WASHINGTON // A Pakistani immigrant who hosted fundraisers for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is being sought by the FBI on allegations that he funneled illegal contributions to Clinton's political action committee and to Sen. Barbara Boxer's 2004 re-election campaign.
Authorities say Northridge, Calif., businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, 56, fled the country shortly after being indicted on charges of engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees. A business associate charged as Jinnah's co-conspirator has entered a guilty plea and is scheduled to be sentenced in Los Angeles next week.
...The case has transformed Jinnah from a political point man on Pakistani issues, a man often photographed next to foreign dignitaries and U.S. leaders, into a fugitive with his mug shot on the FBI's most-wanted list.
Jinnah's profile peaked in 2004 and 2005 as he wooed members of Congress to join a caucus advancing Pakistani concerns and brought Clinton to speak to prominent Pakistani-Americans, lauding their homeland's contributions to the war on terrorism and calling relations with Pakistan beneficial to U.S. interests.
...Authorities say that from June 2004 to February 2005, Jinnah directly or indirectly solicited contributions from more than a dozen "conduits," reimbursing them with funds from his company, All American Distributing, a seller of cell phone service and accessories.
The scheme allowed Jinnah to get around limits then in effect on individual donors of $5,000 per year to PACs and $2,000 per election to candidates, as well as the ban on using corporate money for political donations.
...The indictment, handed down last May without a press release, mentions only the initials of the committees that received the illegal donations, referring to them as "HP" and "FB." However, the charging document filed against Jinnah's co-conspirator, Stuart Schoenburg, identifies one of the committees as HILLPAC, ..

TheSpiritOfAllegiance was keeping the ping list for me. Let me check to see if he sent it to me or I can convince him to keep doing it for me.
Neubauer is supposed to be having a phone conversation with Peter. Let's see if he does and actually does a real report on Hillary.

It's always a wonder why the recipients themselves of illegal campaign contributions aren't held liable.They ARE held liable - - if they are Republicans. Even if Republicans are merely SUSPECTED of shady dealings they are raided and indicted, usually around election time. Ask Curt Weldon. The FBI - - still apparently controlled by the Clintons - - made sure Weldon was defeated in order to quiet all the talk about Bill Clinton's irreversible damage to national security during his term. (The Clintons put a simple scumbag named Joe Sestak in that seat. The whole sordid tale is HERE.)
Meanwhile, nothing much seems to be happening with William "Cold Cash" Jefferson (Democrat, Louisiana). Nothing will happen to Hillary or Boxer, either. Maybe they will ultimately be treated as harshly as, say, Sandy Berger, who pled guilty to stealing and destroying sensitive classified documents from the National Archives.
Funny, but when I twice voted for George W. Bush it never occurred to me that he would preside over, and actually enable, one of the most corrupt Justice Departments in the history of the United States. It is an absolute disgrace - - makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
