Rupert Murdoch's WSJ reports: 1 percenter sentenced to prison
I guess you did not know he was a big contributor to democrats.
Over the course of his tenure as a management consultant, Gupta and his wife, Anita, were also regular donors to national Democrats. The couple was most active as donors in the 2008 cycle, according to Center for Responsive Politics data. Rajat Gupta maxed out on his individual contributions to President Barack Obama's general election campaign and donated another $2,500 to his Victory Fund, while his wife gave $4,600 to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid -- half of which had to be returned after she failed to advance to the general election. Additionally, Rajat Gupta wrote a $10,000 check to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee after giving $20,000 to the committee in 2006.
Aside from donating to Obama and Clinton’s 2008 campaigns, Rajat and Anita Gupta have consistently remained faithful to their party’s presidential nominees. Rajat Gupta contributed $25,000 to Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) Victory Fund in addition to $2,000 to his campaign committee, and gave $1,000 to Al Gore in support of his 2000 White House bid.
The Connecticut couple has backed their local candidates financially too: then-Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) received $4,200 from Rajat Gupta for his 2008 campaign and Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) received a total of 188,000 from the Guptas throughout the 2008 and 2010 cycles.
The Guptas, who are Indian-Americans, have also commonly supported Indian-American congressional candidates outside of their own district. In 2010, Anita Gupta contributed $2,400 to then-Rep. Raj Goyle’s (D-KS) congressional campaign, while Rajat Gupta donated $2,400 apiece to Ravi Sangisetty and Reshma Daujani, who ran for Congress in Louisiana and New York respectively.
Rajat and Anita Gupta's donating days appear to be over. Neither has made a contribution so far in the 2012 cycle; that seems unlikely to change in the wake of Rajat Gupta's conviction.

As long as he's in fucking prison with other scumbags like you, who cares what political party he belonged too?

RacistX thinks donating to a political party = a "get out of jail free" card. Maybe that's the way it works in the GOP ranks.

Thats the way it works if you have a (D) after your name.
