It was 20K difference between when she sold it, and when everyone else found out about the FDA flunking them out.

In other words, if she had waited until the general announcement was made, she would've gotten 20K less for her stock. Big deal.

She's lost MILLIONS on HER stock as a result of the bad press. But that ain't enough. The politicians wanna grandstand.

No, insider trading isn't good. However, if she wanted to really do some insider tradiing, she sure as hell could've made more than 20K.

I mean, the damn woman's a millionaire a hundred times over. Do you really think she'd risk losing MILLIONS, which is what happened to her own stock, over a 20K savings?????????

Grandstanding in front of a scapegoat. That's what it's all about.

"Insider trading" didn't seem to be a problem when Hillary made 50K off of a single investment, and never invested again. Sheer luck?

Senate libs need to worry more about getting their jobs done, than Martha's 20K.
