This should clear some things up, I think. Who knows how her office handles these?

(see post 85 in this thread: Feds Searched Offices of 7 McKinney Donors)

An FEC spokesman said that campaigns are supposed to report donations on the date they receive them, which may not be the same date the gifts are made. One of McKinney’s September 11 contributors—Sabah Jabri, a retiree from San Diego—told Human Events that he sent his $250 contribution after receiving a fundraising letter from McKinney "some time during the summer."

So McKinney's office received these checks on 9/11? I find that very hard to believe. Congress shut down early in the morning, so that I doubt if there was a mail delivery in McKinney's D.C. office that day. In any case, why would you have an inordinate number of checks received on what was surely at the least a severely abbreviated workday?

And remember, these were out-of-state checks. I think it's unlikely the checks would have gone to a Georgia McKinney office. Even if they did, would the post office there have delivered them before the office shut down that day?

Here are 2 backstory links to the Southwest AIRLINE PILOT who gave McKinney money on Sept. 11th:

Fareed, an airline captain who has lived three years in the Las Vegas area, said he fears non-Muslims are confused about his religion and the political motivation of bin Laden, a Saudi fundamentalist who relocated in Afghanistan and who is closely aligned with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad

And from September 2001, no exact date given:

Southwest Airlines Capt. Atif Fareed, a Muslim and 20-year pilot, told nearly 60 onlookers in the UNLV amphitheater that the mainstream media must think more critically. When juxtaposed against his flight experience, he says reports casting the kamikaze pilots as "inexperienced" are laughable. It took skill, he argues, to fly sophisticated planes nearly 500 mph into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon.
