Fugitive Fundraiser Hsu Caught

Norman Hsu caught in Colorado, according to the San Fran Chronicle:

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.

Is Hillary Clinton nervous? Perhaps she should be. If Hsu cuts a deal with federal investigators and pleas to violating federal election laws, one thing he could bring to a potential plea bargain is an offer to testify against certain politicians who definitely knew what was going on. Considering the breadth of the Hsu donations, this is beginning to have a certain Jack Abramoff-like smell.

I'm also wondering if we can find out where exactly he's been getting his money. One thing for sure, he won't be able to post bail this time.
