Four Republicans in congress got rid of their stocks

before the crash. They evidently had advance knowledge of what was coming.

So here's my question. Should they be jailed or hung?

Burr was one of 3 who voted against insider trading in the Senate.

But she shouldn't just lose her career, this level of scummy villainy actually deserves jail time.

Dems will get up in arms about Feinstien's husband selling stock at a loss and want to kick her out just like they did in the
Al Franken BS.

Meanwhile Republicans view dumping stock and grabbing pussy as a GOOD thing and their base NEVER asks for their removal.
