Justice Department investigates lawmakers who dumped stock
- oyebenny 7y agoI'm more concerned about whether they will actually do anything with this "investigation".
- whateveracct 7y agoMy guess is Trump holds potential charges over their head as leverage.
- thoughtstheseus 7y agoSeems like the trades were based on public info.
- whateveracct 7y agoWhat makes you say that?
- Supermancho 7y agoThe content of the article which details the facts of the cases.
- olliej 7y agoYes, they’re claiming everyone new about the risk of an epidemic (at this point half the news stations were saying it wouldn’t be a problem), and it was purely happenstance that led them to make millions in beneficial stock trades just after a national security briefing on coronavirus, and before numerous states had to start shutting down.
- Supermancho 7y ago> at this point half the news stations were saying it wouldn’t be a problem Half were. Online here we had discussion about how travel bans wouldn't work. Some companies, like mine, were already approving work-at-home until further notice. I was at home already and haven't left (for anything but supplies). > before numerous states had to start shutting down. That was decided by governors, not Congresscritters.
- quezzle 7y agoThey’ll be fine.
