Senator Burr thought he was above the law..(about stock sales)

It is against the law to use professional information gained by being a person in Congress for one's own profit. Senator Burr, the FBI says, broke the law.. There will be a trial. Will Burr work out a "plea deal" or risk a trial?....Maybe Burr will say, "I didn't know that was against the law." Seems pretty clear to me, and to the FBI.
...What do you think? I think the FBI hold no punches and there will be a trial & conviction. (or a plea deal)

the fact that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. No one at Justice cares about his financial improprieties. He just stepped down as chair of the intelligence committee and will be replaced by a more willing stooge. Mission accomplished Bob Barr.
