Well….Except for Senator Burr, RINO-North Carolina, that is.
I think the only people who feel bad for him are Mark Warner and Adam Schiff.
MSN: The DOJ is closing its insider trading inquiries into 3 senators but is still investigating GOP Sen. Richard Burr.
The Justice Department is closing its insider-trading investigation into three US senators but will continue probing a series of stock trades that Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina made, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported Tuesday.
According to the reports, DOJ prosecutors told defence attorneys for Sens. Kelly Loeffler, Jim Inhoffe, and Dianne Feinstein that they did not find sufficient evidence showing that the lawmakers violated the law while making in a series of stock transactions in the early days of the coronavirus outbreak.
All three lawmakers, as well as Burr, made their stock trades in January and February, while Congress was being briefed on the threat of the coronavirus. The stock market began plunging shortly after as a result of the outbreak.
Burr, meanwhile, appears to still be under scrutiny. Last week, he stepped down as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee after it surfaced that the FBI had seized a cell phone belonging to him.
“Senator Burr contacted me this morning to inform me of his decision to step aside as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee during the pendency of the investigation,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement. “We agreed that this decision would be in the best interests of the committee and will be effective at the end of the day tomorrow.”
In a Thursday statement, Burr confirmed that he would step away from chairing the committee “until this investigation is resolved,” saying, “The work the Intelligence Committee and its members do is too important to risk hindering in any way. I believe this step is necessary to allow the Committee to continue its essential work free of external distractions.”
The senator unloaded up to $US1.72 million in stocks on February 13, days after reassuring the public that the Trump administration was well prepared to handle the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. read more
B. S.
So the swamp is still in full operational mode – no change yet.
Disgusting and treasonous.
Just so you know, the 4 major political parties in canuckistan have applied for federal assistance money meant for ailing businesses.
Their political donors are not donating so now they need direct money from the government As of today, the only party that has not is the separatist party of Quebec.
This is not a Turdeau thing, they are all at the trough.
No politician, anywhere, should get a dollar unitil they let us work openly.
I know why Sen. Burr is being investigated. He had a conversation with his bro and they both sold stock at the same time. That’s why they took his phone and stuff, I assume.
Sen. Fluffer (whatever her name is) went straight to the ‘appropriate’ agencies from the very beginning to discuss what happened with her sales of the stocks. So she got a pass.
Feinstein, I don’t know. I just assume she’s guilty and got away with it because she’s Feinstein.
You or I would be going to prison, of course.
Bet the investigators and their higher ups got some good trading tips before calling it quits. Bastards!
Once again, another reason to hate these entitled, self-important scumbags.
Hey DiFi, still got a ChiCom spy on your staff?
AG Barr-Boehner went back to sleep.
You cam; t expect the law to be enforced, NN has to have time for hisresident’s track record bagpipes. Another poor AG choice! Let some one else select AG, the POTUS has a bad track record on this.
…..And the clock announcing the next revolution continues to tick down, ensuring NOT a gradual rise of resistance but an explosive backlash.
He’s the nasty RINO sellout that played patsy with the Dems.
I hope they burn him good.
They all do this insider trading so I wonder what he did to make the swamp go after one of their own?
These lockdowns are terrible!
Now I missed the dozens, and dozens (was it hundreds, and hundreds?) of disgraced, pension stripped, huddled in general population, federal “law enforcement” house cleanings.
To think! Only a few years ago, creating a process “crime”, just because you “knew” “they” were dirty, was a “thing”.
Now? All gone. And I missed it.
It tick’s me off, our tax dollars pay for the salaries of these politicians, who constantly break law’s, and never see a jail cell.
What world are we living in?
Sure glad Martha Stewart wasn’t locked up for doing the same thing; that would be SO hypocritical…
Laws for thee, but not for me as usual. Strategic Air Command needs to have an “accidental” weapons release over DC.
