Three of the four are Republicans and the fourth is Dianne Feinstein. Now there may be a perfectly legitimate reason for these senators to have sold before the collapse, but there are rumors that they had all received a briefing on what was going to happen with regards to the Kung Flu and the wrecking of both the American economy and the global economy. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n Sen. Dianne Feinstein<\/a> of California and three of her Senate<\/a> colleagues reported selling off stocks worth millions of dollars in the days before the coronavirus<\/a> outbreak crashed the market, according to reports.<\/b><\/p>\n First, this is Fox, which is why they led with Feinstein. Still, if all four had information that regular investors didn\u2019t have, well there are laws regarding this.<\/p>\n Feinstein, who serves as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and her husband sold between $1.5 million and $6 million in stock in California<\/a> biotech company Allogene Therapeutics, between Jan. 31 and Feb. 18, The New York Times reported. <\/b><\/p>\n I haven\u2019t checked, however I would think that medical and biotech companies, while being hit like everyone else, would be the ones who would make a mint from the Chinese Flu. Meanwhile, these four worthies are desperately trying to cover their rather ample backsides.<\/p>\n Feinstein defended herself in a series of tweets on Friday, saying she has “no control” over her assets and the stocks in question were her husband’s transactions. <\/b><\/p>\n “During my Senate career I\u2019ve held all assets in a blind trust of which I have no control. Reports that I sold any assets are incorrect, as are reports that I was at a January 24 briefing on coronavirus, which I was unable to attend,” she tweeted. <\/b><\/p>\n “Under Senate rules I report my husband’s financial transactions. I have no input into his decisions. My husband in January and February sold shares of a cancer therapy company. This company is unrelated to any work on the coronavirus and the sale was unrelated to the situation.” <\/b><\/p>\n Reports identified the three other senators as Richard Burr of North Carolina, Kelly Loeffler of Georgia and James Inhofe of Oklahoma, all Republicans. Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, used more than 30 transactions to dump between $628,000 and $1.72 million on Feb. 13, according to ProPublica. <\/b><\/p>\n From what I\u2019ve heard regarding Burr, he\u2019s big on protecting the Deep State, using his position to protect the intelligence services. However, I can\u2019t cite this and only have heard rumors. If anyone can provide authenticated information, please post it in the comments. I don\u2019t know anything about Loeffler and I would like to hear from Mr. Inhofe.<\/p>\n The report said the transactions involved a significant percentage of the senator\u2019s holdings and took place about a week before the impact of the virus outbreak sent stock prices plunging to the point where gains made during President Trump\u2019s term in office were largely erased. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cSenator Burr filed a financial disclosure form for personal transactions made several weeks before the U.S. and financial markets showed signs of volatility due to the growing coronavirus outbreak,\u201d a Burr spokesperson said. \u201cAs the situation continues to evolve daily, he has been deeply concerned by the steep and sudden toll this pandemic is taking on our economy.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n Well, at least he didn\u2019t try to hide his sales.<\/p>\n On Friday, the senator tweeted an updated statement saying he relied only on “public news reports” to guide his decision on the sale. Still, he said he’s asked for a Senate Ethics Committee review of his actions. <\/b><\/p>\n And this is entirely possible. There was a lot of information out there and he might have seen it. It\u2019s also possible that he heard something or read something in the course of his duties on the intelligence committee. Still, he is asking for an investigation and if he provides all his records, it\u2019s possible that everything he did was above board, which is more then I can say regarding Feinstein.<\/p>\n Burr was an author of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act, a law that helps determine the federal response to situations such as the coronavirus outbreak, ProPublica reported<\/a>. Burr\u2019s office would not comment on what kind of information Burr might have received about coronavirus prior to his stock sales, the outlet reported. <\/b><\/p>\n NPR reported<\/a> that Burr made ominous comments about coronavirus behind closed doors last month. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history,\u201d Burr said at a Feb. 27 meeting of business leaders in Washington. \u201cIt is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n This is NOT like the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak. While this isn\u2019t good, I don\u2019t believe we\u2019ve hit 500K people infected globally. It\u2019s also not being reported that most people recover. An aside. I heard from an old workmate that she and her family had tested positive. She and her two children had very mild symptoms, while her husband was a bit more ill. None needed hospitalization and were only tested after they had started recovering. This is why I refer to the Chinese Flu as a \u201cPanicdemic,\u201d not a pandemic.<\/p>\n Loeffler and her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, sold stock Jan. 24, the same day she sat in on a briefing from two members of Trump\u2019s Coronavirus Task Force, The Daily Beast reported<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
