The wide outrage in Congress over Senator Burr's stock dump hasn’t died down—and could have consequences for both Burr and how congresspeople can manage their financial assets

“No member of Congress should leverage their position to earn a profit. Recent reports of alleged Senate improprieties are deeply disturbing. For far too long, members of Congress have used their positions of power to gain privileges and unnecessary perks at the expense of the American people,” Omar said in a statement about the HUMBLE Act. “Our total focus should be on serving the public interest, not personal gain.” Khanna echoed the sentiment.

“We have too much information, and at the end of the day, to me, even the sense of impropriety isn’t worth the trade-off of having these stocks,” she said emphatically.

JuddApatow It’s simple. Become a public servant, not allowed to invest in private sectors.

JuddApatow Outrage, but nothing will happen to him. No disgorging of profits. No criminal indictments (like Martha ) Stewart , no jail time. Not even a rebuke much less a censure. Anything a GOP does is ok.

JuddApatow Why are there threats on Fauci instead of this douche?
