New York GOP Rep. Chris Collins to be indicted on insider trading charges
He was just arrested by the FBI.
That sucks, he was a big 2a supporter.

"Justice Department"? In another time/era I would take federal agencies as credible. Given as the IRS and FBI were staffed and weaponized by the democrats my first thoughts are who stacked the cards in this deck? Is this another political witch hunt? Evidence shows that victims are picked and chosen because of their politics. Collins was an early pro-Trump supporter. Thank you politicians for making a joke of the justice system. Thank you for making me doubt my country.

To take control of the House, Democrats will need to flip at least 24 GOP seats.
Its a long way to November.
More GOPs may fall.
The deep state hates Trump and the GOP.

The 550 sports radio broadcast (In Buffalo) interrupted their BS to announce the indictment. They NEVER announce anything except sports. Talk about another republican hating media.
The mainstream media is tearing him apart already.
Saying he has always walked the line between legal/illegal activity.
Also that when Louise Slaughter died, he said she was a despicable human being.
She was on the ethics committee and the MSM says she thought he was shady.
I do remember him saying that about her 10 minutes after she died, that was harsh.

Meanwhile Andy continues to piss away Billions and no one notices.
Anyone else think this isn't about the insider trading?? I'd be willing to bet the majority of elected officials inside trade.

Is there a Congress person out there worth less than a million dollars ? Why do millionaires want/need a job that pays 80k or so ? At the least, Trump is working for free.

We are clearly a banana republic, both Andy and Hillary have done things that would have gotten them chromed bracelets in another era. They are untouchable Teflon coated divas anointed by the masses.

Poor taste, perhaps. But he certainly wasn't wrong.

I think most if not all politicians at every level are crooked .
I noticed. Monkeyface is looking more like a socialist with all his giveaways.
Democrats/deep state are pulling out all the stops trying to get the house back.

The power, the benefits, the after-office employment opportunities.
Interesting how an early Trump supporter was caught up in this, yet, obvious crooks like the Clinton's, Feinstein, Harry Reid, and countless others have gotten rich way beyond any visible means while serving in Congress. Too bad for those caught up in it, and for all of us on the 2A side of things. So much for his SAGA bill too!
I'm guessing he may be giving up his NY CCW and any other guns he owns in the near future. I'm also guessing he will fade out of the picture quietly, and hope that Trump pardons him at some time in the future, as I am pretty sure they have him by the short hairs, and that he will be convicted.

The shear number of elected officials who are "multimillionaires" is staggering... They aren't all old money or trust fund babies, so you figure out how they have made off so well from their so called investments! Nothing at all to do with the "good ol boys network"... Nothing at all!

People associated with the Clinton cartel have a habit of getting whacked. I can only imagine the Cuomo crime family has a peace treaty with the Clintons.

I understand that Collins did not profit from any insider trading but we will see. I am skeptical of any small potatoes securities investigation after the number of politicians who have significantly profited during and after their tenure. Where are the investigations in to personal individual profits and gains from anti 2A progressive politicians Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (111 Million),
John Forbes Kerry (200 Million),
Jon Stevens Corzine (300Million),
Al Gore (200 Million),
John Delaney (~100 Million),
Mark Robert Warner (~100 Million),
Richard Blumenthal (~75 Million),
Scott Peters (~50 Million),
Alan Grayson (~50 Million),
Susan Rice (~50 Million),
Suzan DelBene (~35 Million),
Nancy Pelosi (~35 Million)
or for that matter Michael Bloomberg? Just Saying.

I can name a few in congress who are not rich and I believe are patriots. All ran as conservative republicans and are pro 2A. It is interesting that all of them have committed to limiting their terms. There are some more that are between one one and 2 million but most of that is their home, car, and personal IRA or 401k retirement accounts and include their working spouse. Most all of these, who I believe are honest, have a working spouse or modest pension (retirement or disability). Some actually sleep on a cot in their office or rent in DC with roommates. Way too many others are filthy rich and been in office too long.

anyone who thinks that ALL politicians don't use their office to pad their own wealth is delusional. Collins was just dumb enough to get caught

Average House race (not a highly contested or expensive media market) will cost $2+ million, average House pay $174,000 annually.
So do the math, all day is basically spent dialing for dollars (b/c you are also expected to donate big to the party itself besides raising money for your own campaign fund).
I do not care anymore, I do not care if they find dead hookers in his freezer, he stood tall for the Bill of Rights (2nd Amendment), he did not do it b/c the NRA had to bribe him, Collins defended the US Constitution/gun rights because it was the right thing to do.
If I were on the jury he would never be convicted.

His entire family and friends sold the stock.
How stupid these guys can be to be doing something like that?
I know,... I know.... the others do the same. This is so obvious thought that it seems he lost his mind or something.
