Are six more Republicans about to go down along with Chris Collins?

According to an article in Raw Story - former Secretary Tom Price, TX Congressman John Culberson, TX Congressman Mike Conaway, CO Congressman Doug Lamborn, OK Congressman Markwayne Mullin, and MO Congressman Billy Long appear to have been convinced by Collins’ tip to make the stock purchase as well.

"If you get in early, you’ll make a big profit,” Collins reportedly told House Republicans last summer.

...other couldn't decide between Barbara and Debra, so named her Bebra. Thanks, Mom -

Markwayne sounds like an Oklahoma version of Billy Bob.

I've been in pediatrics for 42 years, and have seen parents do some really cruel things with names.

SELLING the stock just before the value crashed based on insider knowledge - that's the problem. If these Repugnants took the loss, they're fine. If they sold when Collin's friends and family did, they need to hire a lawyer - NOW.

I 've been waiting a long time for an investigation into how Price used his congressional post to make laws that would benefit his stock purchases. He's a big swamp monster.
