Áine MacDermotSo this was insider trading and a violation of the STOCK Act, right? https://t.co/yVaz03JDp4
As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I know that our committee receives sensitive information, including assessments and projections, before others in Congress and the general public (if ever).

Since taking power, Republicans have consistently prioritized their person wealth over the health of our people, and their duty to the Constitution.
A #GlobalPandemic has not altered their priorities.

Julie ReulbachAs a North Carolinian,I'd like to see Sen. Richard Burr investigated for dumping between $628,000 and $1.72 million in stock after falsely reassuring public about #Coronavirus.
Also, I'd like to remind everyone he's not really from here.

Debra KolahWhat is more shocking - that a Republican Senator may have engaged in insider trading or that his selloff presumed Trump would bungle the coronavirus response and tank the stocks? https://t.co/Tdy5USF0X0

Here’s a thought: maybe the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee shouldn’t use classified information to sell off $1.6 million in stock before a public health crisis while downplaying the threat of #COVID_19 to the American people. https://t.co/6Z0f
This Richard Burr news ... what he knew before most of us and only shared with well-heeled donor friends -- and his big stock dump to enrich himself in the heat of the crisis ... is absolutely mad. It's almost hard to believe; emphasis on ALMOST. https:// -
Caroline PointerThis is abjectly appalling, but completely predictable behavior from our ruling class-
anyone who acted on classified national security information to dump stocks should be prosecuted if possible but completely and utterly shamed no matter what the law -

What. The. Fuck. https://t.co/9JxRnvo7hI
Burr was one of three senators to vote against the 2012 STOCK Act, which barred lawmakers from using non-public information for trades.
This kind of self-serving behavior from a sitting senator at a time of unprecedented crisis is unacceptable.

This is wrong and needs to end. It’s past time that we reform our broken political system that puts corrupt politicians ahead of working families. https://t.co/p0ugMNulcP
A correction to our story on @SenatorBurr's stock trades:
He sold between $628,000 and $1.72 million in 33 separate transactions, not between $582,029 and $1.56 million of his holdings in 29 separate transactions.
Because I missed 4 transactions.

Sounds like Burr could be heading to prison for insider trading:
“As the head of the intel comm, Burr has access to the gov’t’s most highly classified info about threats to US security. His comm was receiving daily coronavirus briefings around this time.”
incredible. https://t.co/bZrPJt7cP6
