Hell, they ALL do it. They know how a piece of legislation is going to affect the market and that awarding a fat government contract can cause a company’s stock to skyrocket while the competitors; stock will plunge. And they write legislation in such a way that ONLY a close family member can win a fat contract.

“Every Republican in a Blue state is under constant investigation by Dem libtard DOJ.”

Maybe so, but there are far too many Republicans in office who try their hand at illegally “improving” their financial situation. The truth is, a lot of Republicans are just about as crooked as their RAT counterparts.

95% pork barrel: https://chriscollins.house.gov Not one single item about reducing spending. He did vote for the tax cut, but probably was pushing for the blue state local tax deductions.

In this case it had less to do with writing legislation than the fact that Collins
has sat on the board of Innate Immunotherapeutics Ltd and held a 16.8 percent stake in the Australian company.

A lot do, for sure. I'd PREFER they go after corrupt Republicans first. Isn't our party about draining the swamp, now that President Trump is in charge?

Whenever it’s a Republican, they put party affiliation in the headline or first sentence.

Whenever it’s a Democrat, they bury party affiliation.

Obvious bias. Pathetic.

Wake up. This is about the seriousness of the charge.

Remember the VA give who got railroaded for stuff his wife did? Even US supreme Court saw through that BS conviction and over turned it.

I get fed up when our side starts buying into the libtard lies.

If the uniparty wants to go there, by all means, let’s!

Let the insider trading investigations and subsequent indictments commence!

1 down and 534 to go!

The blue check marked media libs on Twitter were making sure to note that he was Trump’s first Congressional endorsement so they would get lots of comments from their followers equating him with Trump and calling Trump corrupt. This has nothing to do with Trump. He maintains his innocence, and we’ll se what happens. I’ll say this, do I think they would have went after him if he was a Democrat? Sadly, I wonder if we’d hear about it.

GOPe = RAT = UniParty
UniParty hacks enriching themselves with their position and power. They don’t give a shite about the constituent “unwashed masses” (that’d be us) except that we pay for their legalized theft (taxes) to fund their BS.

“Wake up. This is about the seriousness of the charge.”

I assure you, I am wide awake!

Republican office holders need to be completely clean of anything remotely unlawful. This guy has turned himself in. There are other family members supposedly involved. The courts will sort this out, but there has to be a modicum of evidence to support the indictment, otherwise it will be kicked.

Chris Collins was the first republican congressman to support Donald Trump. He is hated by democrats and RINOs. This is all about Trump.
The lying ass FBI agent speaking right now is a democrat from the US Southern District of NY, the most partisan court in the United States. Now Mueller will try everything in his power to tie him to Trump and find out if Trump was tipped off by Collins. This is another political witch hunt.
