FBI recently obtained iCloud data access from Apple for Senator Richard Burr, as part of an on-going investigation regarding stock sales.
Richard Burr is under investigation for selling his stock portfolio while he was receiving updates from government health officials regarding coronavirus pandemic. The timing of his stock sales preceded the sharp decline in the stock market, just a week later. He had heavily invested in businesses that suffered the most due to the pandemic.
[...] Burr sold between $628,000 and $1.72 million worth of stocks. He was not the only senator to do so, as a few others are also under investigation. His brother in law also sold his shares worth between $97,000 and $280,000, on the same day as Burr's sell-off.
It is against the law for lawmakers to make trading decisions based on classified intelligence briefings that they receive due to their position in the government.

NY has the most lockdowns and it spread the most over there *and* it was the most deadly there. Sounds like your approach is working great!
Meanwhile states opening back up ASAP are not seeing any of the spike in cases predicted by the fearmongering, just like Wisconsin didn't after holding that election in early april.
Hard to believe how dumb some people are.

You're the poster child for "ignoramouses gonna be ignorant."
Good show. Do you work at that or does it come natural like?

So not mimicking places where everything goes to shit is ignorant? There is nothing positive I can see from the story in New York.
Ever since they had that smiling robot spreading the virus in Times Square I knew it was going to be bad there. Then came the demand for 50k ventilators that 88% of patients died on after needlessly suffering and wasting the ICU space/money for weeks, then came sending all the old covid patients into nursing homes rather than the hospital ship to spread the virus among the most vulnerable, then came the homeless moving onto the subway, etc.
I will be staying as far away from NYC as I possibly can after seeing that, thank you.

Good. As we like to say here, "Welcome to New York. Now go home." Except we won't even have to welcome you.
It's a win/win! You don't need to go anywhere you don't want to go, and we don't have to deal with an ignorant jackass like you.
Good times!

Fine with me, just stop trying to push the incompetent policies that lead to mass suffering and death onto the rest of us. You seem to be proud of these policies...

Yea... all the science, data, and evidence shows that NYC did something(s) very wrong since they had the most cases, most deaths, and most lockdown.
Only a total moron would think other places should follow their example.
