The months-long investigation into allegations that Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina engaged in insider trading has been closed by the Justice Department and it will not pursue any charges, the GOP senator announced on Tuesday.
"Tonight, the Department of Justice informed me that it has concluded its review of my personal financial transactions conducted early last year. The case is now closed," Burr said in a statement.
The FBI launched a probe into Burr's business dealings after the senator, who served as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, privately warned a group of well-connected constituents in February to prepare for the coronavirus. He then sold off his own stocks in travel companies, which just weeks later would suffer decimating losses.

They are basically just taunting at this point.
Voila’
Where’s Raymond Burr when you need him?
Of course they do.
Of course they did.
A lack of a Trump immediate second term is a total loss of rule of law.
Yep. They are taunting us and trying to humiliate us right in our faces. It ain’t going to work thought
Though guilty as sin, he’s got powerful friends.
Members of Deep State are never punished.
The Uniparty at work. My friends, the whole damn government is corrupt.
North Carolina patriots need to protest (peacefully) outside his home nightly.
which just weeks later
It was always a BS charge. I read about this in January and thought we’d weather it with no problem. Plenty of people heard about it and thought it was a China-specific problem. That it was raising hell in China did not automatically mean that it would cause problems elsewhere. SARS took a toll in China and pretty much nowhere else. Heck, Ebola ran wild in parts of Africa and the stock market reaction was crickets.
I’m the opposite of a fan of this man. But the charge always seemed like a PR exercise in response to scurrilous Democratic charges more than anything else. It did have one important effect - give Collins plenty of ammo to seriously wound Loeffler in the primary and help Ossoff beat Loeffler handily in the runoff.

Two very weak candidates, in Georgia, of all places, and could not scrape enough support to beat the hippo and her cheating antics, while the gov and sos looked on.
They, the people who did not show up, deserve to be represented by two reprehensible louts such as osoff(where in the hell did he come from) and warnock (wtf are Georgians thinking?).
Why did you say "we'd weather it" ?
The charge? Or the Chy-na flu?
He had inside info like everyone in congress has inside info...and he acted on it! If we had done the same thing or if some one with a specific company had the info and we acted on it we would have both been in trouble! Sen and reps can do almost anything and are above the law that we citizens can’t do!
Classic definition of Tyranny.
The swamp is still there.
