WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein was questioned by federal law enforcement agents about stock trades her husband made after the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States, her office said Thursday.

The California Democrat also provided documents to federal agents to show she was not involved in the transactions by her husband, investment banker Richard Blum, her spokesman said.

“She was happy to voluntarily answer those questions to set the record straight,” said spokesman Tom Mentzer. “There have been no follow-up actions on this issue.”

Mentzer did not immediately specify which law enforcement agency questioned Feinstein.

1. Here we go "both sides do it" crap from Fox News.

BTW I might be wrong but I think Feinstein lost money of the trades and they are held
in a blind trust too.

6. Sounds like they're taking a page from the NY Times.

in taking a right wing meme hook, line and sinker, and running with it like it has even an inkling of truth to it, which of course it does not. This horse has been beat to bloody pate. What Feinstein's husband did was perfectly legal, ethical and had nothing to do with the upcoming stock market crash. It's a non-story meant only to distract from what Burr and others actually did.

3. From what I understand, she wasn't in the briefings on the pandemic and the stocks

that her husband got rid of were in biotech - which is not the stock you dump if you are looking to make money from a pandemic.

4. A statement about

Blum's stock sale mentioned it was a planned event and the Stocks sold were sold at a loss in a effort to take the losses and move on.

5. That crap again?

Rethugs doing their usual..."well...what about [fill in non sequitur]"

7. I thought she said her

stocks were in a blind trust. I think anyone in politics that has money in stocks should have to have it in blind trust and this should include spouses and adult children.

8. Curious (not) that Sens Ron Johnson, Inhoffee & Sen Mrs Stock Exchange not investigated.

Hmm three Trump/McConnell tools ignored who also have suspicious CV19 Trades. The Woman Dem and a Trump "Turncoat Repug&quot re Senate Intell Trump/Russia Report) only.
