Democratic Fund-Raiser Indicted By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- Miami businessman Mark B. Jimenez was charged today with 17 counts of making illegal contributions to President Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign and other Democrats. The indictment was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, charging him with using straw donors to make contributions to the candidates. The 52-year-old businessman becomes the 12th person charged by the Justice Department campaign finance task force. ''We are not letting up,'' Attorney General Janet Reno said in announcing the indictment. Jimenez is chief executive and majority owner of Future Tech International Inc., a distributor of computer components and peripherals in Miami. He was charged with conspiring with the company and others to impede the Federal Election Commission in its role as regulator of federal election laws. The grand jury indictment charged that donors who made contributions to Clinton and the other candidates were then reimbursed, ultimately by Jimenez. The straw donors were employees of FTI and of Mark Vision Computer, a Miami-based company owned by a close relative of Jimenez, the grand jury said. Initially, the employees were paid for their contributions through the FTI and MVC payrolls and later reimbursed from Jimenez' personal funds, the government charged. The grand jury charged that the straw contributions to the Clinton campaign totaled $23,000 and were made in connection with a Sept. 19, 1995, fund-raiser at the Sheraton Bal Harbour in Miami. The Associated Press reported last weekend that House investigators and a grand jury had gathered evidence that Jimenez may have used straw donors to make donations to Clinton's re-election. The evidence included payroll records and an affidavit from a former employee who alleged she had been reimbursed for her donation to Clinton. newsday.com Btw, Jimenez's attorney is the Dem's counsel for Clinton's impeachment, Abbe Lowell. Whatta coincidence.

My Dearest Ann, Excuse me but your fangs are showing and the venom for those you won't agree with undermines your last post. Bouquets.
