When former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton took a family vacation in January 2002 to Acapulco, Mexico, one of their longtime supporters, Vinod Gupta, provided his company’s private jet to fly them there.
The company, infoUSA, one of the nation’s largest brokers of information on consumers, paid $146,866 to ferry the Clintons, Mr. Gupta and others to Acapulco and back, court records show. During the next four years, infoUSA paid Mr. Clinton more than $2 million for consulting services, and spent almost $900,000 to fly him around the world for his presidential foundation work and to fly Mrs. Clinton to campaign events.
Those expenses are cited in a lawsuit filed late last year in a Delaware court by angry shareholders of infoUSA, who assert that Mr. Gupta wasted the company’s money trying “to ingratiate himself” with his high-profile guests.
The disclosure of the trips and the consulting fees is just a small part of a broader complaint about the way Mr. Gupta has managed his company. But for the former president, and for the senator who would become president, it offers significant new details about their relationship with an unusually generous benefactor whose business practices have lately come under scrutiny.

vinny strikes again.
Oh wait. It's printed on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
Naturally.
all the news that’s fit to print...on Saturday. LOL
Some newfangled attention-getting device, woven into the suit?
Is this to send messages via the ties?
The lights are in the fold of the suit’s lapels. They shine right on the tie.
Yeah--but they seem to manage to lose as much of their baggage as the airlines do.
GUPTA AND CNN NAILED ON YOUTUBE — http://youtube.com/watch?v=hFXgpG0R83U
RE: The Clintons’ role in the shareholder suit has been largely overlooked even as the presidential race has heated up.
Gee, that sounds familiar.
what’s the smoking gun video by a former Asst. US Attorney ?
I will have a YouTube on that pretty soon. An assistant US ATTORNEY held video evidence for two years that Peter Paul managed to finally get about three weeks ago. Hillary is on tape and is clearly involved in soliciting and coordinating a illegal hard money in-kind contribution. That video should have been part of an FEC investigation, part of the David Rosen trial, and part of a Senate ethics hearing. A short piece of it is here: http://hillcap.org
Yep. The next, bi-annual NYT expose of the Clintons will be printed in the Christmas Day edition.
Just as long as it sees the light of day.
This Clinton monstrosity will go down as America’s “Myopia”.
All of us are to blame for it.
He'll never sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom again.
Hey DFU—just watched your video. Excellent job...at least the Times reported on the Gupta story today.
Why doesn’t Alberto Gonzalez go for broke and open an investigation on Hitlery with a goal of enforcing election laws? The lame duck nature of the Administration should allow a certain insulation from the usual charges of political motivation.
unfortunately this won’t go anywhere. This is just a friend giving rides and money to an ex-President and his wife (not in Senate role on trip) they will say.
