The more you look at Paul Pelosi Jr. the more you see another Hunter Biden. Paul Pelosi Jr. – like Hunter Biden, was given no-show jobs for which he wasn’t qualified in an effort to buy influence with his politician parent. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/revealed-nancy-pelosis-son-paul-pelosi-jr-was-given-lucrative-180000-a-year-position-on-infousa-weeks-after-his-mother-became-speaker-despite-having-no-experience/

Shortly after his mom Nancy Pelosi grew to become the primary girl speaker, Paul Pelosi Jr., was employed by InfoUSA for $180,000 a yr as its vice chairman for Strategic Planning in 2007. Pelosi saved his different full-time day job as a mortgage mortgage officer for Countrywide Loans in California. And, not like the entire different InfoUSA staff, Paul Pelosi didn’t report back to work on the firm’s headquarters in Omaha. The agency InfoUSA, headed by main Clinton backer Vinod Gupta, has positioned Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi Jr., on its payroll – despite the fact that he has no expertise...

Excerpt - OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Database provider InfoGroup Inc. said Thursday its founder Vinod Gupta has stepped down as chief executive. Gupta's resignation Wednesday was part of a proposed settlement of a shareholder lawsuit, documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission said. The lawsuit alleged the company misspent millions -- some of it on former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. ~ snip ~

Footnote to the Democratic primary: Among the worries of the party faithful about New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the business baggage of Bill Clinton, including his lucrative relationship with Vinod Gupta, founder and CEO of the infoUSA database and marketing firm. Make that former CEO. Gupta was replaced as chief executive of the Omaha-based firm as part of a proposed settlement of a shareholder suit which accused him of misspending millions in company funds, part of that on the Clintons. Gupta, who still owns a hefty chunk of infoUSA shares, remains a board member, but turns over the...

Excerpt - A committee investigating allegations that InfoGroup founder Vin Gupta misspent millions of dollars has identified $818,748 as personally benefiting Gupta last year and $646,931 in 2006. ~ snip ~ Another allegation that attracted attention was that Gupta had spent $900,000 in company money flying former President Clinton and Sen.

Citing excessive spending, a special committee of InfoGroup Inc. trimmed founder Vin Gupta's executive powers, removed him as chairman and arranged for him to pay back the company $9 million.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Database provider InfoUSA Inc. said Friday it received a Nasdaq delisting notice earlier this week because it still hasn't filed its annual report. InfoUSA said in a statement it expected the notice that trading of its shares could be suspended, but the Omaha company plans to appeal, which would delay any action by the Nasdaq Stock Market. InfoUSA said last month its annual report would be delayed because of an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and a shareholder lawsuit that questions the company's spending. The annual report was due March 17. Investment manager Cardinal...

NEW YORK - Concerns that infoUSA Inc.'s announced delay in filing its 2007 annual report could trigger a loan default led two credit rating agencies Wednesday to consider downgrading the database provider's debt rating. On Friday, infoUSA said its 2007 annual report will not be filed by a March 17 due date. The company said the report will be late because of an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and a shareholder lawsuit. The SEC is investigating entertainment expenditures and certain stock trades. And a lawsuit filed by Cardinal Value Equity Partners and hedge fund Dolphin LP alleges that...

OMAHA, Neb. - Database provider infoUSA Inc. said Friday it's annual report will be late because of an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and a shareholder lawsuit that questions the company's spending. InfoUSA said in a news release it won't be able to meet the SEC's March 17 deadline for timely filing of its annual report. InfoUSA formed a special board committee of five directors in December to respond to an SEC investigation and a shareholder lawsuit that claims the company misspent millions, some of it on Bill and Hillary Clinton. Under its investigation, the SEC requested infoUSA...

Clintons' InfoUSA Ties Scrutinized by Peter Overby All Things Considered, February 13, 2008 · Political campaigns spend thousands, even millions of dollars to acquire good mailing lists. Last year, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took the unusual step of renting out some of her lists. The transaction once again highlights the Clintons' connections to a businessman who now faces questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reports from Clinton's campaign show that on Dec. 3, it collected payment for renting out three mailing lists, the sale of which netted them $8,225. It was an unusual transaction, according to Roger Craver,...

Excerpt - On Thursday, all the Presidential candidates had to file their campaign finance disclosures for the fourth quarter of 2007. I gave the frontrunners' reports a quick scour both to get an updated read on the money race (summary statistics here) and to hunt for any fresh instances of the irregularities that have made this cycle so engaging in the past. So far, one schedule has made a special impression: Senator Clinton's Itemized Receipts, Line 21. Excerpted from the filing: Line 21 is typically very boring, generally nothing more than interest income on bank deposits. But it's also where...

Throughout the year, CNN has been 'supportive' of Hillary's Presidential campaign. Polls commissioned by CNN and conducted by Opinion Research have usually been lagging in reflecting negative Clinton campaign news that have been picked up by other polls. That's primarily because CNN's polling partner, Opinion Research, was bought by a 'Friend of Bill' and major Clinton donor Vinod Gupta. With Opinion Research's parent company infoUSA now under SEC investigation because of questionable practices that have allegedly been used to benefit the Clinton's, CNN seems to be turning to other polling entities to gather accurate, in-state information on many of...

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Database provider infoUSA Inc. said Wednesday it formed a committee for internal investigation and related litigation in response to a shareholder lawsuit and SEC investigation into the company. The shareholder lawsuit claims the company misspent millions, some of it on Bill and Hillary Clinton. The suit questions why infoUSA founder Vin Gupta used private corporate jets to fly the Clintons on business, personal and campaign trips, why Gupta gave Bill Clinton a $3.3 million consulting contract and why the company paid for extravagant luxuries Gupta enjoyed. ~ snip ~

Last January, an exclusive report was published on FreeRepublic.com, revealing CNN had hired a major Hillary Clinton backer named Vinod Gupta to conduct their presidential polling for the 2008 election. Since then, several reports have appeared in the mainstream media, and on this site, detailing the antics of Gupta with the Clintons - the millions of dollars in corporate funds and services he has given to them, his conflict of interests in acting as CNN's pollster after declaring that "she'll be our next president", etc. As the negative publicity about him grew, Vinod Gupta eventually claimed that he had severed...

The Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an investigation into spending by database marketer InfoUSA Inc. The Omaha-based company said in a filing Tuesday that it would cooperate with the SEC's request for documents related to expense reimbursement, transactions with related parties, some corporate expenditures and certain trades of company stock. The company did not specify what spending the SEC is looking for, but a lawsuit two hedge funds filed earlier this year may offer some clues. InfoUSA did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Wednesday. The hedge funds — Cardinal Value Equity Partners and Dolphin Limited Partnership...
