GOP Rep. Doug Collins slammed primary rival Sen. Kelly Loeffler on Friday, saying he is “sickened” over new allegations that she sold off millions of dollars of stocks in the days before the coronavirus outbreak crashed the market.

“People are losing their jobs, their businesses, their retirements, and even their lives and Kelly Loeffler is profiting off their pain? I’m sickened just thinking about it,” Collins, R-Ga., tweeted Frida

Thanks to this revelation, Loeffler is history in the jungle primary, with or without Collins. The question is whether Loeffler’s (probably innocuous and coincidental blind trust) stock sales will sink the GOP in GA among moderates such that Collins’s hopes of winning in the general are sunk as well.

That should put him over the top in his quest take over the seat. Unfortunately it won’t. DiFi is a crook-Chicom influenced. Infoe is too old(76+) to continue. Will that stop him? Then there’s the N.C. Rino. He needs to go now not next year. Last it’s who?

I want to know who Loeffler’s stock broker is. She said he made the decisions in a blind trust. I want him managing my money

But unfortunately she dodged when Tucker asked who it was

Trump should call for them all to quit for taking care of their own business before the peoples. Let the chips fall where they may.

But the sweet gigs for their kids that DUmocrats get, let's overlook that...it is nothing more than a political theater move for the DUmocrats to get back the Senate.

The elite in this country, almost without exception, are scum. We send wave after wave of people to D.C. & it’s the same old same old corruption.

Rintintin - exactly. My investments are traded daily by a financial advisor. I don’t know what he does, but I guarantee you he won’t do a stock dump unless he asked first or I directed him to do so.

People are not losing their jobs because of the stock sale that is because Mayors and Governors are shutting down their business and making them stay home. These 4 senators did not cause the stock market to crash. But Collins will use it to get elected.

There will be an investigation and if there was inside trading then the senators will have to deal with it.

She did nothing wrong and Tucker is on a populist jihad with this stuff. His last question to her was whether Burr should be indicted. Totally unfair. The story only came out yesterday.

She was pitiful on Tucker.

Absolutely pitiful.

If Burr resigns, the Democrat governor will name the successor pending a special election in either 2020 or 2022.

"She was in full CYA mode on Tucker tonight. Looked like a ditz."

I saw this interview. Everyone should get on youtube and watch the first 20 min of Tuckers show. This women was lying her a$$ off.

This thing has an odor far far more sinister than simple insider trading. Senator kennedy of LA said in an interview he was at all those meetings and if there was inside information he did not hear it.

So these senators appeared to know far more than what was being talked about in these closed meetings. It's one thing to reduce your position based on this inside information but these four members of the intelligence committee virtually liquidated their portfolios. You don't do that on the mere threat of a pandemic. You only do that when you KNOW SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. Tucker reported Loeffler had like 27 sale transactions and two buys one of which was for Citrix, a company that makes software used in telecommuting. I'm sorry no one and I mean no one is that good at money managing, nor are they that lucky. The senators, all members of the intelligence committee and privy to very very deep state info must have known the chances of this virus impacting the US was a near certainty. What did they know?

I'm just going to say it. Did these senators know a biological attack on the US was eminent? Was this a planned attack? Their actions seem to indicate they knew with certainty the US was going to be hit hard and they are clearly not prepared to explain how they managed to pull off the most perfectly timed stock trades ever. This thing stinks of a very sinister plot.

The question is whether Loeffler’s (probably innocuous and coincidental blind trust)

That might be more believable if her husband wasn't the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange.

That line is about as believable as Gropin' Joe Biden saying he had no idea his son was sitting on the board of a Ukrainian oil company while he was part of an American administration that was in the middle of destroying the American oil industry.
