Haven't we seen this kind of thing before from the Clintons?Hillary is on the defensive about taking money from Chinese immigrant benefactors. This time, it looks even more awkward. ...the candidate?s fund-raising swing through the Chinese community of New York resulted in $500 to $2,300 donations from people identified as ?dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers.? Of the 150 donors on paper, 50 couldn?t be located, and at least one openly says he hasn?t contributed to the campaign. An April fund-raiser in a poor neighborhood fetched $380,000.

Clinton?s current reasoning ? ?There were more than 250 people at the event? ? doesn?t quite compute, because that makes the average donation an awfully high $1,520 (the absolute maximum allowed per person is $2,300). In other words, it certainly looks like some entity is using New York?s Chinese immigrant community to funnel funds into the Hillary campaign.
