Then he needs to remove himself from the Intelligence committee now.
You people (certain Freepers) are friggin nutz. The Dems are loving this. Once again Pubs will go against one of their own to show how “fair” they are, by taking on one of their own because we are so “moral”, whereas the Dems will do nothing action-wise against Feinstein, who will get a pass and be protected by her fellow Dems.
Meanwhile we lose an important Senate Intelligence Committee leader, and/or have him kicked out and thus have only a one vote margin in the Senate. We eat our own over trivia. When Tucker Carlson went after Burr on his Fox TV show, you could almost viscerally feel the elitist condemnation by Tucker of Burr (Tucker was born into a wealthy family and had an elite education) by stating multiple times that Burr’s background before becoming a Senator was a “lawnmower” salesman, like that made him the lowest of the low commoner and therefore more worthy of condemnation. He was a slimy lawnmower salesman, don’t you know, an apparent con man in the making, a greasy salesman.
The cat was out of the bag about the virus and had already been disseminated and spoken about on-line and in the media about how the virus was a dangerous one at the time Burr and the others sold their stocks. It was already common knowledge. Burr has stated that he wants the ethics committee to investigate as he says there was nothing illegal about his transaction at the time of the sale.
You guys get all high and mighty and moralistic over a piddly stock transaction the likes of which have been done by Senators for years and years, to the detriment of our Party, our majority in the Senate, and oh won’t all of you feel just so good about yourselves as we lose our hold on the Senate and thus put our Country in peril over what, an assumption of guilt about Burr when you don’t even know the actual facts. What a bunch of ignorant dummies some of you are. The Dems are playing chess and you are playing checkers.
I might add I am beginning to actively dislike Tucker Carlson whose Libertarian leanings are coming out more and more, who is constantly getting on his moral high horse condemning whatever the latest crusade he spouting on any given night, against individuals without knowing the actual facts. He’s very quick on the trigger finger. And he is a nightly gloom and doomer about all things Corona virus.
I’m sick of hearing his nightly moralistic opinings. He’s hurting Trump. Tucker must not be getting enough attention to his points of view by Prez Trump; not enough stroking of his ever larger ego trips. He’s getting like Geraldo Rivera who badmouths the President a lot because Trump isn’t paying enough attention to his whining and complaints, especially when it comes to immigration.
I’m disgusted with Tucker for going after Burr without letting the ethics committee figure out if there is anything to the accusations, as well as those against the other 3 alleged Senatorial offenders. James Inhoff wasn’t even at the supposedly classified meeting that wasn’t even a classified meeting, it was a closed meeting, a big difference my FRiends.
Regardless, if Burr goes down over this in the scheme of things piddly low monetary stock sale, there goes our most slim of leads in the Senate down to a one Senator majority. Geez, too many FReepers can’t see the forest for the trees. Think rather than just react, for heaven sakes.
Why do you think this lawsuit is being filed; it’s because the guy bringing it is undoubtedly a Dem backed by other Dems to do this knowing they will then be within one vote of controlling the Senate. And idiots in our own Party will facilitate this and feel oh so good and moral about themselves while our Country teeters on the border of socialist destruction. A sucker is born every minute - P.T. Barnum.
