Burr is my Senator. Won’t be sorry to see him replaced by a conservative.
What a piece of crap! I hope he is charged with insider trading.
AND THE HOUSE? Did Democrat Schiff dump stock based on secret intel he had access to?
Adam Schiff is the head of the House intelligence committee, and has access to the government’s most highly classified information about threats to America’s security.
The intel committee was receiving daily coronavirus briefings, according to a Reuters story.
The stock market then began a sharp decline.
On Thursday, Schiff’s Senate counterpart, came under fire after NPR obtained a secret recording from Feb. 27, in which Intel chair Sen Burr gave a VIP group at the exclusive social club a much more dire preview of the economic impact of the coronavirus than what he had told the public.
“Senator Burr filed a financial disclosure form for personal transactions made several weeks before the U.S. and financial markets showed signs of volatility due to the growing coronavirus outbreak,” his spokesperson said. “As the situation continues to evolve daily, he has been deeply concerned by the steep and sudden toll this pandemic is taking on our economy.”
Many of the congressmen use a blind trust to manage their stock portfolios.
Loeffler said she didn’t know her stock was traded for three weeks after the fact.
Before these stories are broken, the reporters should find out all the facts. Outside of Loeffler (ie, her statement) I’ve not seen any mention of who actually made the trades.
This is terribly sloppy reporting.
Well they tend to jail Republicans, so maybe we will get lucky.
Reminiscent of a former Senator from New York who was involved in some cattle futures deal. But didn’t the Congress pass some kind of rule/law/provision for their special privileges on insider trading?
Dianne Feinstein did as well, AOC. Should she resign and be prosecuted, too?....................................
And these 'blind trusts' can see everything.............
Schiff is a Penlosi confidant----the two who ran the impeachment fiasco.
Congress' intel committees were receiving daily coronavirus briefings, according to a Reuters story.
The stock market then began a sharp decline.

Truth is, as I understand it, members of Congress EXEMPTED themselves from Insider Trading laws and Regulations years ago. How to you think that so many of these worthless Parasites became Multi-Millionaires in the first place? Because of the business savvy and acumen? Give me a break! LMAO!
All Burr said was that this government was prepared to deal with the crisis. He was correct. He never said it would all be rosey or stocks wouldn’t go down. I assume he has some sort of financial advisor who told him what to do. Sad to see everyone here wanting to give up the Senate.
And btw I hate Burr.
My fellow citizens of these United States of America: The republic has been overtaken by lying, deceitful, thieving, plundering, raping, murdering, arrogant criminals.
Yeah. The Doug Collins supporters jumped entirely too soon.
I’ve already made up my mind. I’m not voting for Collins.
I don’t like his personalty AT ALL.
Yesterday, I posted a comment about Finestein doing this in the past. Well apparently she did Insider BS again.

I completely agree with AOC on this point, Good for her for making a stink about this.
In our current state, I doubt any politician can survive this scandal. I’ll be the first to ask, if Johnson and Burr resign will democrat governors replace them?
These people sell stock and buy it back. Nothing unusual. In fact, common sense at that point. It's not like they were the only ones.
Exactly. If stocks were sold by financial advisors acting independently, they acted on the same information I was hearing everyday on Fox Business. These stories are just an effort to flip the Senate.
NO ONE can predict the markets. I don’t have the time to explain that but it’s based on long experience. You think it was so certain the market would go down? It’s never certain.
Please, BISH.
