Barr's DOJ has dropped its insider trading investigations into Kelly Loeffler and other Senators

https://www.thedailybeast.com/doj-drops-insider-trading-investigation-into-kelly-loeffler-report-says




Unfuckingbelievable - House needs to order an investigation into payoffs from Senators to Trump.

The Justice Department will not file insider trading charges against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. DOJ informed lawyers for Loeffler and two other senators scrutinized for their coronavirus-era stock trades that they are closing their investigations into the matters. A DOJ investigation into Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) remains ongoing.

It was never about insider trading. It was always about control of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Trump may be a villain out of a bad action movi, but Barr is villain straight out of an historical novel.
