THE BEST PEOPLE.....


Collins is expected to appear in court tomorrow and multiple news organizations have reported he is expected to plead guilty to charges involving insider trading.

Collins was the first House Republican to endorse Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election

Multiple counts too...and including his son and other family members.

It's not like these guys are "one time accident" step-over-the-line types. It's a whole way of life. Anything for a buck.

I think this is the way it works, the reason he got in trouble is that he shared the info with others. If he just kept quiet and he was the only one who profited, nothing would have been done.

Well, we'd have to make the assumption that this is the one and only time his morals and ethics caused him to do something wrong for cash gain......which is quite a bar, so to speak.

I usually make the assumption that the tip of the iceberg theory holds.....or even more. Most White Collar Crimes are committed dozens, hundreds or thousands of times before the axe falls.

Look at Madoff. He actually did 10's of thousands of actions...each which were a crime. Yet even after he was suspected no one really cared much.

Yeah--I remember there were two Republicans under indictment during the mid-terms and I think they both won!

I had a difficult time believing they won, but this guy actually hung around until he had to plead guilty. Duh--what is wrong with these guys?

Well, Lindsey said we'd have to restore honor and integrity and morals to our government.....so if I were to believe him, he accepts only the highest of ethics in his party.

Wasn't he the guy that took the phone call on the white house lawn and happened to be within the range of television news cameras?
