Missing Hsu: Lawyer Brosnahan Gives Conflicting Stories

Hsu is on the lam again.
He skipped court today in California and a new warrant was issued for his arrest.
Norman Hsu gave hundreds of thousands to democrats before he disappeared today.

Hillcap donor Norman Hsu with Hillary two years ago in 2005.

Hsu's lawyer Jim Brosnahan is quoted in the media giving two different versions on democratic donor and Fugitive Hsu's whereabouts.
The Associated Press reported this news on Norman Hsu this evening:

"Mr. Hsu is not here and we do not know where Mr. Hsu is," Brosnahan said outside court. Brosnahan said that "there was some contact" with Hsu a few hours before the scheduled 9 a.m. court appearance, but he declined to say how and who talked to Hsu...

Brosnahan (Hsu's lawyer) said he didn't know if Hsu returned to his Manhattan condominium or stayed in California after his five-hour jail stint Friday when Hsu turned himself in. He was released from jail after posting $2 million bail, which a judge refused then to reduce to $1 million.
But the SFGate reported this from Hsu's lawyer Brosnahan:

A judge ordered him to surrender his passport, and Brosnahan said one of his legal assistants went to Hsu's New York condominium on Monday to retrieve it. Hsu was in California at the time, Brosnahan said. The assistant followed Hsu's directions, but couldn't locate the passport after 90 minutes of searching, the attorney said.

Brosnahan said someone had been in contact with Hsu a few hours before the 9 a.m. hearing, but he declined to comment on who it was and whether that contact was by phone or other means.
So, in one interview Brosnahan says he does not know if Hsu went back to NYC or stayed in California and in the next interview he says that Hsu was in California on Monday.

Also, don't you think if someone from the defense team spoke with Hsu a few hours before the court appearance this morning that they would have asked Hsu where he was?

It sounds like Brosnahan knows more on Hsu than he is telling.

There are also bloggers looking at Hsu's democratic donations.

  1. The mainstream media's line is if the Hsu flits, bury it.

    HILLARY CLINTON TAKES MONEY FROM THE MULLAHS

    excerpt:

    [According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Clinton has received $5000 in campaign contributions from a PAC called the American Iranian Council, which is known to be against sanctions and in favor of restoring diplomatic and trade relations between America and Iran — something that would only further prop up the regime.]

  10. Well I'm shocked I tell you!

    A search of the Gray Propagandist Hag for 'Norman Hsu' actually produced 11 results but will it end up producing a whole section dedicated to him as it did for Jack Abramoff ?

    A search of the WaPo for Hsu produced four pages of results...

    Yet will they produce a Hsu section similer to that for the one they have on Jack Abramoff ?
