How about when the report is disclosed to the public......you know, when the "other" shareholders of those companies are allowed to access that information. :nod: :roll:

You Conks go to great lengths to justify illegal and immoral behavior. ;) Thank god that Trump and the Chinese virus have exposed everyone for who they truly are. :thumb: :nod:
I asked questions and wondered what the solution would be. What's with the eye rolling?

The public disclosure is an option but company officials are not bound by that. And what happens if something leaks out before formally announced? Would that be considered "public disclosure"?
So full disclosure.....you are OK that the Senators did this?

I don't like it, but I'm not sure it's illegal and I'm not sure what can be done about it. No point in complaining unless there is a reasonable and executable solution.

The Stock Act of 2012

According to the current United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics, "A member, officer, or employee of the Senate shall not receive any compensation, nor shall he permit any compensation to accrue to his beneficial interest from any source, the receipt or accrual of which would occur by virtue of influence improperly exerted from his position as a member, officer, or employee."

Seems cut and dry but I’m sure their actions will continue to be defended.

When would they be allowed to sell? Is there a grace period like 3 days or 1 week? Can they short stocks?
What is the solution to this? Maybe it is disclosure like officers of public companies?
Probably should be like officers of public companies - they have to make known they are selling and they have to give advance notice. I don't see any reason why that shouldn't be the case.

As for this thread, it was 3 GOP Senators that we know of (Barr, Loeffler, and Inhofe - although Inhofe's sells were significantly lower than the other 3 Senators) and 1 Democratic Senator (Feinstein). I'm in favor of drumming out all 4 of them immediately from the Senate. In the case of Barr and Feinstein and Loeffler, these weren't small deals, these included millions of dollars and all three of them had significant advance notice of things to come. Resignations are the least they should do at this point.
Americans are very tolerant of crooks in the Federal government as long as they get something. November elections will prove that point. :nod:

Why just November? We've had ample proof of that over the past two plus centuries - we've proven that over and over again. These 4 Senators aren't really an aberration. And like I said 3 of the Senators (Barr, Loeffler, and Feinstein) were selling millions of dollars worth of stocks in advance of the markets collapsing. These folks are fabulously wealthy, and often because of the elected offices they hold, as compared to the regular folks they are supposed to be representing.

I don't see the cut and dry part. Burr is pointing to news sources at the time of his sale and he speculated correctly. There was no guarantee his move would work in his favor. Need more here I think. These Senators will likely skate.

You finally realize the real threat as a representative of the people.

Next step:

1). Sell stocks and reinvest some in crisis proof companies.

2). Wait a couple of weeks, denying the threat.

3). Change your tune and tell the public what’s actually going on.

These assholes don’t need defending, Flaggy.

It is one of the "perks" of being a senator or representative or hell just about any elected official. If you can't beat them, join them. :coffee:

Bingo. Burr is triply bad because:

1) He voted against the 2012 Law
2) He briefed rich donors on this while telling everyone not to worry about a thing


Loeffer is bad because
1) She is on a committee that oversees her husband's business
2) She sold then reinvested in a company that will likely expand because of this (teleworking)

DiFi is bad because she is DiFi and is a crook.
One difference is that the majority of Dems hate DiFi and tried to primary her last election. And are condemning her actions here.
