Just another coincidence for her.

I would like to see some info on Pelosi's backroom matters.

Now you know how these people all become millionaires. They are mostly all long term scumbags.

And why they fight so hard in campaigns to keep those jobs!

This would be the biggest tell.

Reality is, a lot of very smart investors began selling about that time period. Some earlier, some later. The investors the subject people of this thread have is also a tell regarding whom else they sold for.

Nah, that is far too logical. Besides, if they aren’t guilty of this, they must be guilty of something. Boil that tar!

Isn't that exactly what Martha Stewart went to jail for?

My understanding is that Stewart was provably guilty of insider trading, but she negotiated a guilty plea for lying to investigators (although she was not under oath at the time, and was not read her rights). Either way she was going to jail, this way was more efficient for both sides.

Yes, let them respond to the allegations against them. And then assume they will always tell the truth?

Hillary claimed a couple of weeks ago she is the most accused innocent person ever. I believe her. (Actually, I know a number of people in CA who really do believe Hillary has never broken any rules or laws involving politics).

So I just saw Cuomo cover this story on CNN. There was NO MENTION of Diane Feinstein. And they wonder why people think CNN is biased.

Hannity said Diane Feinstein and 3 Republicans without naming the Republicans.

Not defending CNN, but Hannity and most other FOX hosts are boring me with their continuous hmmmm...
Charles Payne and Shannon Bream are about the only news host I can listen to for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Thread title needs to add Feinstein’s name.

Don't you know? These people are Leets and as such are untouchable.

I don't like Feinstein at all. I believe she is incompetent at best, or more likely a sell-out to foreign interests (Remember the Chinese "driver/go-fer"?) and I don't know much about the other three, but I think we should put down the pitchforks just for the moment.

If I read the article correctly, only a portion of what is a broadly-invested portfolio was sold. If anyone with a high net worth, and Loeffler was one of those people before she ran for office, doesn't hire highly adept investment advisors to watch trends all day, every day, then they are not very smart people.

There may be illegal activity with any or all four of these people, but they are innocent until proven guilty, even if we don't like them.

If these Senators do have investments in blind trusts managed by 3rd parties, as Loeffler states, then I would expect that someone would have to produce communications like texts, emails, phone records, etc to prove that something they did was wrong.

In fairness, he did say "3 Republicans". And Feinstein is one of the 2-3 most powerful Democrats in the Senate. And possibly the most infamous.

But I also agree with you on Bream and Payne. And I would add Bret Baier and Bill Hemmer to that list.

There is a nice mix of insider trading and having so much money you pay someone to manage it for you.

If you pay a broker a percentage of your money they will do everything in your best interest which is also in their best interest.

I agree. But the old adage, justice is a "process", not always an "end result". Seems increasingly politicians can be grossly guilty of illegalities, but somehow the system gives the a pass.

Did you mean to say, “Let them respond to the allegations against them, then hang them”?

Sadly, the truth is that if they have any significant amount of money, they ought to be using someone smart enough to move to a defensive position early, as TigerDore pointed out. While it might feel good in the short term to string them up, that old “Innocent until proven guilty” apporoach really does have its benefits...

I wonder if they truly believe that, or just think that because the end justifies the means, no Dim can do wrong?

I cannot wait until that woman is no longer mentioned.

Insider trading happens. People are corrupt.

What gets me on top of it is that it seems that their first priority upon hearing privileged info was to protect their riches rather than the populace they have a duty to protect.
