Profiting From COVID-19 While Nurses Are In The Front Line

[Joe V]

While you are working in the front line ... while you are exposing yourself and your family to this threat ... there are people in the Gov't profiting from the crisis.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Richard Burr, N.C., is under fire for selling more than half a million dollars of stock the week before coronavirus tanked financial markets

Georgia GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler is also facing questions about unusually large stock sales right before the markets tumbled.

While nurses are fighting for more pay, better hours, improved patient-staff ratio, the people that have all the control in your life are profiting from this crisis. It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Independent, or Republican these acts should not be tolerated, accepted, or made the norm. They should step down and resign.

Let me be more clear...

They took action to improve their bottom line before saying anything to you...

Both Burr and Loeffler began attending non-public Senate briefings about the spread of coronavirus as far back as January.

This is so WRONG!

Nurses are in the front line taking the biggest hit during the crisis.

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!! ?

Am I the only one who feels this way? Is this OK with you?

BE MAD. BE VERY MAD.

This is not OK with Tucker Carlson...

After news broke Thursday evening that Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) sold off a significant share of stock just weeks before the market crashed because of the coronavirus pandemic, many horrified critics called for the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman to resign.

Perhaps the loudest among those detractors was “Fox News” host Tucker Carlson, who called on Burr to resign if he was unable to explain his actions.

Senators Accused Of Insider Trading, Dumping Stocks After Coronavirus Briefing

It mentions Diane Feinstein and Jim Inhofe both who sold stocks but were not in the private briefing as the above senators. There should be an investigation on ALL THESE PEOPLE.

Why are reporters lumping @SenFeinstein w/@KLoeffler &@SenatorBurr?

Sen. Feinstein investments have been in a blind trust for years. Reportedly, she only sold shares of one stock (not multiple, like the others did), and she did it on 02/18--the briefing wasn't until 02/24.; seems like a coincidence.

Her advisor sold a stock she’d held for three years at its 3-year low. It was a LOSS while Burr & Loeffler sold stocks at a PROFIT, before they tanked.

She gained nothing.

Feinstein and her husband, investment banker Richard Blum, sold shares in Allogene Therapeutics, a biotechnology company, according to her financial disclosures. They sold shares on Jan. 13 and Feb. 18. The stock subsequently rose in value, peaking in early March.
