Do these people know anything about anything?
Maybe I’m giving Democrats and their media allies too much credit by ascribing ignorance to them on the matter of Tom Price and the so-called “allegations” against him. I realize Democrats don’t know much about business, but I assume most of them know the law. And if that’s the case, then they know the suggestion our soon-to-be Secretary of Health and Human Services engaged in anything like “insider trading” is so much nonsense.
Ever since I learned that it is legal for them to do insider trading, this sort of thing is a non-starter for me. That is, unless there is evidence that he seriously abused that. But my take is that this is a fishing expedition to see if he did something that is not illegal.
Democrats have blocked bills to make insider trading illegal for Congress many times. Maybe now we can get it passed! SO much winning.
I’ve known Tom since 6th or 7th grade. He’s a good, stand-up guy with high integrity.
It would be hilarious if he pointed that out in questioning. :-)
Along with the other points in the article, the purchase was for 26 stocks worth under $2700. LOL, that is ridiculous to claim insider trading for that.
If this is all they have, well, good. :-)
Meanwhile, the Clinton Global Initiative has closed down, and none of them ask one single question about that!!!
