I don’t know if this story will become a block buster or not, but it should! And of all places to show up, but at the LA Times!
According to the article, donations are pouring into Hillary’s campaign from some of the poorest areas of New York’s Chinatown, from donors who sometimes can’t be tracked down. If this is proved to be true, by itself it would be very troubling. The addresses listed in campaign reports are from run down tenement buildings, the types that have “the paint peeling from the walls.”
The article goes on to say that these areas would not appear to be prime prospecting areas for fund raisers looking for donations in the $1,000-$2,000 range.
On the LA TIMES website their are several articles related to Hillary’s fund raising in general and also to our old friend Mr. Hsu in particular. I haven’t had time to read any of them, but I’m going to tonight.
Please click on over to their website and judge for yourself if this is a major story or not, and BTW, DRUDGE seems to think so, he has it in big headlines on his site.
If you think this has merit, please distribute it amongst your circle of influence, especially anyone you know that is a “fence-sitter.”
Also, let’s see if the rest of the MSM runs with the ball or if they try to spike the story.
