Hillary's Money Men?

November 1, 2007

The errors about me in "Hillary's Mystery Money Men," by Russ Baker and Adam Federman [Nov. 5], are countless, but some are especially inexcusable:

1. The very premise of the article is false. If Baker and Federman had called the Hillary Clinton campaign, they would have learned that I am not a secret force there. As Howard Wolfson, the campaign's communications director, said, "Mr. Quasha is not an adviser, nor in the inner circle, nor a fundraiser for the campaign. In short, Mr. Quasha has no role in this Campaign." In fact, I am openly backing Mitt Romney for President.

2. Shamefully, the authors use innuendo to link me to disgraced political fundraiser Norman Hsu. I have never met Hsu, had dealings with him or spoken with him.
