Who do you think gave them the info?

Heard Feinstein claims her holdings are in a blind trust. Haven't verified that anywhere.

It wasn't me, I don't know who does that, maybe my broker, Tony do you know who did that?

Burr's defense is reasonable. Think it was Feb. 11th when I made my move.

I don't believe him for a minute but it's a reasonable defense.

Would that defense work if a CFO sold a bunch of stock? How would we react to a CEO claiming that he relied on public info, and ignored the unreleased financials he had access to?

The problem is that Burr continued to downplay the threat in public. If he said "look, this is going to be bad, and I'm selling everything" things would've been different. As it stands, he's an evil fucker, as he profits while acting in a way that is complicit with death and a tanking economy.

Great opportunity for Trump to show leadership, show calm, show that he and his administration are on task, and show (gulp!) compassion and empathy. Predictably, which is maybe why the question was asked, Trump devolved into media blame-ism, name calling, and hysterics. Par for this course.
