Tucker Carlson Calls for Senator Burr to Resign and Face Prosecution Over $1.7M Stock Dump Unless He Has an ‘Honest Explanation
Mediaite ^ | MAR 19, 2020 | JOE DEPAOLO

There has been outrage across the political spectrum over a shocking report that Senate Intelligence chair Richard Burr (R-NC) dumped as much as $1.7 million in stock just before the market tanked, despite publicly maintaining that the government was on top of the coronavirus. Thursday night on Fox News, Tucker Carlson completely tore into the senator from the Tar Heel state.

In a scathing end-of-show commentary, Carlson called on the senator to either justify his actions, or step down and be indicted.

“Maybe there is an honest explanation for what he did,” Carlson said. “If there is, he should share it with the rest of us immediately. Otherwise, he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for insider trading.”

Except for a few exceptions, we need to purge congress after this mess is over. I don’t care even if some of these scum pretend to be for America. We have a ruling class of greedy globalists that don’t give a damn about us. They serve corporations, other governments, lobbyists, their pocketbooks and their genitals. Trump put a kilter in their plots and they went after him. Now, we need to elect people that care about America first and the average citizen.

Insider trading is not illegal for members of Congress...that is absolutely true. Congress exempted themselves from that legislation.

"You don’t like laws against insider trading?"

Group 535 issued those Laws. They just made themselves exempt.

Agreed.

Projected P/E is a big indicator for many.

Each company is affected differently, you are right.

You got that right. Congress has passed a myriad of laws and rules that the are exempt from following. Insider trading is one of them.

I agree. He was just more savvy in thinking the market may tank. That is not insider trading; besides insider trading is OK for members of Congress.

REMINDER: Sen. Kelly Loeffler is married to Jeffrey Sprecher, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and the chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, which is NYSE’s parent company.

She dumped her stock as well.

Here is how this is gonna work Sucker Carlson. The GOP Senators in question will resign. A month or so later we will find out that just about every dem Senator dumped stock as well. Then Sicker Carlson you will look into the camera (if you can take some time off from virus fear mongering) and say “these Senators should design as well.” Then, Sicker Carlson, Schumer and the rest will tell you and every American fo eff off as they control the Senste, re-open impeachment, call witnesses and not ONE MORE judge is confirmed.

Then, Sicker Carlson, you can get back to complaining about CNN Covering for the Dems. And we can all pat ourselves on the cracks for being the party of the pure.

These DC butholes all do this. But as usual, we will all okay along with the two tiered justice system and wonder why we are living in socialist landia.

Losing.

Burr is self purging. He has stated he is not running in 2022.

May as well oust almost the entire congress. They are all inside traders. They made it legal for themselves.

<That is my understanding. They can use info in reports, closed hearings to enrich themselves and many do.

The other source of enrichment is bribes from foreign countries.,

Maybe the guy just had gut intuition. It happens.

For instance just before the huge run on everything I had my husband buy a huge pack of TP, double pack of Lysol spray, Chlorox wipes, Vitamin C, Zicam, Ivory soap, etc. The Covid19 was not really discussed yet. (Wish I had listened to myself and bought more flour)

We had NO idea it would turn out to be like Venezuela a week later.
