where's the crime? (none / 0) (#11)

Well, he was a fugitive, having been convicted of crime already.  For another thing, he disappeared (it is a lot easier to prove a crime when you have someone to ask questions of).  Flight in and of itself leads to suspicion of guilt.  If Norman Hsu were Rove's bundler all of you would cite it as yet another proof of the corruption of the Republican party.

he was a fugitive

The issue under discussion was the implication that his political contributions were illegal. His "fugitive" status was unrelated to that except as a basis for little more than idle speculation.

Flight ... leads to suspicion of guilt

Suspicion is not evidence.

were Rove's bundler all of you would cite it as ... proof of the corruption of the Republican party

Not without evidence of some sort of quid pro quo or purchasing of special access or favors, I wouldn't - and evidence of that is exactly what's missing here. Your argument is just another case of an accuse-the-accuser attempt at distraction.
