GOP Congressman Chris Collins (NY) arrested for insider trading/securities fraud

[Trumpublican]Meh, what’s the big deal. People do this all the time. It’s smart to use the best information available to you! So unfair! And yet Hillary is uncharged and free. Sad![/Trumpublican].
 
El Chapo is being quoted, "Even I don't have as many crooks around me as Trump does."
 
i thought that was GOP 101...my understanding is that you need Insider Trading/Securities Fraud (GOP 101) to qualify for GOP 102 NRA and other Lobbyist Donors.

Eventually GOP 104 Money Laundering and Infidelity Pay-Offs will qualify you for the GOP Presidential Candidate.
 
This indictment is hilarious. It’s basically the exact same scenario many corporations’ legal departments use to train employees on insider training.

 
There is video footage of Collins in the background on his phone at the exact time the indictment says he was insider trading. Enjoy federal prison bud.

Only the best!
 
Rubes won’t care.

One of the few bright spots in this dumpster fire of an administration and political party is seeing just how stupid so many of them are. If they were half as smart as they think they are and claim to be, they might well have moved into dictator status by now, or at least accomplished far more of their goals. Instead, they and their family minions keep tripping over themselves. The only thing that's saved them is that the GOP base just doesn't care. Trump or House Republicans could announce they were selling the White House to the highest bidder, and Arlington National Cemetery would be sold and turned into a housing development, and most Trumpites would just shrug and keep ranting about the latest Hillary or Ocasio Cortez development they saw on Fox News.
 
The GOP base is stupid too.

FOUR ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS INVESTED IN INNATE

Four more members of Congress purchased stock in Innate Immunotherapeutics, the small Australian biomedical firm connected to a fellow congressman, Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY), according to periodic transaction reports reviewed by CREW. The purchases were made at a time of intense scrutiny of Innate’s stock following revelations that then-Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had purchased between $50,001 and $100,000 in Innate stock last August in what has been called a “sweetheart deal.”

Each of the congressmen — Reps. Mike Conaway (R-TX), Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Billy Long (R-MO), and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) – purchased the stock in January 2017. Two of the new stockholders, Reps. Mullin and Long, are members of the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee along with Rep. Collins. The trades in Innate stock by Reps. Conaway, Lamborn and Long have not been previously reported while Political MoneyLine first identified Rep. Mullin’s Innate purchase.

It is unknown whether the congressmen purchased Innate stock with Rep. Collins’ encouragement. Rep. Collins, who is Innate’s largest shareholder and sits on the company’s board of directors, has been overheard by reporters speaking loudly into his cellphone in the House lobby, bragging about how many “millionaires” he had made in his hometown of Buffalo in recent months.
