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!!!

Oh wait

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.

i'm sure attorney general sessions will get to the bottom of it!

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.
It means Luca Brazi sleeps with the fishes.

Bill Clinton fired 93 of 100 attorneys

Dude, do you mean that all the others US attorneys were just sipping lattes? There were no active investigations by any of them?
No prez could ever let the US attys go? Hell if I was one, the minute my party lost the election, I would start an investigation on the incoming prez spouse, and dare them to fire me!

"Fake News" is not nearly a harsh enough term for this BS
Seriously!

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.
Seriously!

you may have noticed some serious allegations of unethical stock trading from Democrats and a few pieces of misleading journalism. Most recently, there’s CNN’s allegation that Tom Price introduced the HIP Act (which would remove CMS regulations on medical device manufacturers) to boost the stock price of Zimmer Biomet after $2,697.74 of such stock was unknowingly purchased a week prior by Price’s Morgan Stanley financial adviser as part of his portfolio’s annual rebalance (a rebalance which included transacting in 69 other stocks on the same day as these reports will fail to mention).
These reports also fail to mention that Dr. Price began this legislative effort to delay these same CMS regulations back in 2015 and that HIP Act of 2016 had essentially zero chance of becoming law given the Obama administration’s public opposition. Not to mention, Zimmer Bionet stock actually fell both on the day of the introduction of the HIP Act, and the day after.
After having done some research on Rep. Price’s entire portfolio over the past 10 years and having spoken to those with detailed information on the matter, let me explain in detail how these allegations are completely unfounded.
