BREAKING: Rep. Chris Collins, the first Trump-supporting congress member, will change his plea tomorrow in insider trading case.

His accused co-conspirators will change their pleas on Wednesday. cc: @CourthouseNews
@CourthouseNews Before deciding to change his plea, Collins recently lost a fight to keep his private emails under wraps.

ICYMI, @CourthouseNews. courthousenews.com/congressman-wa…
@CourthouseNews An attorney for Zarsky, the father of Collins' son's fianceé, declined to comment.

The Collins' families attorneys did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Look for my story soon.
@CourthouseNews Developing story:

Trump’s First Congressional Fan to Plead Guilty to Insider Trading

Much more to come, @CourthouseNews

@CourthouseNews Correcting a quick mistake in my math:

Son Cameron Collins and Stephen Zarsky, the father of the son's fiancée, have their change of plea hearing on **Thursday**, Oct. 3.
@CourthouseNews Asked whether Collins planned to resign, the GOP congressman’s spokeswoman declined to comment on what she called “this ongoing legal matter.”

NEW: Trump’s attorney tells a federal judge that if he does not rule on their motion to temporarily block Manhattan DA Vance’s subpoenas by their Monday morning deadline, he will treat that “inaction” as a denial and appeal.

cc: @CourthouseNews
For context: By “Monday deadline,” I had been referring to when the current stay that the DA agreed upon expires.

Here’s the first part of the letter.
An observant reader spots the handwritten notation by Judge Marrero, who closed the record to be able to rule on a time crunch.

That’s because conspiracy theorists is a misnomer. It’s not mistake-of-fact, but a conscious decision to push disinformation for the gain of their chosen agendas.
This is also why fact-checks that do not investigate the provenance of lies and the agendas they aim to advance are ultimately impotent.
The phrase “conspiracy theorist,” designed to stigmatize malefactors, ultimately gives them an undeserved benefit of the doubt.

This is not objectivity, but a positive bias presuming the good faith of disinformation artist.

New: The son of Rep. Chris Collins, who admitted to an insider trading conspiracy two days ago, pleaded guilty too today.

Cameron Collins confirmed he received the info from his father and knew it was “wrong and illegal.”

Background, @CourthouseNews: courthousenews.com/ex-rep-collins…
Judge Broderick just accepted his guilty plea on one conspiracy count.

Under his plea deal, prosecutors will recommend guidelines between 37 and 46 months.
Like his father, Cameron Collins stayed silent when asked whether he repudiated the former congressman’s assertion that reporting on their case was “fake news.”

Now, they have both admitted the allegations.

#Breaking: Republican Rep Chris Collins resigned and it’s rumored that he will plead guilty to insider trading charges.
Rep Christopher Collins pleaded guilty to insider trading & lying to the FBI.

Collins sat on the board of #BigPharma company Innate Immunotherapeutics, who developed a multiple sclerosis drug that failed, and was also one of its biggest shareholders.

The day after Innate sent an email to their board, which included Collins, that their MS drug trial MIS416 failed, Collins son Cameron started selling off his own shares of Innate. Cameron Collins also told 6 other people, who also sold their shares.

#BREAKING: Trump ally Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) was just arrested by the FBI for insider trading!
Per @NBCNews, this pertains to a biotech company for which Rep. Chris Collins was a board member.

Worth noting that Rep. Chris Collins forcefully defended Trump's refusal to release his tax returns. Collins said elected officials shouldn't release their taxes, period.

... it's almost like there's a reason we have standards for this sort of thing.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
