Hillary's Fundraiser Back in Custody

Norman Hsu can run but he can't hide...very well:

Fugitive political fundraiser Norman Hsu, who skipped out on San Mateo County authorities this week rather than face sentencing for a 1992 fraud conviction, was apprehended Thursday night by federal and local lawmen in Grand Junction, Colo.

Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction at 7 p.m. local time. He had been on the lam for almost two days after failing to appear in a Redwood City courtroom Wednesday to surrender his passport.

Hsu was taken off a passenger train at the Grand Junction train station earlier in the day by paramedics who requested a backboard to move him, said Sgt. Lonnie Chavez with the Grand Junction Police Department.

Authorities received a request for medical assistance at the train station at about 11:15 a.m., but the exact nature of Hsu's condition was unclear, Chavez said. Staff at St. Mary's Hospital declined to comment.

When he's returned to California, let's hope they pull his passport and keep him in the pokey. He's fled custody twice and I'd like to think that California authorities are stupid enough to release him again.

Now it's time for Federal election officials to get serious about investigating Hsu's contributions, not only directly, but through the various sock puppets he used such as the family in Daly City, CA and a new family in New York state, again an address that Hsu used to use, at which donations were generated on the same day as Hsu's.
