Senators Loeffler, Inhofe, Feinstein Exonerated by Justice Department Over Claims of Insider Trading
2020-05-28
Good to know.
[Townhall] The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Tuesday that the investigation into GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler (GA) and Jim Inhofe (OK), as well as Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
(CA), is closed. The group of bipartisan senators were accused of insider trading, and the investigation grew into a national spectacle. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), who is also under investigation, has not yet been exonerated by DOJ.

This vindication is especially significant for Sen. Loeffler, who has been lambasted by Democrats and Republicans alike who concluded, before the investigation was finished, that Sen. Loeffler abused her senatorial privilege and was guilty of insider trading after a January coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
briefing. Sen. Loeffler bore the brunt of the attacks on the group of senators.

In the midst of the controversy, Sen. Loeffler elected to liquidate her family’s stock portfolio in order to put criticism to rest and allow her to focus on legislation, despite committing no illegal actions. This move was not enough for Congressman Doug Collins, though, who is challenging Sen. Loeffler in Georgia’s jungle primary in November; he insinuated Sen. Loeffler’s guilt before the case was closed:

#4  So is the Collins vs Loeffler split going to let the Dems sneak in and steal the Senate seat?

#2  If people are surprised by this exoneration, then I am awfully surprised. This was a no-brainer, and people got worked up over nothing.
