Obama, the Magic Savior, Courted Norman Hsu

The Politico reports Julianna Smoot, national finance director of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, originally sought the support of Norman Hsu, the top fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton who is now the subject of a federal criminal complaint accusing him of wire, mail and election fraud.

An Obama aide who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “Everyone in Democratic politics knew Hsu was with Clinton from day one and no one on our staff wasted a second of time recruiting him.”
