This could all be on the up and up. He's buying, and he's disclosed that he's buying.

on a stock (that he was only privy to), has yet to be caught on it. I pasted a brief snapshot on his prior write-up...I'd be very careful w/ GE, I have looked at GE quite a few times, before in the past, because they paid a pretty decent dividend rate, but no more, they have cut their dividend, thus the stock suffered, and they do have some turmoil in some of their markets. Here's the quick blurb...Figures that he's from MO...

it was just a matter of time before another dirtbag Republican lawmaker would find himself outed for super dubious behavior. Both men seem to have bought a bunch of stock in an obscure Australian company named Innate. The company had an immune therapy drug that it was working through trials. Collins and his son had a lot of stock in that company, and they all sold off their stock just days before Innate’s drug failed a major trial. Well, add another Republican to the scoundrel’s fire! Meet Missouri’s own Republican Rep. Billy Long. You might remember the Trump-supporting Long for his swamp creature donor list. but today The Daily Beast reports that Long, like Collins has an intimate relationship with this obscure Innate stock.

blah, blah, blah...
