Sitrick has new client

No such thing as dog days for our favorite crisis manager. L.A.-based Sitrick & Co. is now working for Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, the fellow who had been a fugitive from a 1992 grand larceny case in California. He also has contributed big bucks to Hillary Clinton's campaign, creating big headaches for the candidate this week (the LAT and WSJ broke pieces of the story). He was led to jail in handcuffs this morning after a judge ordered him to post $2 million bail. Anyway, when he turned himself in, Sitrick associate Jason Booth was on the scene. Hsu's attorney is James Brosnahan of Morrison & Foerster's SF office. Both declined comment, and Hsu was seen chewing his nails. (LAT)
