Republican Jim Inhofe dumped up to $450,000 in stock -- the fourth GOP senator implicated in scandal:

report

Published 3 mins ago on March 19, 2020By Bob Brigham

The GOP Senate Caucus faced a massive scandal on Thursday after multiple GOP senators revealed in public filings that they had sold large stock holdings after private briefings on the coronavirus scandal.

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) have all be implicated in the scandal.

Now conservative Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe has also been caught up, after reporting he sold in late February.

There have been calls for the implicated lawmakers to resign from office over the scandal.

selling in late february is way after that meeting. It was all over the news already that china had tens of thousands of cases and they were dying. Already it had been anounced not only by china but many other sources. it had spread to many countries by then.

check the bottom of the page at :

where they list the sources they used to gather the info and when major organizations or countries made the announcement.

Repukes never change: They’re just about greed, racism, not “small” government but rather *NO* government, religiosity & related hypocrisy (“patriotism”/military), and varieties of scoundrelism.

I’m assuming you don’t mean Inhofe. He announced a week or so ago he’s running again. At 85 years old.
