Very Curious Hillary Donations

Hillary ClintonIs Hillary Clinton's campaign playing fast and loose with donations? It sure seems that way, as the Wall Street Journal has uncovered some curious donations and they lead to one of Hillary's top fundraisers. The Paw family lives in a modest house and their income is not exorbitant. Amazingly, they've donated $45,000 to Hillary over the last two-years. It gets better:

The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign. He has hosted or co-hosted some of her most prominent money-raising events.

...Lawrence Barcella, a Washington attorney representing Mr. Hsu, said in a separate email: "You are barking up the wrong tree. There is no factual support for this story and if Mr. Hsu's name was Smith or Jones, I don't believe it would be a story." He didn't elaborate.

Go right for the race card, hey Larry?

Anyway, this could hurt Hillary in ways that Edwards or Obama never could. This is not Whitewater or Travelgate, this is pure and simple cheating if the charges are true -- and the WSJ seems to have covered their bases well. Note the top donation people in the inset; they are all wealthy, where the Paw family is not. It warrants a serious look into the transactions to say the least. Let's watch this one.

Update (8/28/07 1836): Well don't ya know it, more irregularities with the Dems and their King Fundraiser. I. Am. Shocked!
