A Georgia senator has become the second lawmaker to have reportedly dumped millions in stock just weeks before the coronavirus pandemic as she was getting coronavirus warnings. According to The Daily Beast, Sen Kelly Loeffler and her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, reportedly sold $3.1million in stock with the first sale in the company Resideo Technologies worth between $50,001 and $100,000 on January 24. That same day Loeffler's committee, the Senate Health Committee hosted a private, all senators briefing with administration officials, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director and Anthony Fauci.

And nothing whatsoever will be done about it. Senators are free to break whatever laws they want, apparently.

After very publicly removing their exemption from insider trading laws, congress quietly put the exemption back several years ago. You would go to jail for this, but they can do it with impunity.

They profited from insider trading. Period. It's illegal everywhere except in Congress who always has the insider information. Sprecher isn't in Congress so how did he get away with it? Let's have some FBI investigations and prosecutions or are they too busy making up republican charges again.

Congressional insider trading misbehavior has gone on far too long. Insider Trading penalties should be far more severe for members of congress and their staffs than the average bear. How much info was spread by her hubby among friends? If she doesn't resign she should be impeached and her hubby investigated until attorney fees eat up any possible benefit they received. That's what they do to us regular people.

IIRC, Congress exempted itself from the insider-trading laws. This has been known and criticized for some time. Shame to see "Republicans" behaving dishonorably and at the expense of their constituents, who did not have their secret knowledge.

Looking at the new drug regimen she may have been to soon,the stock will probably start taking off in a few weeks.
She needs to go to jail like Congressman Collins of NY.

These corrupt [expletive deleted] will cost us control of the Senate. The Dems (like Feinstein) will get reelected because their voters don't know or care, but Republicans will care in spades and either stay home or vote third party as a protest.

So Burr and Loeffler must resign immediately, but Feinstein is ok. That's perfectly democratic. Collins was going to win the Senate seat over Loeffler in GA anyway........this will make it a cakewalk.

Loeffler and Feinstein have their funds in blind trusts -- in Loeffler's case, her transactions are made by third parties. She didn't even stocks were sold until three weeks after the fact when trust submitted the transaction report to the Senate Ethics committee. Richard Burr's case, on the other hand, looks a bit more suspicious.

I'm a NC resident who has voted for Burr. If this is proven to be insider trading...he's proven to be no better than the asshats on the other side of aisle. Throw him out.

Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, if I remember correctly, also had Ukrainian connections. Given all of this corruption etc, I am led to one belief: this swamp is so infiltrated it stinks to high heaven. . .

Politicians are never held to account for their crimes. All the talk and bluster from POTUS and DOJ is just to keep everyone entertained while nothing happens. Meanwhile, my retirement investments have been set back ten years. Yeah. Winning. I'm not tired of it, I'm still waiting for it.

Illegal for you and me, apparently legal for Senators. "Do you know who I am?" applies.
