The Hong Kong-born Norman Hsu, a suspected Ponzi scheme mastermind, will get back about $850,000 in tainted donations.
Hsu has raised more than $1 million for Democrats.

The Los Angeles Times interviewed one investor who said she "can't stand" Hillary, but made donations "solely to stay in Hsu's good graces" and knew others who did the same. "They knew they had to do it or they were out," she said.

Why would a suspected swindler be a top donor to a White House favorite? Is Hsu fronting for a group, a foreign government?

• Why did Clinton ignore warnings about Hsu? California businessman Jack Cassidy reportedly alerted the Clinton campaign in June of his suspicions that Hsu was a fraudster.

• The Clinton campaign is accepting future contributions from the same people to whom, because of their associations with Hsu, it is returning $850,000. That amounts to a shell game.

• The Jack Abramoff scandal dominated the headlines last year. Why do the media suddenly become less interested in campaign finance improprieties when the violator is a Democrat?

HsuGate is a flashback to the scandals of Clinton's husband — John Huang and the Buddhist temple; Johnny Chung transferring cash for a Red Chinese military officer, including $50,000 delivered directly to the then-first lady's chief of staff; Charlie Trie, who was cozy with a front firm for the Chinese military.
