Richard Burr Asks Senate Ethics Committee To Investigate His Dodgy Stock DumpingForgot to highlight this: the stocks he dumped were hotel/hospitality ones, the first ones that would be shellacked during a pandemic panic. Burr claims he knew to dump the stocks only because he was a CNBC SuperFan, and not because he got a classified briefing. "I relied solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the sale of stocks on February 13," he said in a statement. "Specifically, I closely followed CNBC's daily health and science reporting out of its Asia bureaus at the time. Burr didn't just dump his own stocks that would be adversely affected by a viral panic -- he also warned well-connected cronies. "There's one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history," he said, according to a secret recording of the remarks obtained by NPR. "It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic." Three other Senators are said to have dumped stocks during this same period: Dianne Feinstein (gee why didn't ProPublica mention her?), James Inhofe, and Kelly Loeffler. However, all three claim that their assets are in blind trust, meaning they're managed by a third party who does not communicate to them what exactly is in the trust or what is being traded. I suppose it might be possible to give a Heads Up to someone managing your trust to dump stocks, but that would be a bit dicey, because they might squeal, and anyway, you'd need proof that something like that occurred. I think Burr is counting on the idea that many Senators trade on insider information and so he's daring them: "If you convict me, you also convict yourselves." Well, I wouldn't mind seeing a whole bunch of them convict themselves, but maybe his attempt at soft coercion will work. A friend writes, "You know, it's Trump that everyone suspected would be the scumbag businessman caught in a dirty deal, but nope, it's a member of the Republican Old Guard and a prized Deep State Asset." Tucker Carlson called for Burr to resign immediately if he cannot adequately explain his stock maneuverings. If you want to know why some of us are very keen to get this Deep State Agent-in-Place out of any position of power, read Mollie Hemingway. She herself is not calling for him to resign, but she does demand that the GOP strip Burr of his precious committee assignments and leadership duties. [I]t is long past time for Burr to step aside as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Trump, who's a big slow in the update a lot of the time, just said that he finds that Feinstein and Burr are "very honorable people." Okay. Read the whole thing. That goes for you too, Trump. Burr is a Bad Actor and another one of the Controlled Opposition "Republicans" who has actually always been in the employ of the dominant Deep State/Democrat establishment. If he's guilty of insider trading as well-- well that's just icing on the cake. Burr should step down so he can spend more time with his Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theories.
486 Richard Burr is perhaps the c**kiest senator this side of Willard. He brings absolutely nothing to the conservative table. He provided NO support for Trump during the Russia hoax nonsense, instead constantly deferring to the Democrat minority. It's been obvious that he is a card-carrying member of the Deep State, running interference for them on many occasions (including the Russia hoax). Why Burr is chair of a major GOP committee is unfathomable, perhaps the surest sign that McConnell is NeverTrump.
