Senator Kelly Loeffler dumped millions worth of stocks following a private briefing on the Coronavirus.
“Appreciate today’s briefing from the President’s top health officials on the novel coronavirus outbreak. These men and women are working around the clock to keep our country safe and healthy.” Loeffler tweeted on January 24, 2020 — Loeffler reported her first stock sale (jointly with her husband) this very same day.

Collins will use this against her.
Well, I don’t think they should be for bidden, but perhaps they should have to put all of their assets into a blind trust run by someone else.
Collins should be the Rep Senate nominee after this.
BS. Insider information.
Democrat Media doesn't report on Democrat wrongdoing.
I wish I had done it.
These stories are idiotic there is nothing wrong with their public statements or stock trades this is all a hit job. You didn’t need to be a senator to see this problem coming.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There are laws against trading with insider Information.
Ask martha stewart.
Her hubby should know better as head of NYSE.
All I can say is: go tommy. War Eagle
The bill was introduced by Joe Lieberman, independent United States Senator for Connecticut, on January 26, 2012, and passed in the Senate by a 96–3 vote.[2] Later the House of Representatives passed it by a 417–2 vote.[3] The bill was supported heavily by vulnerable incumbents and signed into law by President Obama.[4] According to the current United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics, "A member, officer, or employee of the Senate shall not receive any compensation, nor shall he permit any compensation to accrue to his beneficial interest from any source, the receipt or accrual of which would occur by virtue of influence improperly exerted from his position as a member, officer, or employee."
he STOCK Act is an original bill to prohibit members of Congress and employees of Congress from using private information derived from their official positions for personal benefit, and for other purposes. With this bill in place, members of Congress are no longer allowed to use information garnered through official business for personal reasons. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act prohibits members and employees of Congress from using "any nonpublic information derived from the individual's position ... or gained from performance of the individual's duties, for personal benefit". The bill also applies to all employees in the Executive and Judicial branches of the federal government.
The STOCK Act requires a one-year study of the growing political intelligence industry, and requires every Member of Congress to publicly file and disclose any financial transaction of stocks, bond, commodities futures, and other securities within 45 days on their websites, rather than once a year as they do now. The Act also requires members of Congress and Executive branch officials to disclose the terms of mortgages on their homes, prohibits them from receiving special access to initial public stock offerings, and denies federal pensions to members of Congress who are convicted of felonies involving public corruption. The bill is divided into nineteen sections.
Oops. Wrong state. Go collins!!
Bull. Flipping. Squat! They send normal citizens to jail for pulling this crap. But if you’re in government, it’s all good. It’s the best game around. Get elected and become a millionaire because of this. It isn’t right, it isn’t moral, it isn’t OK.
I doubt that. They never get punished.
I have no use for Loeffler but I don’t think thats illegal. Sleazy but not illegal.
Both of these yobs ought to lose
Fortunately Collins is running against that nit wit Loeffler
It’s insider trading. They started the run on the market
They gained knowledge due to briefing that no one else got
Are you a politician?
This just sank her campaign for the senate seat here in Georgia.

I think Doug Collins takes the seat.

I sure hope so. We need more warriors like Collins in the Senate and fewer effete globalists, like Lindsey Graham, selling visas to rich Chinese.
