Frist investigation

SEC Opens Full Probe Into Frist Stock Sale
WASHINGTON - While insiders at HCA Inc. were selling millions of dollars of their own stock this year, they were also painting a sunny picture of the company's outlook for investors. Federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating the sale of HCA stock by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., whose family founded the company that grew into the nation's largest for-profit health care chain.

The SEC turned its initial inquiry into a formal investigation of the company, HCA announced Thursday. The company said it is cooperating with investigators.

The amount of corruption in this administration is unreal! But imagine if we could clean up this cesspool! It would take a helluva lot of doing, but at least things are getting started. But, we'll see if anything sticks - these weasels have managed to get away with everything for years, so no reason to think that they won't evade justice yet again.
