Dianne Feinstein, 3 Senate colleagues sold off stocks before coronavirus crash: reports
Fox News ^ | March 20, 2020 | Dom Calicchio

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and three of her Senate colleagues sold off stocks worth millions of dollars in the days before the coronavirus outbreak crashed the market, according to reports. The data is listed on a U.S. Senate website containing financial disclosures from Senate members. Feinstein, who serves as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and her husband sold between $1.5 million and $6 million in stock in California biotech company Allogene Therapeutics, between Jan. 31 and Feb. 18, The New York Times reported. When questioned by the newspaper, a spokesman for the Democrat from San Francisco said Feinstein wasn’t directly involved in the sale. “All of Senator Feinstein’s assets are in a blind trust,” the spokesman, Tom Mentzer, told the Times. “She has no involvement in her husband’s financial decisions.” Reports identified the three other senators as Richard Burr of North Carolina, Kelly Loeffler of Georgia and James Inhofe of Oklahoma, all Republicans.

Criminals Feinstein and Burr, Intell Committee. And Loeffler. I’ll bet Burr is in bed with her and therefore the tip off. Hey, Mrs Burr, check it out and cost Burr a hellova lot more than the $1M he saved

The Rats will settle for Burr and Feinstein resigning and respective Govs appointing Rat replacements. And CA gets a rabid mad dog Communist in the process, NC flips a seat

Dianne Feinstein was not mentioned in the NPR story on this.

NPR is run by democrats and, like the mainstream media, protects democrats.

Oh, don’t worry, we’ll find that many, many more members of Congress did the very same thing.

The trust is blind but not deaf. She is immune from insider trading laws because she is in a protected class as a member of Congress. Senators benefit from this otherwise unlawful scheme. She could still whisper in the ear of her trust manager to gain from our pain if she was pre-warned. Besides, it has been proven many times that she is fully wired in to the ChiComs. While she was busy with impeachment, she was likely aware if the out of control virus in China. These people are sick, and now we are, too.

Phony outrage going on here. Everyone I worked with sold a ton of stock in same timeframes. Maybe they have good brokers.

We’re they supposed to hold on to plummeting stock and lose money?

Democrats joining this outrage machine will need to explain Biden and his son and brothers making millions thru our government.

I guess there will be many upcoming retirements now that the nest egg is secure.

Go to Congress poor, leave rich. That’s how it works.

“Partner, you are corect in saying that U.S. Senators are immune to this kind of behavior since this is how they get so filthy rich.”

This is the old fashion way. Now they just get kickbacks from foreign govts, the money is better.

All these swamp creatures are allowed to conduct insider trading, IIRC. Being legally allowed to do it doesn’t make it morally OK.

Maybe they all listen to Hal Turner. He was telling people to get out of the market and buy TP in January.

The swamp is dark and deep. These hacks need to be punished and removed from office. The enrichment of elected officials is open corruption.

“She has no involvement in her husband’s financial decisions.”

B$LLSH@T!!!

As a MARRIED Couple you are BOTH EQUALLY CULPABLE FOR ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS, Including INSIDER TRADING AND FRAUD.

LOCK HER UP!!

“I thought Congress had immunity from insider trading?”

There is that, and it is not like there was no awareness and nobody ringing the bell about Covid19 before they sold.

was insider information used to make selling decision? I don’t think so. The transaction (in Burr’s case) was mid-February and anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear knew trouble was brewing.

That’s because NPR are a bunch of liberal $hitstains.

They’ll only try to damage Republicans.

FOX Radio news mentioned Feinstein.

Well, we’ll know when the S is about to HTF because all the people in congress will flee to their “Armageddon locations”, to spare their sorry asses because they know that they and the media are at the top of the lists.
