Sen. Richard Burr (D-NC) is facing a lawsuit for allegedly taking advantage of inside information to sell shares of his stock before the coronavirus outbreak sent the market plunging.
The lawsuit was filed by Thomas P. OBrien, a former federal prosecutor, on behalf of Wyndham Hotels shareholder Alan Jacobson, on Monday in Washington, DC. It alleges that Burr violated the law when he dumpled up to $1.7 million in stocks before the pandemic caused the global markets to collapse.

Is Burr up for reelection this fall? If so, could he resign so that the Rs could at least have a shot at keeping the seat, by getting someone electable to run in Burrs place?
So you think congress critters should be exempt from all laws, A$$hole?
NO congress critter can be found guilty of insider trading. It’s the law. They are now subject to almost ALL laws because of Newt.
Find decency were it is.
Have a nice day and listen to some music by Fucik...
Maybe the next president will investigate the corrupt congress. How much were they worth when they were first elected. How much are they worth now? How did they get from amount A to amount B?
Do a retro on Dirty Harry Reed
Somebody has to do it ... DOJ sure as hell won’t.
I think the opposite, you bag of douche, and please get your reading comprehension problem fixed. It's embarrassing.
Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat. It took me less than one minute to confirm this.
This is a Democrat plan to force Burr to resign so that Cooper can appoint a Democrat. Key element of the scheme to take over the Senate without resort to an actual election.
Governor of NC is a rat.
Incorrect. If Burr resigns, he will be replaced by another republican by the republican governor.
WRONG! Roy Cooper is a DEMOCRAT
Burr is a republican, but the article misidentifies him as a democrat.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
As much as I dislike Burr and want to see him gone in 2022 HE MUST STAY!
Fight it like Menendez from New Jersey. He votes for every Judge Trump nominates! Lose him and the Democrat Governor will appoint a Democrat who will be a NO against every Judge including a SC nominee.
QUIT POSTING THIS SHIT.
You are embarrassing yourself.
Newt Gingrich REMOVED most of the exemptions for congress critters and senators, and you are attacking the person pointing it out to you, despite the fact that you are arguing in favor of what was done by the 104th congress.
This is what pisses me off! A civil suit when after it was exposed Barr should have locked his and the Rest’s asses up!!!
You are an embarrassment. You do not even understand the LAW.
Heaven help you and your progeny...
Take Newt, and his pals the Tofflers, and stick them sideways. He folded up his 1994 Revolution the day after the election and never looked back, except to continue selling out America to communist China. His free trade politics & devotion to endless war is the definition of a Neocon. Does the term apply?? Hmm???
Crackpot, I don’t converse with people who spend their time on the Q conspiracy board. So please take a hike. You have nothing constructive to add.
I am shocked there is a rat governor in a red state.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!
(A wet one)!
The Governor of Kansas is a Democrat.
Interesting. Thanks
