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, ..

If you guys don’t win, we are all in for an 8 year sentence! GODSPEED!
Nice, Ernest.
Frankly, I missed this scandal altogether. And I actually go out of my way to keep informed. Let’s hope we can connect some dots.
I know. And are you ready for this? In 2016, Chelsea will be old enough.
See my updates there regarding the way Google is ranking news items...over on that thread......
Senator Graig is the top item.....Clinton items are much more obscure...and they included an old item as the headline for the section.....
Let’s keep all of these scandals rolling along until they explode. I spoke today to a professor in charge of a political department who is often seen on television. He had no idea about Paul v Clinton. When I described what was about to happen and the evidence, particularly video evidence, he was astounded. He said that this could change everything.
If you guys don’t win, we are all in for an 8 year sentence! GODSPEED!
Yes it is time. But the sheeple won’t care, unfortunately.
HSU $ORRY NOW? ANOTHER HILLARY $CANDAL!
HSU, YOUR SUGAR DADDY NOW, HILL?
Hill's memories of HSU will be fading quickly to "I Don't Recall!"
HSU'S HSU re getting illegal money from you know, HSU!
Disgraced political fund-raiser Norman Hsu - a major donor for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other Democrats - was a wanted man again after he failed to show up for court yesterday, and a judge issued a new warrant for his arrest.
Hsu, whose criminal past has roiled the campaigns of presidential candidates, was scheduled to ask a judge to cut in half the $2 million bail he posted last week when he turned himself in after spending 15 years on the lam from a felony theft conviction.
Instead, San Mateo Superior Court Judge Robert Foiles ordered Hsu's bail forfeited to the county and issued a new arrest warrant.
