BREAKING HHS secretary Tom Price was under investigation by US Attorney Preet Bharara

Preet Bharara was fired even though Trump personally shook his hand and said he could stay on board. Turns out that Preet was investigating Department of Health and Human Services head Tom Price for shady stock deals.

Former US Attorney Preet Bharara, who was removed from his post by the Trump administration last week, was overseeing an investigation into stock trades made by the president’s health secretary, according to a person familiar with the office.

Tom Price, head of the Department of Health and Human Services, came under scrutiny during his confirmation hearings for investments he made while serving in Congress. The Georgia lawmaker traded hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shares in health-related companies, even as he voted on and sponsored legislation affecting the industry.

Price testified at the time that his trades were lawful and transparent. Democrats accused him of potentially using his office to enrich himself. One lawmaker called for an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, citing concerns Price could have violated the STOCK Act, a 2012 law signed by President Obama that clarified that members of Congress cannot use nonpublic information for profit and requires them to promptly disclose their trades.

The actual guy committed to draining the swamp is not welcome in a Trump presidency. To the surprise of nobody.

Let's see the spin for this. Surely it'll involve a few "but Hillary's" and a couple "but Obama's".

From what i understand. Congress is exempt from insider trading. But this guy was trying to go after Price using some vague wording in a 2012 Obama "Stock act" trying to pin down "prompt disclosure" wording as a catalyst for the investigation.

The truth is Congress shouldn't be exempt from anything the public is criminalized for. But I'm finding a hard time seeing this as nothing more than partisan investigation that most likely won't lead to nothing but drama.

So yeah, Trump really does need to clean house.
