It's reasonable to speculate that the SEC will investigate the millions of dollars of corporate funds and services that Vinod Gupta has given to the Clintons.

Let's excerpt that one, shall we?

Since he left office in 2001, former president Bill Clinton has been paid $3.3 million by infoUSA, an Omaha, Neb., company that has been identified as a key provider of specially designed databases that have been sold to criminals who use the detailed information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly.

The consulting fees to the former president were only part of the largess infoUSA showered on the former president.

Vinod Gupta, the CEO of infoUSA, lent the Clintons the company's jet, which took them to places like Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica and Mexico. The jet service was worth a staggering $900,000.
