Senators selling off stock is just part of the issue

You know they gave the heads up to all of their top donors as well. The senators themselves make for very visible examples of the rigged system, but you know it goes even deeper. Burr gave a private speech to his donors after his briefing. How many of them dumped their stock? How many others did the same? How much did the dumping of stock contribute to the precipitous decline? How many of you here on DU got the heads up and were able to avoid disastrous losses? (That last one is a trick question!)

Are involved in corruption throughout our government now. A commission needs to look into trump ,all his and lushness family all of Congress, after Barr and trump are gone. This can't be covered up , or corrupted anymore, especially from trump and the kusner families.

dumped stock through "blind trusts"? Go through the list of top donors for every republican and see how many of them dumped stocks. How many of them will pay back elected officials in the future for giving them the heads up? Just because a senator or congressman didn't dump their stock doesn't mean they won't eventually be taken care of by their benefactors. That would just solidify the "ownership" of the elected officials by their wealthy supporters.
