The SEC Wants a Little Chat With Bill

Senator Bill Frist has been ordered to turn over personal documents related to his very well times selling off of HCA stock.

People close to the inquiry said Mr. Frist, the Tennessee Republican who is Senate majority leader, was recently served with a commission subpoena for documents, which was believed to be the first such request of him. The sources, who asked to remain unidentified because of the confidential nature of the investigation, would not characterize the substantive nature of the documents being sought.

In a statement, Bob Stevenson, the spokesman for Mr. Frist, did not directly address the existence of the subpoena but said the senator had been "fully cooperating with the authorities conducting the inquiries and will continue to do so, including keeping our public comments to a minimum."



Of course you will be keeping our public comments to a minimum, who the heck wants to talk about their own criminal activity.

The Republican Culture of Corruption, alive and well in DC.
