Frist’s stock sale
I was puzzled by discrepancies in your report regarding Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s sale of HCA stock. You state that “Frist created a blind trust containing his HCA stock in 1999” and then that “he directed ... trustees to sell the HCA stock.”
If Frist knew the assets held by the trust and ordered the trustees to make specific transactions, the trust was not blind. Please don’t accept the statements of his PR people with blind trust.
