200 dollar fine is all they get?  FFS no wonder these fucks don't care.

I am sorry, but any elected officials, staff, and immediate family should NOT be allowed to participate in the market while they are in office.

YES, brought to you  by the  DISNEY Channel,  prosecuted by Mickey Mouse and the Mickey Mouse Club as the jury.    Presented  as an  animated cartoon for the whole family's viewing  entertainment.

Only normal people like you, me and Martha Stewart are held accountable for using hear say evidence in our business dealings.

"Special"  people are exempt from standards for everyday people 

Probably settle the allegations for parking their Rolls Royce in a parking space reserved for EV's...    $ 25 dollar fine, suspended for prior community service.

Insider-trading investigation against U.S. senator dismissed

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee has cleared Senator Kelly Loeffler of wrongdoing in connection with stock trades, her office said on Wednesday, after the wealthy Republican - who is in a tough election race - was criticized over share sales during the coronavirus outbreak.

“The Senate Ethics Committee has come to the exact same conclusion as the U.S. Department of Justice: Senator Loeffler did absolutely nothing wrong and has been completely exonerated,” a Loeffler representative said in a statement.

“Despite the obvious attempts by the media, political opportunists and liberal groups like CREW and Common Cause to distort reality, facts still matter and the truth is prevailing,” the statement said.

Common Cause and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed complaints against Loeffler in March.

Loeffler had vehemently denied wrongdoing.

The investigation complicated her bid to retain the Georgia Senate seat to which she was appointed late last year. Ahead of a special election in November, Loeffler faces a strong challenge for the Republican nomination from Representative Doug Collins, who has used the stocks issue in his campaign.

Loeffler and her husband Jeff Sprecher, chairman of the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, sold millions of dollars worth of stock from late January through mid-February, including transactions in shares later affected by the global pandemic. The transactions, as first reported by The Daily Beast, were before the coronavirus-induced stock market meltdown.
