Dirty GOP Senators + Feinstein

[Chizzang]

You look if you think a prosecutor should "arrest them immediately" before any investigation is completed, or indictments handed down. No prosecutor is that stupid.

At least stop and frisk them.

I’m tough on crime like that. Don’t know why you’re not.

Stop and frisk was targeting black folks...
These people are clearly white - so Ya lets have "due process" for them

A number of years ago I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that posed the question on what is the fastest/surest way to become a millionaire, outside of wining the lottery, and the articles conclusion was to be elected into national office. Representatives hit that threshold a bit slower than Senators but in either House, it didn't take longer than a term or two on average and they were there.

As Gannon alluded to earlier, this isn't news, they have been doing this for many, many decades. I guess it finally took a pandemic to bring it to the top of peoples radar, but the rules are already set. You can bet your bottom dollar that nothing will come of this as unless they were sloppy, they stayed in the grey area of the laws they wrote for themselves to follow.

I'm fine with them not being arrested or charged with anything - if there's not a law broken I don't want to bend something to try to charge them with something. But I want them drummed out of the Senate in disgrace if it's clear they knew information ahead of time and profited from it. Burr (living p to his name apparently) certainly did, and Feinstein and the Georgia senator likely did as well. They are a disgrace and should be held up as that, even absent a crime.

I agree and wish they would get drummed out on principle but they will not. Both sides cover for each other in areas like this, as both are profiting from it. A spotlight shown into one area would illuminate everybody.

There are "good" people in office just that they are very few and far between.

My thoughts on reform were pretty much on the wayside till the Trump fiasco started up and while I do not like the guy personally, he has shown a light on the cronyism that is going on just through him being his bumbling, inept self. Maybe reform can happen, but the public will have to want it and not become distracted by roadblocks "our" politicians will put up at every bend. It comes down to the people, and I have my doubts that enough people will care to see it through. The blame rests with those who keep voting people like Burr in, not the politicians themselves. They are the symptom of the disease, not the disease itself. As Thomas Jefferson stated: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.", and a majority of people can't be bothered to pay attention or think of the long term consequences of certain actions. It is all about the "quick hit" and feeling good in the moment, not what the long term results will be.

So did Feinstein. That bitch has been doing it for years. So has Pelosi.

Do you have any proof?

Not sure if this was answered, but have you heard of the "Pelosi Provision"?

Sandusky? You've lost it.

Good luck with that cancer and self isolation, Limbaugh.

OK, Sandusky. Will do.

He doesn't seem to have much luck with the ladies for sure, especially smart ones, but I don't know if that qualifies him as a closet case?

Feinstein ia a GOP Senator. Who knew?

If you look at her record on privacy rights and economics she might as well be one

Just like Hillary and the apparently-muzzled Joe Biden.

Shit can them all. Millions of Peoples’ life savings being wiped out and these fuckers profit from it.

They must not have considered religion, there's real money to made there, and it's tax-free. There is no scumbag like a scumbag preacher.


The scum also rises - Hunter S Thompson.

As I've said before, never trust good-looking women in politics.

Report: FBI serves search warrant on Sen. Richard Burr amid stock sale investigation

On Wednesday, federal agents seized a cellphone belonging to Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) as part of the Department of Justice's probe into stock trades Burr made in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, a law enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times.

The agents served a search warrant on Burr at his home in the Washington, D.C., area, the official said. Burr is chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and on Feb. 13, during a time when he was receiving daily briefings from health officials on the coronavirus outbreak, he sold a hefty percentage of his stock portfolio in 33 separate transactions. One week later, the stock market took a dive. Members of Congress are prohibited from trading on insider information collected as part of their work.

One of the first things they teach you in legal ethics is never to trade in a corporate client’s securities while you represent that client (and have access to material nonpublic information). Now extrapolate that basic principle to members of Congress. What were these azzholes thinking?

They weren't thinking. Unethical pricks. I hope the hammer comes down on Burr.

Maybe, maybe not. Could be that he just thought he could get away with it and his position would protect him.

I mean everybody else is doing it (Congress) why not me.....

The problem with political positions isn't humanity (generally speaking)
its that Political Positions attract the worst kinds of human characteristics

The average political figure suffers from Grandiose Entitlement Delusions
even the ones that get arrested or terminated still defend themselves from that psychological position

the defense will be handled pretty much like otters defense / starting at about 1:15 in
