Why investigate? Senators are immune from insider trading laws.
But let’s put this in a different perspective. The WHO declared a global health emergency on 31 January. All of these senators are accused of selling stocks in February. Anyone could have seen this coming. I saw it coming.
What makes this bad is only if, in cases like Senator Richard Burr, they lied to the public about the direction of the market. Violated their duty to the people for their own benefit. But as we saw earlier this year, this is no longer an impeachable offense, so if this offends you: vote them out.
