Democrats don’t get investigated
Senator Richard Burr (Rep) of NC was investigated for insider trading. He stepped down from his role as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in May 2020 due to the investigation into 30 stock trades he and his wife made using confidential information he received in non-public Senate briefings pertaining to Covid 19.
The DOJ ended its investigation of Burr on January 19, 2021 (the day before Biden was sworn in as POTUS) with no charges. Three weeks later, on February 13, 2021, Burr was one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Donald Trump, in the Senate trial, after the Trump was impeached a second time by the House of Representatives for the January 6 events. Burr voted to convict Trump, which would have prevented Trump from running for public office in the future, even though Trump won the popular vote twice for president in 2016 and 2020 and the state’s Electoral votes.
Was the timing coincidental?
