this warrants investigation but not condemnation until the facts are known.
For example what if one or more of them had set stocks over a year ago to automatically sell if some trigger was hit? What if the Senator had relinquished control of the stock purchases and sales but coincidentally their manager sold in this time period? What if they have a pattern of selling and buying stocks in this volume just as background activity even before learning the info?
If it’s obvious they did this volitionally after learning non-public info that’s one thing. Certainly there is enough to merit investigation. But dunking on even crappy people like Burr and Feinstein is not yet warranted until all facts are known.
