu was getting a California lawyer to represent
him over a warrant that was issued there in the 1990s when Mr. Hsu failed to
show up for a court hearing after pleading no contest to grand theft
charges. Mr. Barcella carefully declined to comment on the whereabouts of
his client and stressed that he won't be handling Mr. Hsu's argument with
California authorities: "On that matter, he will be represented by
California counsel."

All of this is very reminiscent of the 1996 Clinton fundraising scandal. A
total of 120 witnesses either fled the country, pleaded the Fifth Amendment
or otherwise were unavailable for questioning. In the end, a total of 14
people were found guilty on various charges relating to the scandal. No
wonder the Hillary Clinton campaign wants to change the subject away from
Mr. Hsu.
