[Despite that though, I stated I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump, but that there was no way I could ever vote for her. I stated I couldn’t any situation in which I could vote for a democrat, if she were on the ballot, I wouldn’t vote for her. ]

These sales may be innocuous. A significant number of federal pols put their assets in blind trust. The reality is that some number of people are going to be selling throughout the year. There are gurus on Marketwatch and CNBC year-round saying the end is nigh. ProPublica is a Soros front organization. It’s known for selective omission (i.e. lying). My bet is that this was just run-of-the-mill selling triggered by the news cycle.

It’s not like the entire world thought this was a virus that was harmful primarily to ethnic Chinese. Heck - a substantial number of Freepers still suspects that they’re not releasing racial/ethnic stats because the truth is that most of the dead are Chinese, i.e. the hue and cry with quarantines are asylum grade hysteria.

Have any of the Senators defended their actions by saying the trades were ordered by a trustee of a blind trust? If that had been the case, it seems the “honorable” ones would have gotten ahead of the story by now. Trading on the basis of material nonpublic information can be a crime, and, absent evidence to the contrary, it looks like trading on the basis of material nonpublic information is what happened here. Of course, the Senators are entitled to a presumption of innocence, but, as public servants, they should be held to a high standard of conduct.
