It was never intended to be a career. We were meant to have citizen legislators who gave up a piece of time out of their lives for love of country and then return to their lives and homes.
It’s why it’s called the good old boy club.
I said that law is about receiving information where a specific company is named. Are you saying they were briefed on specific companies? In other words they were told "American Airlines will take a huge drop" or even "Airline stocks are going down"? If not, then it is not what that law is about, nor is it insider trading. Period. I assume they were NOT briefed on specific companies. The idea is ridiculous.
If they drew their own conclusions on what to sell based on the coronavirus then they were no different than anyone else drawing the same conclusions.
Also, where are you getting information about what stocks they sold? I don't think that's publicly known. Are you lying?
The idea that were or may have been briefed on the effect of coronavirus on specific companies is ludicrous.
