Congressman Inside Trader

It's lucky for Tom Price that the Russia story and the general incompetence of Republicans is the major story.

On the same day the stockbroker for then-Georgia Congressman Tom Price bought him up to $90,000 of stock in six pharmaceutical companies last year, Price arranged to call a top U.S. health official, seeking to scuttle a controversial rule that could have hurt the firms’ profits and driven down their share prices, records obtained by ProPublica show.

Well, sometimes one's luck changes. Hopefully, Tom's will.
