We have a revolving door with the military and the weapons manufacturers and between the FDA and big pharma and with the USDA and the meat packers. Cheney was instrumental with initiating the invasion and destruction of Iraq while profitiing enormously from his Haliburton stock and this company was awarded non-bid contracts for billions of dollars. And the infamous case of Donald Rumsfeld who was CEO of Searle whose artificial sweetener caused brain tumors and was rejected by the FDA but Rumsfeld raised a great deal of money for Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign and as soon as Reagan took office he appointed a new head of the FDA and aspartame was approved by the agency. Reagan was a grifter long before he became president when he informed against others in the motion picture industry during the Joe McCarthy hearings.
It is not simply a matter of what is illegal but which laws the government enforces and against whom they took action. The feds put Martha Stewart in jail for lying to agents as they wanted to prosecute her over a $40,000 stock trade. Meanwhile GW Bush did a sell off of $800,000 in stock for a company on which he was a board member and knew the stock was about to crash and the SEC chose not to prosecute a senator's son.
