His defense *indicts Trump.*
Burr cites a Trump/admin briefing supposedly showing officials warning the public. It actually shows them *downplaying* the threat!

Here's the key point.
This scandal goes far beyond just the stock sales.
It opens up a vast new line of inquiry:
What were lawmakers privately told by Trump officials about just how bad this was going to get?

That cronies were told something different from the public is the true horror, eclipsing the profit reaped by the cronies.

Awful....while they were trying to say everything was fine, they held the truth from the American people, and were cashing in their stock in the process.
