“ Would like to see what the other Senators did with their insider info.... ”

Does that mean you’re defending Burr? You use the “everybody does it” excuse?

I’m sure Pelosi, Schumer, et al were able to avoid getting racked. Of course they will NEVER admit to insider info.

burr should be removed and replaced with someone not part of the deep state. Imagine what burr would say if this had been Trump JR doing this.

Why are Congressholes even allowed to participate in the stock market when they are in office? This must end.

the Congress criminals write Laws for others
as they DARE ATTACK THE ELECTED PRESIDENT.

they should have to face the Laws they make for others,
but they never do. they are NEVER accountable. NEVER.

Well, well, well...isn’t this just special. Senate Ethics Committee has some business to take care of.

Congress is exempted from insider trading. Pelosi has made a bundle doing it, among others.

House and Senate members have rigged the insider trading laws to exempt themselves. We would go to prison if we did this, as Martha Stewart did. Diane Feinstein is one of the prime insider traders in the Senate, so Burr must have been taking notes.

Didn’t Congress pass rules exempting themselves from trading on insider information?

What needs to be dumped is about 95 Senators. (I’m being generous in guessing there may be five honest ones.)

Other senators are not in the middle of a close re-election race. This, along with the recording of him telling large campaign donors about the seriousness of the Coronavirus pandemic weeks before telling his constituents may be enough to cost him his seat in November.

A week after Burr’s sales, the stock market began a sharp decline and has lost about 30% since.

Ummm, what am I missing here?

NPR news director to cub reporter:

“Found anyone in congress profiting from the Coronaviris pandemic yet?”

“Nah, chief...nothing but Democrats...no story there...”

“Wait!! I think I’ve got one! Burr...he’s a Republican...sort of, isn’t he?”
