Financial records indicate that Sen. Joe Manchin is aware of the large sums of money he's making from his family coal business., MSNBC Opinion Columnist
What’s worse, however, than Manchin’s dodge is that what he’s doing is perfectly legal. Due to Congress’ lax code of ethics regarding lawmaker’s investments, Manchin’s conflict of interest is permissible, and, in many instances,. In other words, what may be even more scandalous than Manchin’s conflict of interest is the fact that it's allowed.
[C]ontrary to [Manchin’s] public statements, documents filed by the senator show the blind trust is much too small to account for all his reported earnings from the coal company, as of his latest financial disclosure report, which covers 2020 and was filed in May. In fact, congressional norms not only don’t require divestment from assets that would cause conflict of interest, but actually dictate that it is inappropriate for a lawmaker to recuse themselves from legislating on a specific matter purely on the basis that it could cause conflict of interest. Craig Holman, an ethics expert at Public Citizen, explained it in an email to me:

ZeeshanAleem Of course he is don't care about his constituents just his pocket!!
ZeeshanAleem I can’t stand Sen_JoeManchin he is NOT a democrat. He is completely for whatever his rich donors want him to be for. Embrace mantra”Elect Dems to the senate to make Manchin/KS obsolete”. I will forever hold those two responsible for the stalled legislation.
ZeeshanAleem So now that Sen. Manchin did not walk in step in voting on Democrats all out liberal agenda then this is what happens as the social liberal media starts to attack and look for things! Doesn’t this Sound like the familiar tactic?
ZeeshanAleem He’s doing his job baby! If he’s racking in coal what do you think Biden racking? Let’s tell you China money, Iran money and Russia money baby. Don’t open up box’s you can’t shut. There’s more crime in the DNC that you and will not report on it. So leave it alone. 🤨🕶🕶🕶

ZeeshanAleem China has increased coal use by 200% this year...crickets from the corrupt legacy corporate media..
ZeeshanAleem That must be why they thought that old Humpty Trumpty was a Pillar of Society. Oh Wait, Joe Manchin CLAIMS to be Democrat doesn't he. Well he probably STILL endorsed that old Humpty Trumpty. He and Krysten's Enema have to be changed for the same reason you change a baby's diaper.
ZeeshanAleem Lol so what
ZeeshanAleem Manchin and Sinema are both pro slavery jacksonians. They have zero interest in 'undesirables' voting. Females, brown people, or worse liberals. There is a true hatred for 'those' voting. THey also both lie and lie and lie about 'honest negotiations' neither will vote yes.

ZeeshanAleem Daily Some of them don't work for the people who elect them,but for groups of interest,I was publishing about Manchin in Tweeter since June, that He will change from one group to another,I guess I wasn't wrong.
ZeeshanAleem Daily So you believe Joe should ignore his constituents for the greater good? Every politician has conflicts. Should the other 48 not vote down BBB to help control inflation? For the greater good of course. Joe is one of few left that puts America above party. Celebrate him.
