MORE CHINESE ‘FUNNY MONEY’ FOR HILLARY
Guess what?
Busboys, waiters and dishwashers in Chinatown are somehow finding the resources to make donations of $1,00, $2,000 or more to Shrillary’s presidential campaign. The Los Angeles Times here commits what The Blogfather commonly refers to as a “flagrant act of journalism.”
NEW YORK — Something remarkable happened at 44 Henry St., a grimy Chinatown tenement with peeling walls. It also happened nearby at a dimly lighted apartment building with trash bins clustered by the front door.
And again not too far away, at 88 E. Broadway beneath the Manhattan bridge, where vendors chatter in Mandarin and Fujianese as they hawk rubber sandals and bargain-basement clothes.
All three locations, along with scores of others scattered throughout some of the poorest Chinese neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, have been swept by an extraordinary impulse to shower money on one particular presidential candidate — Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton’s campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known or its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000.
By comparison, in 2004, the French-looking candidate, John F-ing Kerry (who served in Vietnam) only raised $24,000 from this area.
This is more dirty money, the source of which cannot be identified. Many of the donors are most likely illegal aliens, who cannot make legal donations. At least one of the Chinese neighborhood associations has ties to criminal enterprises which engage in racketeering and human tracifficking.
The Times examined the cases of more than 150 donors who provided checks to Clinton after fundraising events geared to the Chinese community. One-third of those donors could not be found using property, telephone or business records. Most have not registered to vote, according to public records.
And several dozen were described in financial reports as holding jobs — including dishwasher, server or chef — that would normally make it difficult to donate amounts ranging from $500 to the legal maximum of $2,300 per election.
Of 74 residents of New York’s Chinatown, Flushing, the Bronx or Brooklyn that The Times called or visited, only 24 could be reached for comment …
[M]ost of the Chinese reported as contributing to Clinton’s campaign have never voted. Many speak little or no English. Some seem to lead such ephemeral lives that neighbors say they’ve never heard of them
In any case, how many busboys, waiters and dishwashers have the means to make donations of $1,000 or $2,000 or more to any political campaign? Where is this money coming from? Legitimate concerns are raised with at least one neighborhood association having connections to organized crime.
People who just appear to have been made up out of wholecloth are all over the Clinton donor list:
The tenement at 44 Henry St. was listed in Clinton’s campaign reports as the home of Shu Fang Li, who reportedly gave $1,000.
In a recent visit, a man, apparently drunk, was asleep near the entrance to the neighboring beauty parlor, the Nice Hair Salon.
A tenant living in the apartment listed as Li’s address said through a translator that she had not heard of him, although she had lived there for the last 10 years.
The Times has several more stories of donors who simply do not exist or are listed as living at residences where they do not live or working at jobs where people have never heard of them.
We have an illegal alien who eagerly gave $2,500 to The Hildabeast:
One New York man who said he enthusiastically donated $2,500 to Clinton doesn’t appear to be eligible to do so under federal election law. He said he came to the United States from China about two years ago and didn’t have a green card.
The is just a continuation of the Clinton Chinese funny money operation begun in the 1990s to finance Der Schlickmeister’s re-election and continued to get Shrillary into the Senate and the two of them back into the White House.
Is this the sound of the other Hsu dropping?
More from Michelle Malkin, Allahpundit and Suitably Flip, who takes on the Clintons’ penchant for using “bundled money.”
Bundled money is yet another by-product of “campaign finance reform,” or how the Democrats have learned to cheat McCain-Feingold and get around the limits.
One question everyone is asking: where did all this money come from?
