Not that all three had prior knowledge of an impending collapse of the companies stocks they owned. No, it is more so about these truth seekers trying to take down innocent senators (republican and democratic) who are just trying to make a quick buck in these trying times

The justice department is hijacked..

We should be calling it something other than the “Justice Department” until we get a real president again.

We should be calling it something other than the “Justice Department” until they get the same punishment as us.

They sat on commitees that had direct knowledge about the medical companies and the virus. Fill the swamp so they fucking drown.
Predicto
No, Inhofe and Feinstein did not.

If American politicians weren't above the law we'd see Nuremberg Trials until there were almost none of them left.

Bill Barr is a piece of work
dogmoind
Hey! Bill Burr is hilarious! Oh, wait. You said "Barr".
AnnieBahde
I always love Randy Rainbow. https://youtu.be/etTXjK-S7RI

He's still under investigation. They dropped everyone else since no one else directed the trades in question.

You misspelled shit...

Hey leave Bill Burr alone
Helpusobi11
How dare they drop the investigation and not arrest people whom one wasn't even there for the breifing. CoRrUpTiOn!
MAup
IT IS OFFICIAL! CORRUPTION IS LEGAL
TigerThong
since trumps in office its been this way. really need to get a better electorate.
wongtonpoop
Tell me something new.
override367
That's literally why Bill Barr was picked...
Helpusobi11
If you read the actual article, you'd know that isnt true. One wasn't even there for the briefings and two of them don't handle thier stocks
VoxMortuis
Shhhhh, you'll upset the echo chamber.
Toofwess
When was the ever a question for this administration? I'm honestly asking if there was any point in the last 4 years where you doubted this
minipancho94
its been legal for a lot longer than that. this admin just made it obvious.
doyourownresearch
It made me realize that Obama invaded 7 countries
koops
I thought they were called presidential pardons.
Predicto
Two of them (Inhofe and Feinstein) didn't do anything wrong. Loeffler probably should not have been exonerated. Barr is still in trouble.
PenguinNamedWobbles
Shes been embezzling tax money through her husband for years. The high speed rail, the post office buildings. Should have been ? up already
Predicto
I mean Richard Burr - the most obvious one
convoygtr
The system works everybody. All is good if your rich and corrupt ?

They changed the laws to make it okay for them to act on knowledge gained through their positions for finical gain a long time ago.

Please read the actual article before commenting because the headline is very misleading and the top comments are just uneducated garbage.

https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00637512/1407720/sa/ALL/2 Read this, too. Scroll down to the $1,000,000 donation. /1
Mimsey
Then go look up who that person donating $1,000,000 to Trump's superPAC is married to. /2
Tremblefist
Not only that, look at the date the donation was made.

At this point, seems like all cards are "get out of jail" cards now.

I have an ace up my sleeve.
CthuluIsMyHomie
It sounds like Inhofe and Feinstein don’t make their own investments... hope someone checked communication records
root1657
I'm not sure having your spouse do it is proper separation...
CthuluIsMyHomie
I agree with you. Those two supposedly have a blind trust.
root1657
How blind is it if your spouse runs it?
CthuluIsMyHomie
It probably isn’t, thus why I said I agree with you, and the part of my original comment about checking communications
root1657
How you gonna check pillow talk?

Well, if he didn't it would set a dangerous precedent of accountability.

I knew about Corona long before they sold stock, anybody who is involved in financial markets did! Sorry, I know everybody wants heads!

I would've sold travel and hospitality stocks if I owned any

copperdomebodhi
Loeffler's constituents knew about COVID-19. They knew it was nothing to worry about. That's what she told them the same day she sold.
AncientSeraph
Anyone stupid enough to trade stock and not follow any news source should not trade stocks. There was months warning.
asslap
Yes, clearly a piece of shit, not insider trading.
azazyel
Didn't her husband donate $1M to the RNC?
Mimsey
https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00637512/1407720/sa/ALL/2 Yeah, Sprecher. The $1 million donation on 4/29.
dianecrumbley365
Of course he did. She’s trying to buy her senate seat with Trump’s endorsement. Many, many people in Georgia do not like her.
fizzlebuns
You've left off the very important fact that Richard Burr is still being investigated because Trump hates him. Loeffler donated $1m.
AncientSeraph
That's not a fact. Burr is still investigated is a fact. Trump hates Burr is educated guess. The link is conjecture.
Sandyundertones
She's also liked by Perdue who does a sufficient amount of ass kissing to keep Trump happy
faultysage
This narrative works so well so long as you ignore the fact that cases were dropped against Dems as well.
MakeItBackAlright
*Dem, and that was the weakest case by far.
faultysage
So.... the cases without evidence got dropped?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Two of the cases had blind trusts (the Dem and one of the Reps) so they got dropped. Not sure why the third did.
WherePoetryComesToDie
I don’t like Loeffler, but she’s worth $500m and the amount she traded was chump change for her. Burr’s trades equaled his entire net worth.
NoneOfThemKnew
Burr's case is also the most clear-cut. Even Loeffler, whose sales/purchases are highly dubious, had the wherewithal to use a blind trust.
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
If it really is a blind trust then by definition he cannot have had anything to do with it.
NoneOfThemKnew
Unless she had timely (and illegal) communications with the manager of the blind trust, and also possibly her husband. Hard to prove though.
TheyCanCome4You
Whaaaaatttttttttttttttttttt
zobPilot
How much did Fienstien donate. Pretty sure he hates her too
babycheesehead
I think she had a blind trust that is easily provable that she wasn’t involved
The2020ElectionWasStolen
Managed by jer husband?
drakewarnock
Yes.
angrytaco
Two of them had blind trusts and the cases were dropped. Idk about burr and the other
faultysage
Burr has admitted he directs his own trades.
angrytaco
Well the fuck him up
SJohnson23
This is whole point of a blind trust - so you can still have investments but can’t be accused of corruption.
angrytaco
You don't control where your investments go in a blind trust. It can't be corruption. Senators are still people who can make investments
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That's why Trump is supposed to have one. He doesn't, of course, because he's openly corrupt and his supporters don't care.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Does the blind trust count when your Husband runs it
drakewarnock
Yes.
wyatt8740
I don't really like whataboutism, but it's also worth noting that trump's blind trust is run by his kids.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
I wouldn't trust either with that
sdmitch16
I don't like whataboutism either but it's possible Trump decided not to pursue this case since he'd be condeming his own actions. Part 1/2
asianmilkspray
I guess if you make a couple hundred of millions from inside trading, you can afford to pay $1m in protection racket.
LollipopFromHell
Trump made the Swamp an even bigger one!
reineseele
No you got it all wrong. He drained the first one completely. Now he reswamps all of it so he can run for a second success story..i am sure.

Because he is orange shrek.

what does this have to do with trump
YeeticusOfTheTribeYeet
Shit rolls downhill.
MrXistentialCrisis
I mean, haven’t all of these senators been in power before Trump? Just seems like more of the same.
GroumphLePreux
Not at all, he drained it to make it more comfortable for his friends. Guy, it was stinky before ! Thank you pal ! Now send the billions !

Actual swamps have a function on this Earth.

redisthebeard
Never trust an Ogre to drain his own swamp
chrisNoodleStar
Nah. He just made the swamp into a bog.
Isaydumbchyt
For real, so much for draining it. He just tried to throw up smoke and mirrors, but ended up being a shitty magician.
Phischstaebchen
he had poor people in mind, ofcourse. Corona works slowly but.... and tidepods. desinfection injected.... all one plan.

what swamp? these are federally protected wetlands /s

That is an insult to swamps.

Drained it into an ocean. So corrupt that now the ocean is the swamp.
