well it’s being reported by every major outlet but REPUBLICAN is in 400 point font while the rest is in 10 point.
Any D is in 2 point.
Then seize their congressional paychecks, and donate them to combating this virus, like good comrades, for the good of the State!
Blind trust. Riiiiggggghhhhttttttt.
This is going to fizzle. The Congress stock/fund sales did not precipitate movement of the market. Others were selling and buying at the same time. The world knew about the epidemic, and had heard projections of spread well past the time the market actually dived, one month later. This is the MSM trying to regain lost ground and attack the Republicans in Congress. They are calling out the amounts to incite envy and jealousy.

Sorry, but their money is in blind trusts. Lots of folks traded/sold stocks leading in to the “Great Dump”. Now then, if they communicated with their blind trust about what they just heard, that IS a crime.
Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, used more than 30 transactions to dump between $628,000 and $1.72 million on Feb. 13, according to ProPublica.
Optics not good. OTOH while this was happening, the Democrats were tying up the Senate with their impeachment hoax, and the journalism cartel was promoting that when the China virus was the real story.Tucker Carlson recently showed a clip of himself promoting the virus story back then, so no journalist can plead ignorance of what the whole Fox News audience had been exposed to.
These four profiteers of doom and misery should resign.
Burr and Inhofe must do so Immediately.
Feinstein and Loeffler have slim, bs excuses, but whatever,
I’ll give them a brief hearing.
But Burr and Inhofe, if they are not gone by this evening, they are really risking their safety.
Selling your biotech therapeutic stock going into a pandemic?
DiFi is an idiot.
Think about what kind of people would be drawn like a magnet to the magnitude of power concentrated in a place like Washington. These are the people who run the federal government.
Politicians taking privy info and cashing in to have mad money when they fill their seats on the get-out-while-the gettins-good helicopters. Not surprising.
I’m certain this is just a coincidence.
They knew the plan: Crash the economy using gaslighting of the sheeple to think this is a crisis and then implement communism by complete control of the people and a takeover of their businesses.
Phase 1 was gaslighting the sheeple into thinking they will die without government intervention.
Phase 2 is control the people and shutdown their businesses.
Phase 3 is government providing payment for business rents and payroll.
Phase 4 is the government simply stating that since the government already pays for everything that the government now owns the businesses.
Communism complete: Total control of the sheeple and a complete takeover of commerce.
Feinstein just may be the ringleader in all the insider trading. Many, many moons ago Feinstein lost chairmanship on a committee after she was found to be funneling millions and millions of government contracts to her husband’s businesses. The incredible joke of it all was that she continued on the same committee. DemocRATs believe this is how all persons of wealth obtain it. Not by immense dedication, hard work, hours and hours every day. No, they, and some very weak Republicans join and use government to game the system. Creepozoids All.
If it is revealed they sold stocks before the dissemination of virus Intel to the public and they indeed had prior knowledge that gave an unfair advantage...they should be charged with insider trading, thrown out of office and face a jury just like the rest of us.
Strange, I know.....
This is a typical narrative being pushed so that the DUmocrats retain Congress. They’re always pushing the “inequality” class-warfare type of stories. Until Hitlery’s “cattle futures” are investigated, it’s a non-issue.
i am thinking of getting 100% out of the stock market tomorrow.
if it is good enough for 4 senators, it is good enough for me. i only wish i had not been taken in by patriotic zeal and greed earlier this month.
by getting 100% out of stocks i can still protect some of my capital.
staying in seems like risking a substantial bit more.
under the circumstances, i would like to see all senators and representatives donate all of their stocks and 2020 windfall stock profits to the US treasury, immediately.
and by circumstances i mean that we are being lied to by the government and health agencies right now, even as i type this. after everything that has happened in the last few weeks, if we are being lied to now, then we are nowhere near the bottom, and we should all take maximum precautions.
