Senator's defense in stock-trading controversy undercut by new details
If the latest reporting is correct, there's reason to question the heart of David Perdue's answers to questions about his well-timed investments.

1. Republicans Are Above The Law Now Move Along

Laws are for poor people.

[bringthePaine]

7. heh, time they find themselves under the thumb of justice, eh?🤞

[Deacon Blue]

11. Like Taxes, or Dying for Your Country

[Escurumbele]

17. I understand your comment, they have been getting away with murder but...

I believe we need to stop saying it like it is normal, because people get used to hearing it and accepting it as if in fact it is normal.

On the contrary, we need to demand that justice be done and these people need to be made accountable for their actions. So, lets not say that again, it cannot be true, it should not be true, it must not be true, instead lets start acting horrified about it.

2. Incredible that both republican candidates

for the senate in Georgia seem to have serious stock investment controversies. I remember a time when that would be political death for a candidate, but not today.

8. especially for a TAKER-STATE like GA

[PatSeg]

12. Makes you wonder what they have to do

to lose voters if you're a republican. Piss off Trump or say something nice about a Democrat I suppose.

3. So if Martha Stewart got sent to jail...

...why do these bastards go free?

[malaise]

4. Tut Tut sarchasm

Martha was a Democrat

[DENVERPOPS]

9. And to think

The White Male RepubliCONs nailed her to the wall for 50K and put her in prison, not the millions or tens of millions these corrupt assholes grifted right in front of us..........

[drray23]

10. she did not go to prison for insider trading.

they convicted her for lying about it instead.

5. Help Ditch Mitch: DU actblue link for donations to Warnock, Ossoff, Fair Fight ...

6. Any crime committed by a Republican, once prosecuted, becomes "political persecution"

And the multitudes of Pavlov's dogs bark and salivate and blame those damned libs for attacking a Godly man.

Be pissed at Americans; the politicians can only do what their own constituents permit them to do.

[LiberalArkie]

13. It is always people who were in an executive position.

[calimary]

14. Just another GOP CROOK!

A liar and a crook!

Guess he’s just playing “Follow the Leader,” ‘eh?

[JohnnyRingo]

15. Did I miss the "new details"?

Is this a teaser from Rachel's show, like she'll fill us in later?
Up there with that one trick the insurance companies don't want me to know.

On edit:
Never mind. I followed the link eventually to Maddow's Twitter

[Ilsa]

16. Loeffler's new ads claim she was cleared by

a committee of both Rs and Ds. Yeah, a SENATE committee, run by a R senator with Rs in majority. So much bullshit.

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. As if there was ever any doubt about insider trading.

And he`s far from the only one.
