The more corrupt, the higher the score. The corruption test is the only one Trump has ever aced.

This is just sarcasm for real I do not care party affiliation or if they had money in a blind trust do something.

(42,680 posts)6. Her earlier transactions were suspect. These are not.
By February 26, the market already had been on a downward trajectory for several days. (It peaked at 29,551 on Feb. 12 and was down to 27,081 (8.4 percent) at the close on February 25. And by March 11, the market was down to 25018 -- over 15 percent from its high a month earlier).
In other words, by the time these transactions took place, lots of people were being advised to dump certain stocks and buy others. I was receiving such advice from my financial advisor. And companies like Lulumon and TJ Maxx, which generally were doing even worse than the overall market, were obvious choices to be sold..
Of course, this doesn't get Loeffler off the hook for the sales that were made before the market slide. But if we start screaming to "lock up" anyone who made market-savvy trades after the market already was cratering, I bet we're going to find a bunch of Democrats did the same thing.

(6,926 posts)7. Two things about this
Her husband is the CEO of the NYSE...talk about an insider.
Senator Burr of NC is even worse. After the briefing he met with wealthy donors to warn them.
Neither one acted on behalf of their constituents....just themselves and those who give them money.
