The Los Angeles Times reports that Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been raking in money from New York’s Chinatown from poverty stricken dishwashers, waiters and busboys. Their jobs and dilapidated home addresses (the ones that can be verified) seem to make it improbable they could afford the $1,000 and $2,000 contributions finding their way into Clinton’s coffers.
The paper tries to figure out who these people are and how they can afford to write big checks to Hillary – all without much success:
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. . . .
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.
A man named Liang Zheng was listed as having contributed $1,000. The address given was a large apartment building on East 194th Street in the Bronx, but no one by that name could be located there.
Census figures for 2000 show the median family income for the area was less than $21,000. About 45% of the population was living below the poverty line, more than double the city average.
In the busy heart of East Broadway, beneath the Manhattan Bridge, is a building that is listed as the home of Sang Cheung Lee, also reported to have given $1,000. Trash was piled in the dimly lighted entrance hall. Neighbors said they knew of no one with Lee's name there; they knocked on one another's doors in a futile effort to find him.
Salespeople at a store on Canal Street were similarly baffled when asked about Shih Kan Chang, listed as working there and having given $1,000. The store sells purses, jewelry and novelty Buddha statues. Employees said they had not heard of Chang.
Another listed donor, Yi Min Liu, said he did not make the $1,000 contribution in April that was reported in his name. He said he attended a banquet for Clinton but did not give her money.
Many of these donors admit they were pressured by so-called Chinese Neighborhood Associations to make these donations or were given money to do so. At least one of these “associations” has had a shadowy past involving organized crime, gambling and human trafficking and exert enormous influence over immigrants.
The Clintons have always been very cozy with the Chinese and others with Far East connections. The result has been bagmen like Charlie Trie and, most recently, Norman Hsu. Hillary had to return almost $ 1 million in “questionable” donations from the Paw family on the West Coast - another set of donors whose contributions did not jive with their incomes.
Folks, this is just another in a long list of examples where Hillary will operate without any moral or legal consideration and acts shocked when she gets caught. This has and continues to stink to high heaven!
