POS Republican Senators out in front of virus — dumping millions in stock before the market crashed

Coincidence?

Or criminal?

I wonder if the Trump family hit a lick right before they tanked the world economy?

As head of the powerful Intelligence Committee, Burr reportedly was receiving daily briefings on the threat of the virus. In mid-February, he sold 33 stocks held by him and his spouse, estimated at between $628,033 and $1.72 million,

You know good and well the fat lying bastards family and friends were warned.

And before yous start screaming Fakes News... when it comes to POSes, it takes one to knows one, eh?

To be fair, Sen. Feinstein dumped a bunch too but......her stock was move by a blind trust. The lying liars manage their own stocks.
Burr tells America everything is okay as he dumps his stock.

But don't let the pesky facts get in the way of your partisanship.

Feinstein should resign as well, along with the trump loyalists and that includes anyone who profited while hearing classified information while sitting on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

But, Feinstein hasn’t been out promoting the tremendous job the fat lying bastard is doing like the trump loyalists, has she?

Yes, Feinstein profited as well.

It makes no difference to me which side of the isle these dirtbags are from. That should be classed as insider trading,

This is where that longtime gray line always was and why it was all the way until 2012 until insider trading was even really addressed for Congress Critters.

In many instances and this is one, it's a fine line to draw whether trades were based on inside information or just normal business. Many people have "advance" information that's not insider trading that eventually effects their trades.

Many on the left are claiming that Feinstein's trades were a result of a blind trust that she wouldn't have influenced. But somehow this blind trust traded appropriately based on information they wouldn't have yet had otherwise. Or is it just prudent traders?

for years, or forever it might have been, congress did not have insider trading laws applied to themselves and maybe even to their staffs

the arguments used in the past for this went something like this:

1. congress has to meet the court of public opinion and the people can vote them out
2. congressional members have the right to discipline their staff
3. congress can discipline its members
4. congress is a separate branch of government and shouldn't be held in fear of prosecution by the executive branch

60 minutes and other news outlets ran stories in 2011 concerning members of congress who had used insider information on stock trades

so in 2012 a law was passed to attempt to remedy this

I am not sure however how knowledge of the wuhan chinese coronavirus was insider information

I sold all my stockholdings in December after I heard about it

sometime after that I even posted it here that it might be the proverbial black swan event

if I could sense that how could it have been secret insider info?

Yous will make excuses for these buttsholes with your dying breath, eh?

Why would this be any different?

Glad yous sold your stocks. Now yous will survive the great toilet paper famine!

Remember when the economy crashes and the Banks close yous dumb fucks asked for it. Stop worrying about Trump and start concentrating on your defenses and how you'll get through the tough days ahead.

I am not defending anyone

I am not in favor of insider trading

I think all such miscreants need to face the full weight of the law

but it needs to be insider trading, which is knowledge the general public cannot possibly glean, not mere prescience, so there is a question regarding that

two things made me do what i did in December

1. the corona incident in Wuhan
2. the fact the stock market kept going up and up and up, and I have been around long enough to know that couldn't continue, but it did for some time after
