Clinton-Hsu Connection: Serious Money Now

With all of the attention on the nasty Moveon.org attacks on General Petraeus and the flurry around the Iraq hearings, Hillary Clinton is getting a free pass on a massive scandal. I say massive, because she's returning nearly $1,000,000 dollars in campaign contributions made by donors associated with the now infamous Mr. Hsu.

She's giving back just shy of one million dollars in questionable funds. No matter how deep her pockets are for the election, nearly one million dollars is a serious number. This turn of events should lead to further scrutiny of the Hillary Clinton campaign and should be cause for an investigation of her fundraising policies and her contributors. She now promises to do background checks on future contributors, but through either failure or incompetence, her campaign staff has already allowed nearly one million dollars of questionable money through the door.

The Federal Elections Commission should be investigating her entire operation at this point. It would be good for Senator Clinton, allowing her to clear her name of wrong-doing, and good for the electorate, knowing that the highest office in the land isn't corrupted during the campaign. Senator Clinton should lead the calls for an FEC audit.
