Chris Collins, R-N.Y charged with using "his position with an Australian biotech firm to help his family make illicit stock trades — and avoid more than $768,000 in losses.... also charged with lying to the FBI."
Quotes are from the @NBCNews story linked to by @MotherJones

nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
June 2017: Collins "passed along material that was nonpublic regarding the results of a drug trial — meant to treat an advanced form of multiple sclerosis — so his son 'could use that information to make timely trades in Innate stock and tip others'."
June 22: Collins learns drug trial fails via CEO email to board
Flurry of emails, phone calls; dumped stock
June 26: "news of the failed drug trial was made public and the stock took a nosedive"
If this is NOT insider trading, then the law must be changed.

Excellent analysis of "FACT" and Whittaker from #TPM

Whitaker's op-ed was "highly critical of a candidate, and he ought not to be doing that, because it’s a political partisan comment."

Whittaker founded his Section 501c3 NFP in 2015.
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/whitaker-…
Section 501c3 tax code prohibits non-profits "from supporting or opposing political candidates during a campaign." But "FACT" under Whittaker did that more than once.
"in 2016 [Whitaker] earned more than twice what leaders of similar groups were paid on average that year"
Charity Navigator is our friend, not his.
His THREE-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member.

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State/Gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp has a three-year history of ignoring elections security, which makes his Sunday accusation about the state Democratic Party even more suspect.
themoderatevoice.com/brian-kemps-ha…
"Brian Kemp is both overseeing the governor’s election, as a secretary of state, and running in that election, as the Republican nominee. And he’s behaving shamefully."

Deconstructing Trump on Lee and Grant (image) - comments made at Ohio political rally
cnn.com/politics/live-…
FACT: Robert E. Lee was a slave owner who chose to lead a traitorous rebellion. He supported a war designed to keep humans enslaved via an economic and social system of white supremacy.
Trump’s Lost Cause frame on Robert E. Lee was not scripted, so this appears to be what Trump believes (or at least holds in his head)

CT: “Trump (and some adult family) negotiated a deal with the Saudis and the Emiratis for 3.6 billion to get rid of Iran nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions. The payment was made in two installments. The first last year and the second earlier in 2018”

"Trump has seethed to confidants that he views the Manafort charges as “a warning shot” from Mueller. He has told those close to him that as he watches the courtroom proceedings, he fears that Donald Trump Jr. could at some point be the one on trial"

1/ Thread.

On Feb. 24, 2016, @RepChrisCollins was the first member of Congress to endorse Trump. Collins was the congressional liaison to Trump's transition team. He's since appeared on national TV over 200 times, consistently defending Trump's actions.

2/ Flynn getting fired? No big deal to @RepChrisCollins:

"No, it doesn't bother me. I'm thrilled (with) the team President Trump has put together. I know General Flynn personally and he's a man of integrity who is always going to put our country first."
cnn.com/2017/02/10/pol…
3/ Remember Trump's "shithole countries" statement? @RepChrisCollins told us Trump isn't racist right after that. Collins said the criticism of Trump's statement was disingenuous.

"It's political," Collins said at the time, "shame on them for that."

Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., has been arrested for insider trading. Another district the Republicans will have a hard time defending if it's an open seat.
Indicted, by the way. Not clear if he was taken into custody yet, or if he even will be.
Here's the federal complaint against Chris Collins for insider trading. This is notably from the Southern District of New York. peoplespunditdaily.com/wp-content/upl…

You must remember that the secret to all of this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid, and you don't resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear.
