While I was wasting time last night writing about Jim Inhofe trying to reinforce his tough guy persona, people on Twitter were noticing he sold up to $500,000 in stock just days after a January 24th senate briefing about the Coronavirus.
So uhhh... that all-senators Senate Health Committee briefing was on 1/24, right? pic.twitter.com/VuIQhClgt1

In all fairness, if a high-ranking government official came up to me a couple of months ago and said, "Hey, Patrick - this Coronathing is going to devastate the economy. 80% - 90% of your business revenue is going to dry up like a raisin in the sun, and the stock market will go down more than 20%," I probably would have sold stock and not told anyone, too!
