*One week later* he sold $848,000 worth of Harken stock.
2 months later, Harken announced losses of more than $23 million.
The James Baker law partner who helped Bush beat the rap from the SEC was a man by the name of Robert Jordan, who, when George W became president, was appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
