That must be why he was censured for conflict of interest.

to the contrary is politically motivated jingoism

That certainly explains why he was not only censured for conflict of
interest, but by a body with a Republican majority.

Vice President Dick Cheney still has a large ( ~$5 million IIRC,
probably not much to him) stake in Halliburton in the form of stock
options and uncashed bonusses. He has said that he will donate the
entire bundle to charity, but AFAIK has not done so yet.
