Washington Post Examines Former FDA Head Crawford's Resignation, Subsequent Investigation

Washington Post Examines Former FDA Head Crawford's Resignation, Subsequent Investigation:
"Crawford or his wife held shares in several companies whose business is regulated by FDA as late as 2004, when Crawford was FDA's acting commissioner, according to financial disclosure forms obtained by the Wall Street Journal. According to the Journal, Crawford began work at FDA in 2002 with stock in many companies, including Merck, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer. He told ethics officials that in 2002 he sold those stocks, along with stock he held in Kimberly-Clark, which makes medical devices; PepsiCo; and Sysco. Crawford reported the sale in 2002 of his stock in Teleflex, which also makes medical devices, though 'later forms show that he or his wife continued to own some shares,' the Journal reports."

Missed this one before. Has anyone kept count of how many criminal or ethical investigations are going on against this administration? It seems like they just keep on coming. Should we have a pool going on the final total number?
