The Clinton Machine
Nothing will ever surprise me about the way the Clinton's do business behind the scenes, but might as well add this one to the pile. Apparently they are using the Chinese-American mob to strong-arm the dirt poor immigrants in NYC to donating $1-2 K each.
At this point in the presidential campaign cycle, Clinton has raised more money than any candidate in history. Those dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers are part of the reason. ..
Clinton has enlisted the aid of Chinese neighborhood associations, especially those representing recent immigrants from Fujian province. The organizations, at least one of which is a descendant of Chinatown criminal enterprises that engaged in gambling and human trafficking, exert enormous influence over immigrants. The associations help them with everything from protection against crime to obtaining green cards.
Many of Clinton's Chinatown donors said they had contributed because leaders in neighborhood associations told them to. In some cases, donors said they felt pressure to give.

This story needed to make its way onto the blog. I'm glad you got to it and spared my blood pressure.
Just an aside: kudos to the L.A. Times (not exactly known as sympathetic to conservatives) for breaking the story. But what about the NY Times? This is happening in their back yard, and lost the scoop to the left coasters? Makes you wonder if they just chose to look the other way...
