Jinnah was indicted in May 2006. Soon after, he fled the country for his native Pakistan. Jinnah's attorneys said later that he left to care for his ailing mother and stayed in Pakistan after falling ill himself.

After being told of the criminal charges against Jinnah, Clinton and Boxer gave charities or the U.S. Treasury the contributions listed in the indictment as well as donations made by Jinnah and his family.

Jinnah returned to the U.S. in May and has been under house arrest. An attorney for Jinnah declined to comment and said the matter would be dealt with in court.

gave the money to charities... or the U.S. Treasury.
Or ....?

Seems funny they can’t actually be specific.

Wel well well. Give the LA Times credit, they’ve been at the forefront of breaking the news on these illegal contributions/contributors. Good for them and good for us.

“...in which candidates hungry for cash ignore warning signs about those able to raise it.”

Or, in the case of these two, just brazenly disregard the warning signs while stuffing their support hose with the cash.
