    Investigations by the Boston Globe revealed that as more than a dozen Steward Health Care patients died in recent years after being unable to receive adequate treatment, De la Torre embarked on various jet travels and private yacht excursions across the Caribbean and French Riviera.

    The Boston Globe also revealed that De la Torre frequently used the hospital chain’s bank account as his own, including to make purchases to renovate an €8m ($8.9m) apartment in Madrid and to make donations of millions of dollars to his children’s private school.

    I wonder why he didn’t want to answer questions under oath

    the first time in more than 50 years that the chamber has moved to hold someone in criminal contempt

    You must be truly heinous to get every single senator to hate you

    Boy, you know you fucked up when not only does such a divided Senate vote unanimously against you, but it’s to hold you in criminal contempt after they’ve spent the last half-century not doing that.
