You left out "Democrat" @SenFeinstein.

If you're going to be outraged, then at least have the character to be consistent.
Accusations of insider trading vs. lawmakers are never as simple as tabloid-like media hit pieces can make them seem.

In truth, neither the original report nor those +Tweets regurgitation stories prove anything to those who understand how lawmakers handle investments.
Neither Feinstein nor Burr nor any others should be accused of insider trading based on timing.

The Burr audio tape makes a somewhat stronger case. But that also smacks of a convenient tee up.

Story already retracted their smear of Ron Johnson. That's B/C it's weak and sloppy.
