Among the items in Norman Hsu's personal collection of Clinton memorabilia: CDs of presentations made by Hillary Clinton as well as an envelope of thank-you notes from the Democratic presidential front-runner.
He Norman Hsu ( Shoe) dropped mega bucks on Hill's campaign- guess she will call for " more campaign finance laws" to stop this 'outrage' or the other pat answer: taxpayers should be paying for my campaign and coronation- AKA "public financing"

• See a list of the items seized and a seizure warrant.
Those items were on a list released yesterday of things seized from Mr. Hsu's Manhattan apartment by federal agents, who last month charged the businessman with fraud.


The contents were revealed the day after the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York said it found a saxophone signed by Bill Clinton and about 200 bottles of fine wine and Champagne. The Red Cross said Mr. Hsu purchased the instrument at auction for $26,000 at an event for the group attended by both men in October 2005.


The prosecutors' inventory of seized items provided a glimpse into Mr. Hsu's life. In September, the U.S. attorney in New York charged Mr. Hsu with running a Ponzi scheme that allegedly cost his investors $60 million. He was also charged with pressuring investors to donate to candidates, and reimbursing some, which is illegal. Mr. Hsu has said he didn't reimburse people for donations. He is being held in California on a separate, 16-year-old grand-theft charge also involving an alleged Ponzi scheme.


His lawyers have said he isn't guilty of any wrongdoing.
And O.J. is still hunting down the culprit that murdered his wife and Ron Goldman.
