New york Post:

    A Pakistani immigrant is wanted by federal authorities on charges he channeled $30,000 in illegal contributions to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential war chest.

    The FBI is hunting Los Angeles businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, who vanished soon after his grand-jury indictment for violating federal election laws last May.

    Jinnah, 56, a cellphone and frozen-yogurt businessman, allegedly collected campaign donations from family members, friends and employees at fake fund-raising events - then reimbursed them. The scam allowed him to evade the $2,000 limit on individual contributions to candidates, the feds say.

    He is believed to have fled to his native Pakistan after his indictment on charges of conspiracy and making illegal campaign contributions.


Hillary, of course, denies any knowledge of the illegal fundraising.

However, the Los Angeles Times has a picture of her attending one of Jinnah's fundraisers.



In addition, the Times notes, Jinnah's fundraising for Hillary goes back to her initial 2000 Senate race, and may have swayed foreign policy decisions made by President Clinton and other democrats:

    In early 2000, a controversy erupted when a group of Pakistani Americans hosted a $50,000 fundraiser for Hillary Clinton as President Clinton was deciding whether to visit Pakistan on a Southeast Asia trip. The Clintons denied the contributions swayed the decision to make the stop.

    Later that year, Jinnah hosted a luncheon fundraiser for then-First Lady Clinton at his house. Jinnah hosted a second fundraiser for Clinton in October 2004.

    That year, he also helped form the Pakistani American Leadership Center, which describes itself as a coalition of Pakistani Americans seeking to further U.S.-Pakistan ties. It has helped persuade more than 70 House members to join the Congressional Pakistan Caucus.

    The group was particularly jubilant when Rep. Howard L. Berman (D-Valley Village), who had previously sponsored a bill targeting Pakistan for sanctions related to its nuclear program, agreed to become a member.
