If this is proven, take the money he and others made off of this early intel and hang the sock-chuckers.

Section 3 of the Stock Act:
Requires the congressional ethics committees to issue interpretive guidance of the rules of each chamber, including rules on conflicts of interest and gifts, with respect to the prohibition against the use by Members of Congress and congressional employees (including legislative branch officers and employees), as a means for making a private profit, of any nonpublic information derived from their positions as Members or congressional employees, or gained from performance of the individual’s official responsibilities.
By being the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, he was privy to information concerning the spread of the coronavirus and the effect it would have on the market, foreign and domestic. Burr sold off his stock on February 13, right after assuring the other holders that the market was fine when he knew it wasn’t, with the appearance of trying to cash out before he lost money on the stocks he got rid of from the market dump. He violated the Stock Act.

Yeah let’s get Congress to change this....wait. Read my tag
One thing we can count on, about communism, is that the apparatchiks are always taken care of...
I don’t think so.
I think he’s wondering how many of our esteemed leaders screwed us.
And it’s a fair question.

You’re damn right.
Burr is a Dem Tool. After the Mueller Report showed a Hoax, Burr yanked Trump’s kids in for more hours of Perjury Traps.
Burr and Lindsey Graham do what the Senate Dems tell them.

The Senate will Protect Biden at all Costs.
They cancelled the Subpoena they were threatening.
Lindsey Graham slimed Guiliani’s Info without ever seeing it.
Remember, the Idiots that told us Biden would be Investigated after Impeachment?
.
If it ain’t illegal I couldn’t care less.
Burr was a spineless stupid man who let Mark Warner! run roughshod all over him in the Committee which Burr CHAIRED.
Weak, deceitful, thankfully he is retiring.
BINGO!!! WHAT do the DEMS HAVE ON BURR AND GRAHAM??? MAybe nothing other than they KNOW that Burr and Graham are OWNED BY THE DEMS!
By Feb. 13th what was coming was public knowledge to anyone paying attention.
WHY are liberals always able to obtain secret recordings of Republicans?
North Carolina has a rat Governor so simmer down, he can’t and isn’t going anywhere.
How do you prove he was “using information” and not just being cautious? Plenty of people thought the market was gonna crash.
And even if he “did” What the hell was he supposed to do, eat a huge loss? That’s like not removing a suitcase full of money from a house you know is wired to blow up, no rational person can not act on that info.
I’m sorry, insider trading laws are bullshit and I don’t see how they are constitutional.
And I’m not a hypocrite (on this!) if Nancy Pelsoi did the same thing I’d have the same reaction.
And no you can’t ban members of Congress from owning stock, this is America. MAYBE you can require total transparency so everyone can see if a Congressman dumps stock as soon as they do it.
You misunderstand me. I’m not giving him a pass. I want them all exposed.
Trump should publicly call him out. He is not a friend to the GOP.
Apologies
Tucker just said if Burr doesn’t have a good explanation, he should resign and be prosecuted
Man, you and I are on the same page that so many are not.
Yes, insider trading and the whole SEC is bullshit and unconstitutional. Nowhere does the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended give such sweeping power to the feds to regulate business in every conceivable facet.
The Left as usual has taken the Commerce Clause (meant to remove hindrances to interstate commerce), dumped the "Proper" part of the Necessary and Proper Clause, and turned the feds into a totalitarian government which is exactly what they are now.
We are one election away from the destruction of America as we know it. Everything is in place to do it. All you need is the Wrong Guy in the White House.
The greatest threat to our "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" is the 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government which MUST be disbanded if we are to recover our Free Constitutional Republic.
Burr has a big target painted on his chest, in hopes of replacing him with a Democrat.
Burr has already said he isn’t running again.
Sen. Kely Loeffler dumped stocks as well:

How can we review the stock transactions of Democrats?
This a public record?
