These people, if guilty, deserve severe and public punishment. And that gal in GA who says only her advisers make moves, but they sold airline and energy stocks and bought stocks in companies that sell technology to people that work from home. Gimme a break.

They prob. looked at Feinstein and the other 3 also. What exactly did Feinstein do though? The woman in GA's case can easily be defended against if there is no contact between her and her broker. Plus Burr is the only one who got secret briefings. I think Burr was one of only a few Sen. to vote on a law baring Sen? from owning or buying/selling stocks.

'What exactly did Feinstein do though?'
The same thing Burr did, probably.
"Plus Burr is the only one who got secret briefings."
Wasn't it everyone on that specific committee? And senators don't talk to each other?
The republican woman in GA, if she really had no contact and her advisers dumped airlines and energy and bought CITRIX, they are the greatest stockpickers in the history of the world. Contact is as easy to hide, as telling a staffer to tell someone else to contact the broker. Her husband is/was the president of the New York Stock Exchange. |

I've told you a # of times, Feinstein didn't make the sale (1), her husband did. He (she) is one of the richest Sen. and what they sold is a tiny % of their wealth compared to Burr's sales/wealth. |

And it's not possible, that she told him to do it. Burr's brother sold stock, most people take that as evidence of guilt.
Martha Stewart went to prison for practically pennies. The uber wealthy can be funny with their money. |

The point is that Burr sold a larger share of his holdings after receiving a confidential briefing that the other Sen. did not receive. Feinstein's husband sold the 1 stock, not her. He made his wealth founding/owning an investment company. Burr's sales all were perfect.
And that is why politicians of both parties called out Burr but not the other 3 - even while mentioning them. The others all have believable stories - burr not so much. |

Feinstien's spokesperson said that she was already questioned by the FBI. We'll see what comes of all this.... |
