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.

I changed nothing. You're just fucking around, just doing your regular gossipy bullshit, projecting your own foibles, providing some amusement...

You've *repeatedly* claimed (for as long as you've been sliming SN, including in the current discussion [soylentnews.org]) that if only folks would vote for third parties and vote out the corrupt scum, all our problems would be solved.
Ranked Choice Voting gives third parties a much better opportunity to get votes -- and elect their candidates. Yet you're against that.
Which forces me to assume that either you are as big a moron as you seem to be, or you're just a disingenuous prick. Perhaps both.
Jackass.

:-) Once again you have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe when you read correctly what was written we can talk.
