Wow — the FBI is actually giving one of the bad guys here in D.C. the “Roger Stone treatment,” so to speak.
FBI investigators are looking into Senator Burr’s stock trades before the coronavirus market collapse, reports NBC and others.
This is all quite unusual: a sitting US Senator’s Washington, DC residence was searched by FBI agents late yesterday reportedly, and they seized his cell phone — hoping to extract discussions with his stock broker from the device.
In the days before an unprecedented slide in American stock markets, and just after attending privileged meetings in his role as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Richard Burr allegedly unloaded up to $1.6 million in stock, and warned “well-connected donors” that the shit was about to hit the fan, so to speak.
If the FBI is looking to beef up on their Deepstate Huckster Pokemon deck, going after Senator Burr may have been an excellent — if unexpected — first choice! Now hopefully they will add others to their collection… I’m rooting for Tony Podesta or David Brock to get a knock from the G-men here in D.C. next, but who knows!
