A notorious Miami computer company executive who became an influential Filipino legislator after fleeing the United States was extradited Thursday to face 4-year-old charges that he made illegal campaign contributions to former President Clinton and the Democratic Party.

The indictment accused Jimenez of funneling hundreds of thousands of illegal dollars into the re-election campaign coffers of President Clinton and Democratic Sens. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Robert Torricelli of New Jersey through 23 employee straw donors.

Jimenez's fortune helped him gain access to the Clinton White House; he golfed with the president, socialized with the First Lady and even attended one of the infamous White House coffee klatches.

During the meeting, he lobbied the administration on behalf of Paraguay, where his firm had major business interests. A month after the coffee, Clinton allowed the country to continue receiving U.S. aid despite restrictions on other Latin American governments that failed to control cocaine smuggling.

NOte that not only did Clinton take money from the Paraguay government, but there is a clear "quid pro quo". Clinton, while a sitting US President literally sold out the interests of the US, to the interests of foreign nations.

The smell from the klinton years will forever be a cruse on the American public.

There is nothing slimey coming from the klintons that is surprizing anymore except that the sewer depths keep getting lowered with each new bit of information about them.
