Yeah, sure, this looks bad but, according to devout Mormon and pious asshole Orrin Hatch, you can make anything into a crime with today’s laws.
Underhanded greedy republican. How unusual.
Inhofe reportedly dumped the stocks after being contacted by the Daily Beast about the story.
Orrin Hatch would appear to have completely lost his s_it. Dementia? Ethics challenged? Old? All?
It seems like it would be much worse if he bought the stocks before pushing for Pentagon spending. As written, this is a story of little import.
He should invest in this instead of defense stocks.
Time to RICO the criminal organization known as the GOP (aka Grab Our’s Privately).
Grab our privates…fify
Hatch’s comment was despicable coming from the most senior US Senator. Unbelievable, really. I guess on the cusp of retirement he feels free to let his freak flag fly. I dunno, maybe he’s too demented to realize how horrible it makes him look.
I’m glad the old fool is on the way out.

I hope he lost a bundle in the recent downturn.
Since when is insider trading against the law for members of Congress? I’ve heard you can trade stocks from the White House lawn and still get re-elected.
This guy doesn’t have a snowballs’ chance in Congress to get punished…
He had shit at one time?
Are you ok, you look flush in the face? Sorry haven’t noticed you icon before!
For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world,
and suffer the loss of his own soul?
Pure distillate of GOP slime. Did he ever tell you about the time the smartest man in the world tried to land his plane on a closed runway?
It’s also just plain old bad optics, as Inhofe made the purchase soon after taking over the chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee upon the death of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
Really need to figure out how to test potential Republican candidate for optics deficiency. No wonder that Republican members of Congress have diminished the number of policy wonks on their staff and upped their PR staff.
Me? I would have thought he would have bought snowball futures.
Okie-Dokie
Insider trading. Lock him up. With a lot of brown and black people for cellmates.
