When Is A Blind Trust, Not A Blind Trust

When it is Sen Frist Blind Trust.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., was given considerable information about his stake in his family's hospital company, according to records that are at odds with his past statements that he did not know what was in his stock holdings.

Managers of the trusts that Frist once described as "totally blind," regularly informed him when they added shares of HCA Inc. -- his family's health care company -- or other assets to his holdings, according to letters from the trustees to Frist and the Senate which are required by the trust agreements.


This is the blind trust that he put all his assets into; Assuring us that this way he would not know what stocks he held and decisions he made on policy issues would not be tainted by his potential to personally make or lose money.

and yet, he knew precisely what he was holding.

In other words he lied.

And this man wants to be your president.

UPDATE.

Another Senator, Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J., appears to have simmilar issues.

another liar
