    This was happening quite frequently in the past, in fact John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and John Boner all did it. The SEC was unsure whether they could prosecute them because they were members of Congress and it would be a part of the executive branch exercising authority over a co-equal branch. I don't believe that for a second, but whatever.

    In response to this guy's book and a 60 Minutes piece they passed legislation several years back when Obama was in office. These two senators should be in serious trouble.

    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      Yeah, that's BS because that's the definition of checks and balances.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            Don’t look now, but this is growing into a larger scandal. Looks like there’s at least 3 senators who had some very lucky timing off-loading stock.

                    There are a handful of other senators, other than Burr and Loeffler, who are being implicated right now. Not so fast, according to this:

                      Burr and Loeffler are shady on this, especially because of their public statements after the fact. The others don’t look too bad here. Coronavirus was in the news in January. The Wuhan stuff was scary, and we started to see it spread to other places like Italy, Iran, Korea, and Japan. It didn’t take a crystal ball to see the potential for spreading worldwide.

                      I put most of my 401k into bonds mid-February. I was on the fence anyway, thinking the market was running too hot. I now feel prescient, but it’s probably more dumb luck due to paranoia. I also had some significant cash on hand due, and I’m buying back in with about 20% on each big down day.

                          Need an investigation into Burr and Loeffler. The rest should be looked at briefly but seem not to be as obviously shady. If the evidence shows what appears to be obvious, the should both be expelled and prosecuted.

                            After a pretty sleepless night, I checked the markets this morning expecting -5% declines across the board in the futures market (that's the max before circuit breakers kick in). But I'm very surprised to see that futures are actually up--currently around 1.6%, due apparently to early Fed moves. I still think the day will be a big negative, but it shows there's still a fair amount of long-range hope out there which, frankly, I had lost.

                              And Romney actually called out the Dems for being a bunch of dumbasses and causing the -5% lost in the futures...

                                Mitt gets a lot of crap for doing what he believes is best, even when it doesn't align with his party. Most political hacks choose party over policy. I think Mitt cares less about reelection than nearly every other politician.
