Sick Pay!

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and four Senators were caught doing insider trading during the pandemic.
A handful of U.S. Senators cashed in before the pandemic. This earned criticism and also a federal probe into "insider trading."

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is facing controversy over the allegations. He along with Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) were making a profit off the pain and suffering of millions of Americans who may diagnosed with the coronavirus.

The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee sold off between $500,000 to $2 million in his stock holding as he was getting word of the coronavirus spreading into facilities like casinos, hotels, schools, hospitals. Burr had stock in the hospitality industry.
Newly sworn Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) was caught in this scandal.
Burr told donors and allies that he sees massive problems ahead.

Loeffler, the newly appointed Georgia senator found herself already in a hot mess. It's only three months in as the junior senator.

Loeffler and her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange reportedly sold off $3.1 million in stock with the first sale in the company Resideo Technologies worth an estimated $50,000 and S100,000 on January 24.

The 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 Dr. Anthony Fauci, the world renowned disease expert.

The Daily Beast said that Loeffler made a total of 29 stock transactions through mid-February.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)  was involved in insider trading.
ProPublica reported that on February 13, Burr sold stock holdings in 29 separate transactions.

Burr dumped $150,000 worth of shares of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts stocks and $100,000 worth of shares of Extended Stay America.

The lawmaker was caught on tape making warnings to donors.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and even Sucker Tucker are calling upon the senators involved to resign or face criminal charges.




Burr and Loeffler deny any wrongdoing.











Burr was caught on tape talking at the Capitol Hill Club, a social club for Republicans located steps away from the Capitol Building.

"Every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to alter your travel. You may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to Europe is essential or whether it can be done on video conference. 'Why risk it?'" Burr told attendees.

He also previewed school shutdowns.
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) voted against the Families Act and was caught doing insider trading.
"There will be, I'm sure, times that communities, probably some in North Carolina, have a transmission rate where they say, 'Let's close schools for two weeks. Everybody stay home,'" said Burr.

He said the military could be utilized.

"We're going to send a military hospital there; it's going to be in tents and going to be set up on the ground somewhere," he said. "It's going to be a decision the president and the (Department of Defense) make. And we're going to have medical professionals supplemented by local staff to treat the people that need treatment," he added.

Burr was not sounding the alarm publicly. The Republicans and Donald J. Trump said that this was a "Democrat hoax."

The Raw Story says that Johnson, the longtime Wisconsin senator was caught selling equity before the market crashed. The exact amount is unknown, as ethics form only require disclosure in broad ranges, but Johnson reportedly selling over $5 million that day -- and potentially up to $25 million.

They reported that Inhofe, a far-white lawmaker who voted against the bipartisan Coronavirus Emergency Bill that Trump signed into law this week.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was caught doing insider trading.
Inhofe is a climate change denier. He is huge supporter of the gas, oil and coal industry. He is a bigot and is one of the remaining far-white lawmakers still not willing to support civil rights legislation.

Well his ass was caught selling large stock holding after private briefings on the coronavirus spreading into the United States.

Fox News, Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Republican propaganda network reports that Feinstein, a strong backer of the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and AIPAC is caught in this mess as well. The longtime Democratic lawmaker was caught selling off stock.

The data is listed on a U.S. Senate website containing financial disclosures from Senate members.

Feinstein and her husband sold between $2 million and $6 million in stock in a California biotech company Allegene Therapeutics between January and February.

When questioned by the junk food media, Feinstein's spokesman denies the allegations.

"All of Senator Feinstein's assets are in a blind trust. She has no involvement in her husband's financial decisions."

However, she does get daily briefings on financial affairs. Hmmm....
