Day 9… So… a little war-time profiteering from a couple of GOP Senators. Advance warning of what was coming at a briefing apparently spurred Richard Burr (North Carolina - R) and Kelly Loeffler (Georgia-R) to sell millions of dollars of stock before the crash. Loeffler, apropos of nothing, is married to Jeffrey Sprecher who is the chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange which owns the New York Stock Exchange. Both Dianne Feinstein (California - D) and James Inhofe (Oklahoma - R) also sold off some stock, but neither of those transactions seem to be in the same category as Burr and Loeffler. Fox News is lumping them all together and listing Feinstein first in the headlines, but it APPEARS to be a false equivalency.
