A law enforcement agency can't investigate unless there is reason to believe a particular law was broken. Congress could though.

- will_brown 8y agoWell I don’t think it’s to difficult to pursue the same charges against Sheryl Sandburg that landed Martha Stewart in jail. Many falsely believe Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading but she actually went to jail for claiming she would be found innocent of the insider trading charges which the prosecution alleged she did for the sole purpose of manipulating the actual Martha Stewart Inc stock price, which would have tanked otherwise. 1st amendment rights to publicly claim her innocence offered her no protection. Here we have facts that Sheryl Sandberg publicly posted on FB that FB didn’t hire the PR Firm and much less hire a PR Firm to publicly attack Soros. With the release of these new facts, Sheryl Sandburg admitted in fact she did get memos and emails about FB hiring the Firm (and I believe the purpose). So one must ask why the initial public lie? Did Sandberg know or have reason to know:think if the truth came out FB stock may have dipped? I’d say yes and if they can make the case against Martha Stewart that was the case with her public statement of innocence for unrelated insider trading charges, then a case could be made here, that Sandberg knowingly lied about FB hiring this PR Firm because admitting the same would have hurt FBs stock price.
