The Department of Justice has begun investigating stock transactions lawmakers had made after a series of closed-door briefings on the imminent COVID-19 outbreak, which dealt a major blow to the stock market before the meetings.
Don’t be shocked if Coverup Barr will “disappear or drop” Burr’s investigation!
Meanwhile…Burr, the Devin Nunes of the Senate (See Mueller Report) needs to be made accountable! While so many “Vulture Capitalists” are coning out of the woodworks right now…
Profiting While in Office is UNLAWFUL and so is insider trading…just ask Martha Stewart…to do so in times of adversity is really NOT the trait or action of a US senate legislator(s) that we would want to see…except probably for the Greed Over People Party voting base who are cheering for his Pro-Profit Anti-People action!
Barr will be expanding the investigation to looks at polling what exactly did Biden know and when did he know it for these stock trades.
Since ttump doesn’t like Burr, the investigation might turn out to be “fair” and lead to his resignation (and Loeffler’s, cuz Collins is a more loyal sucker). Then he could claim he “drains the swamp”. Promise kept! MAGA! KAG!
P.S. NC governor (D) has to appoint a rethug to Burr’s seat should he resign, so for rethugs there’s little to lose if Burr and Loeffler both resign. While the two of them certainly have some powerful associates, if they become too hot to keep, they’ll be kicked out.
Will we have something like the Nuremberg trails when this administration surrenders.
Just in time to blame only Democrats who sold shares from blind trusts, and proclaim all Republicans innocent.
We really are at the end of America - when they have gone this far, why not go the whole way?
Glad I moved.
And we’ll they should…investigate, I mean. But this is AG Barr we’re talking about. Somehow, I suspect this may go nowhere.
O/T, but where the hell are Biden/Bernie and the DNC during all of this? Could we get a nightly video conference which discusses reality and calls out this bullshit. Sorry for complaining, but I think I’ve never missed Jon Stewart more than I do right now.
Methinks the investigation is yet another mask to deflect from the man and his family who have been playing the market like a fiddle since 1/20/2017.
If Barr is investigating Burr, who is investigating Barr?
Doing what’s best-- not getting in the way. I don’t think there’s a lot either of them could do to make this situation better. They might just make things worse though by distracting us and angering Trump even more. As bad as Trump is handling this situation, he can always do worse. There is no bottom to how bad Trump can get so we shouldn’t go looking for one.
You can always check in on their respective web sites, twitter feeds, FB and the Goog.
Trump GOP henchman Barr’s “investigation” will be a sham. It exists to validate the illegal stock sales. He won’t lift a finger to properly prosecute these crooks.
Until Burr resigns, there’s no way for Gov. Cooper to challenge the constitutionality of that law. You’d better believe that challenge is in his top drawer and ready to go the second Burr steps off that platform.
And by the way, fuck the republicans!
Time for new laws to be enacted such that Senators and House members may only own index mutual funds…
It is about time that they shared the risk that we all have to…
If he takes it to court, it’ll be a long process. And who could be confident the court wouldn’t side with rethugs? State rights (when it suits rethugs)!!!
And who will investigate Barr?
They’ve already booked the facilities for the "Trump Pandemic Tribunals.
