BREAKING: Fired U.S. Attorney Bharara Was Investigating HHS Sec Tom Price

by Ronn Blitzer | 3:33 pm, March 17th, 2017

 

 

 ?

?Preet Bharara was fired as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York last weekend, prompting speculation over why the Obama administration holdover was let go. Now, sources tell ProPublica that Bharara was leading an investigation into Tom Price, President Donald Trump’s new Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Democrats fought against Price’s confirmation, even refusing to attend a hearing at one point, because they wanted further investigation into allegations for improper trading. Price fell under suspicion after it was learned that he purchased stock in a medical device company days before he introduced legislation that would benefit them.

A source close to the U.S. Attorney’s Office told ProPublica that the office was investigating Price’s stock transactions at the time Bharara was fired.




I'm Shocked!!!

I can't believe Trump singled out Bharara to fire him!

So what?

Was he investigating him by himself? Is his staff not capable of carrying on the investigation? If so, they need to be fired too.

If I knew I was about to get shitcanned, I would start an investigation into someone as quick as possible to give, at least, the hint of impropriety. Maybe that would save my arse.

Right because it's not like the new guy would close it down with a quickness.

With that ocean of corruption that was the last regime, you actually think any of those appointed by Obama would investigate a dem?

1) Trump called Bharara before the expected termination
2) Bharara asked Justice for approval to talk to Trump but got no response.
3) Bharara chose not to return Trump's call

4) You know Bharara wasn't singled out for termination yet still started this thread. I'm disappointed.

It's an old Sicilian message.

If he started a quick investigation into Hillary he would still be there today. Fact.

Did Trump say that he could stay on the entire duration of Trump's presidency?

"Staying on" is very very vague and unquantified defense and really not a valid attack against Trump.
