These charges relating to Harken were investigated and dropped. End of story.

"Investigated and dropped" doesn't seem a very scrupulous description of the following:

But long before that ruling — though only a few weeks before bad news that could not be concealed caused Harken's shares to tumble — Mr. Bush sold off two-thirds of his stake, for $848,000. Just for the record, that's about four times bigger than the sale that has Martha Stewart in hot water. Oddly, though the law requires prompt disclosure of insider sales, he neglected to inform the S.E.C. about this transaction until 34 weeks had passed. An internal S.E.C. memorandum concluded that he had broken the law, but no charges were filed. This, everyone insists, had nothing to do with the fact that his father was president.

I hope for your clients' sakes that you're more careful with the facts when you go into court on behalf of a client.

I doubt you have any actual and coherent dispute of the facts as stated by Krugman, which do seem closely parallel to the Imclone/Waksmann criminal misbehavior -- at leaset close enough to require some effort by Mr. Bush's defenders to dintinguish the conduct. Do you have any actual argument on the point?
