Four senators sold stocks before coronavirus threat crashed market

[JoeB131]

And you're surprised by this?

That Republicans act in a criminal manner? Why shouldn't they, you've said you'll support them as long as they hate gays and Mexicans, just like Jesus did. And Guns. Lots of guns.

Not just Repubs it seems...

Senator Richard Burr Warned Of Coronavirus Effects In Private Meeting - Intelligence Chairman Raised Virus Alarms Weeks Ago, Secret Recording Shows

So, Burr let the fat cats know what was coming while the rest of us were being treated like mushrooms...kept in the dark and fed bullshit.

Are you telling us that all the democrat senators were totally in the dark about this virus and only Burr knew what was really going on?

Did Burr make any public appearances on Fox News or any other media outlet in that timeframe?

If he was communicating a different message to the public, that would be one thing.

Burr spoke to his big donors on February 27. Just two days before I started this topic: Brace Yourselves For Another Stock Market Dive On Monday

I had the same knowledge as was available to the rest of the public. So I would not go so far as to say Burr was committing "insider trading".

But if he was telling the public not to worry while telling his donors shit was about to hit the fan, then he should be recalled.

This doesn't in any way convey the dire message he told his fat cat constituents about. The SEC should be giving him a visit. But he's a Repub, and the Trump admin is lawless, so nothing is certain.

I'm saying they all had information that we didn't have.

Burr decided to capitalize.

For the record, if Senators of ANY party used insider info to enrich themselves, they should be prosecuted.

Senator Dumped Up to $1.7 Million of Stock After Reassuring Public About Coronavirus Preparedness — ProPublica


"Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $628,000 and $1.72 million of his holdings on Feb. 13 in 33 separate transactions. A week after Burr’s sales, the stock market began a sharp decline and has lost about 30% since --- According to the NPR report, Burr told attendees of the luncheon held at the Capitol Hill Club: “There’s one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history ... It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."

Now the Dems are totally triggered that Burr used his financial genius to see this pandemic coming and took decisive action to protect his assets -- sure he was telling the public that everything is fine and much like Trump -- downplaying the seriousness of the upcoming negative impact it would have on the economy -- but it isn't his fault you suckers believed him....if you were part of the well-connected donor class, you would have been privy to what was really happening -- and not the BS they feed to the peasants in the public...

Even Tucker Carlson is betraying his country by calling out Burr and demanding that he resign and face criminal charges for insider trading on his own show -- what the fuck Tuck?? What are you? Some Lib fascist traitor?

"[Burr] dumped his shares in hotel stocks so he wouldn’t lose money and then he stayed silent." Carlson added if there’s an honest explanation for Burr’s actions, he should explain himself. “Otherwise, he must resign from the Senate and face prosecution for insider trading,” he told his audience. “There is no greater moral crime than betraying your country in a time of crisis.”

Tucker Carlson calls on Burr to explain reported $1.6M stock sale or resign

However, the one mistake Barr did make was telling his donors that this coronavirus was like the Spanish flu epidemic instead of saying it was like the H1N1 virus...the spanish flu was the worst epidemic in modern history, much more worse than Obama's virus -- it's harder to blame Obama for this thing if you say its like the Spanish flu...Obama wasn't even alive then....or was he...

Uh-huh sure. How can her own husband be a “blind trust”?

Will lefties demand her resignation?

Yes she should resign...especially if she was urging everyone that this virus was a hoax and nothing to be worried about...

But only a total moron would be claiming this virus was a hoax made up by the Democrats...oh wait!

"Every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to alter your travel. You may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to Europe is essential or whether it can be done on video conference. Why risk it?" Burr said.

It was already being reported publicly it was becoming a major problem in parts of Europe.
Yeah, real insider trading tips.

February 27 coronavirus news - CNN

Trump February 26: “Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. … When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

Trump February 28: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

Look at what Burr said. It was a problem in Europe. Geesh. -Think about your travel.- He mentioned nothing about the US in that statement.

He said it was going to be more akin to the 1918 pandemic...did the public have the information at that time?

Yeah, you have on public servant saying in private it was going to be as bad as the 1918 pandemic.

You have another public servant saying in public that it would all be over in a few days.

Why did our politicians put the party line above the health and well-being of the public?

This is the same senator Feinstein with communist chinese spy as her driver for years

Please find the lie....

You can't go from claiming this virus is nothing and will go away magically --- you can't go from claiming there are only 15 cases and that will go down to zero in the next few days -- then the very next week declare it a global pandemic unless you were fucking lying....

and I give zero fucks about your juvenille "Don't talk about my daddy" complex....History will judge you morons like it did when you were bush sycophants...

As Senators were briefed on the potential Coronavirus threat all of them realized it could be bad for the nation and the economy. Surprising no one some of these Senators decided to protect themselves first.

Richard Burr, some other senators sold lots of stock as virus fears started

These were just the first names. Republicans and Democrats apparently called their Stock Brokers and issued Sell orders on their holdings. Loeffler claims her portfolio is managed by third party advisors. Anyone willing to bet they did not get a phone call?

Democrats and Republicans did exactly the same thing. They protected themselves first. So think about that the next time you argue that the other side is corrupt. Both are. And as long as you pretend that it only afflicts the others you will continue to enable the corrupt on your side. Libs and Conservatives need to take note. Both parties are so full of shit they could fertilize every farm and garden in the country.
