Anyone wanna bet a lunch nothing happens to Diane Frankenstein?

Let’s expedite this. Burr guilty, Feinstein not guilty.

The end.

[Vendome]

WTF ever

They can’t charge and convict conspirators but, they can water time on this?

I don’t care

“Congress passed the Stock Act in 2012, which made it illegal for lawmakers to use inside information for financial benefit,” CNN added. “Under insider trading laws, prosecutors would need to prove the lawmakers traded based on material non-public information they received in violation of a duty to keep it confidential.”

I think this was intended for things like spending that could help or damage a company - for example if somebody knows that a certain defense contractor will be awarded a big contract. It has to do with information that directly impacts a specific company IMO. A briefing about COVID-19 doesn't fit that.

Why do I think this will damage the GOP more than the DEMs?

Looming pandemic was obvious by end of January.
Anyone smart with money moved everything out of stocks and into cash fast: if right, avoid the crash; if wrong, no harm done and just buy back in at par.

[McGavin999]

It would be really fun if they traced all the stock sales and the sellers were not permitted to buy stock until the market returns to normal.

[cherry]

something must be done.....

[Texas Eagle]

Why stop there? Investigate ALL insider trading transactions made by Congressholes.

[Political Junkie Too]

“Congress passed the Stock Act in 2012, which made it illegal for lawmakers to use inside information for financial benefit,”

They will say they didn't sell "for profit," but to avoid a loss.

However, watch them take that "avoided loss" and reinvest it for profit once the market bottoms out.

The Democrats will walk. The Republicans will be hammered.

[HIDEK6]

As long as they get Long Tall Sally (Loeffler) I’ll be happy.

[glorgau]

Hang one or two as an example to the others...

Ever think this was a sting to get Feinstein based on her (husband) China connection? Loeffler’s husband is Pres of NYSE...she would know better. Not sure how Burr is involved...maybe he’s dirty too, maybe he’s part of the sting.

[FoxInSocks]

Nothing will happen to congress ever. We’ll all foot the bill into perpetuity while we sit quarantined in our houses in the shadow of what was once a mighty country full of principled fighters.

[Bob Ireland]

***CNN added that there is “no indication that any of the sales, including Burr’s, broke any laws or ran afoul of Senate rules.”

Anyone wanna bet a lunch nothing happens to Diane Frankenstein***

They write the laws. If they write a law that they can kick you out of your home and give it to their uncle then that is legal... One reason we call them carpetbaggers!

[Paladin2]

Burr is the wurst.

[fella]

Investigate their spouses and other relatives too, like Pelosi’s husband.

[GnuThere]

Oh, get right on top of that if there’s GOP involved.
Meanwhile, scum like Lois Lerner get amazing pension checks that will never stop.

[Pajamajan]

Republicans:- Guilty.

Democrats:-Not Guilty aand clean and pure and innocent. How dare you even accuse them. Don't you know they have to get back to the work of the American people? Cue the Star Spangled Banner and Fireworks...
