If I sent a monkey into the halls of Congress, with instructions to fling poo at every member that had engaged in inside trading, that monkey would quickly be back asking for a refill of the bucket.
Most members, I imagine, make sure to have shell corporations or such engage in the trading. Mr. Collins' mistake, if he did what is charged, was simply involving his immediate family in the transactions.
Why are so many people close to Donald Trump being arrested for federal crimes?
You'll remember, Collins was the very first Congressman to support Trump after he announced he was running for POTUS, and Collins was a part of Trump's transition team.
The point remains the President promised to drain the swamp, then proceeded to surround himself with liars and crooks. How many people who were close to him at one time have now been indicted? I mean you just can't ignore this although obviously that's exactly what you are trying to do.
Actually....though I am not a fan of him~ Obama "Drained the Swamp" when he took office....., and Trump HAS THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN America's HISTORY!
Comparing presidential administrations by arrests and convictions: A warning for Trump appointees As Obama’s administration winds to a close, that remains true. Not one criminal indictment for anyone in the Obama administration over the entire eight years of his tenure. In fact, it is the only Presidential administration since Watergate to end with zero criminal indictments. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...ump-Appointees
I wonder how many of them all benefit from insider trading??
Congressional insider trading is when they pass legislation or try to interfere or be involved with legislation that affects their investments.
Collins found out from the company that a drug trial had failed miserably and tipped off his son, who then sold all his stock before the value dropped. I don't know if any friends of father and son were also tipped off.
The prosecutors laid it all out and seem to have a pretty tight case. But, yes, of course Trump will pardon him. Trump hands out pardons to his cronies like party favors. The 'law and order president' will make a mockery of the law.
