Watchdog Group Files Ethics Complaint Against Senator Blumenthal over Stock Trades

CT: Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is facing an ethics complaint related to stock trading filed by a nonpartisan watchdog group.

The organization, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), urged the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to investigate the Connecticut lawmaker for failing to disclose multiple stock transactions.

According to the complaint, Blumenthal and his wife purchased stock on the popular app Robinhood. At the same time, he urged Congress to investigate the platform for its trading practice.

“In the last quarter of 2021, Blumenthal’s wife sold between $1,265,000 and $2,550,000 shares of Robinhood stock through her family fund. As part of those trades, Blumenthal’s family sold up to $550,000 of Robinhood shares on Dec. 8, 2021, but did not disclose it until February 2, 2022 — after the reporting deadline,” the complaint explains.

Lawmakers who have made questionable stock trades have faced criticism from both sides of the political aisle, especially throughout the coronavirus pandemic. more

  2. From DaNang Dick(head) to the people of Connecticut:
    Yes…I blatantly lied to you…I surely did.
    But…all of you are too stupid to care, so vote for me anyway. Honesty is irrelevant.

  3. Yeah, he’s our boy here in Corupticut! Saying Blumenthal and ethics in the same sentence is like peeing in your own coffee cup and drinking it.
    He proves over and over again that you can suck enough.

    > The Senate Select Committee on Ethics, like other ethics committees, is where ethics complaints go to die. A watchdog group should already know that.

    Of course, people that smaht DON’T KNOW!
