I don’t get what why Burr selling his stocks makes him a scumbag. Plenty of other people were doing that at the same time as he was.

Were those others acting on information presented to them in a classified briefing as an elected member of Congress? While it might not technically be insider information, in practicality it is.

You’re assuming he acted on something in the briefing. Did the briefing tell them something about the economy? I find that hard to believe.
