But the man is nothing if not bold. Disgraced political donor Norman Hsu wasn't hiding from anyone over
the past few years, his lawyers say. If California authorities really
wanted to find him, they could have asked Hillary Rodham Clinton or one
of the other prominent Democrats he showered with cash donation. Hsu
is asking a judge to toss his 15-year-old felony fraud conviction,
arguing that his right to a speedy trial was violated because
authorities weren't actively pursuing him.
Yes, Hsu is arguing that his due process rights were trampled because he'd undertaken the life of a fugitive and the state wasn't holding up its end of the bargain by chasing him diligently enough.

... under consideration for any lawyer making such a fundamentally corrupt argument. Because our lawyers and our political class are inextricably intertwined -- and both fundamentally corrupt unfortunately.
