Hillary is business as usual, accepting campaign contributions from a fraudster Hsu

More is coming out about Hsu/Clinton fundraising scandal. According to the LA Times, Hsu has delivered bundles of checks to Clinton's campaign from investors he does business with. Although Clinton has returned some of the money, she has not returned those bundles of donations delivered by Hsu.

Hsu is wanted on a benchwarrent from the early 1990's in California for a fraud. He is now in a hospital and will be sent back to California to face up to the charges brought against him.

We know Hillary Clinton has the potential to bring in millions of dollars from rich donors willing to give the maximum amount allowed. This begs some obvious questions:

1) The question is, why is her campaign accepting money from people who are (at best) of a questionable nature?

2) Why Clinton feels the need to cozy up to corporate interests to fund her campaign?

3) How does her accepting large donations from corporations differ her from Republicans?

I have to seriously wonder how the Clinton campaign made such a large error in judgement accepting these donations from Hsu.

[Yes, I am aware that Obama accepted $2,000 from Hsu as well, but promptly returned it. To my knowledge he did not received "bundled" donations from Hsu as Clinton did.]

Discuss....
