3 Republican lawmakers face ethics complaints for allegedly violating a federal stock disclosure law

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A watchdog organization is accusing three Republicans serving in Congress of violating a federal transparency law by failing to properly disclose millions of dollars worth of stock trades.

The separate complaints by the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center were filed Thursday afternoon with the Office of Congressional Ethics and US Senate Select Committee on Ethics. They allege Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, as well as Reps. Pat Fallon of Texas and Blake Moore of Utah, illegally delayed by weeks or months their numerous stock trades.

"When members of Congress trade individual stocks and fail to disclose those trades, they break the law and diminish the public's trust in government," the three complaints each state. "The recent prevalence of STOCK Act violations in the House shows that merely the threat of a fine is not deterring members of Congress from breaking the law; real accountability is necessary."

The Campaign Legal Center's complaints are based in part on reporting by Insider, which in June and July revealed that Tuberville, Fallon, and Moore had violated the STOCK Act.

1. If Congress and Justice can let TFG get away with his ownership dodges and

violations of the Emolument Clause, not to mention the larceny perpetuated by charging the govt. for staying at his own resorts, what harm are these 3 little squats doing?

2. To be fair, I don't think Toobs knows who or where he is

Most of the time.
