The timing of this raises my eyebrows. 

 

So they drop this the MORNING AFTER the Repubs lay the smackdown on the Dems in the special election, after ALL 5 of Trump's endorsed candidates win, and all 6 picks the commie from Westchester endorsed were defeated?

 

Ah....you do know that Trump appointed the U.S. attorney who brought the charges against Collins, right?    :lol:

How many resignations/announcements of not seeking re-election from Congress has there been since last November? 

(close to 50)

Which party has been in the majority in terms of those resignations? 

(GOP)

 

The cleanup is happening on both sides of the aisle. Some were offered a chance to get out without indictments - hence the record number of resignations. Others are going to go down the hard way. GOP/DNC it makes no difference. This has never (really) been about politics. 

 

(Not directed at you, Lurker - your post just inspired it :beer: )

The indictment obtained from a federal grand jury also charges Collins' son, Cameron Collins, as well as the father of his fiancee, Stephen Zarsky.

 

The indictment relates to "securities of Innate Immunotherapeutics ... an Australian biotechnology company on whose board of directors Christopher Collins served," the DOJ said.

 

The defendants are accused of multiple counts of securities fraud, as well as one count of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count each of making false statements.

He represents parts of Erie and Niagara County where I live. 

 

Reminder: the newsworthy item in this story isn't that a member of Congress was insider trading.  The newsworthy item was that he was arrested for it.

This is a lich. It's the undead remains of some powerful wizard trying to cheat death. Since I think Hillary would be dead by 28, it's have to be her lich running.
