“Sen. Rand Paul’s wife: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul waited more than a year to disclose that his wife purchased stock in a company that makes a COVID-19 treatment, an investment made after Congress was briefed on the threat of the virus but before the public was largely aware of its danger.
The Republican filed a mandatory disclosure Wednesday revealing on Feb. 26, 2020, that Kelley Paul purchased $1,001 to $15,000 worth of stock in Gilead, which makes the antiviral drug remdesivir. Under a 2012 law called the Stock Act, any such sale should have been reported within 45 days.”
Well, given that he hasn't said boo about Ivermectin or HCQ when he could have had the head of the FDA and CDC standing tall in front of a Senate committee answering tough questions about why they are hiding the cures, I guess I'm not totally surprised.
I think this is really a nothing burger. First $1,000 to $15,000 in a stock purchase is a fairly meager in a large portfolio. Also, does she actually direct which stocks her financial investment company picks? I know that we don’t. I leave it to my advisor to manage except for the one stock we asked her to purchase from the company we retired from. Other than that, I couldn’t tell you what stocks she’s buying until we get our statements. So without knowing how involved Kelley Paul is with managing her stock portfolio, seems to me to be just an attempted hit job. My opinion.
In the overall scheme of things...yeah....not a huge deal, except it just demonstrates how NO public official should be allowed to own anything in any company they are making decisions over.
No blind trusts....nothing, no family members either.
Well actually that's not feasible. First, we've seen how Biden (and others) just launder it through family members. Second, is that what we want????people that have to give up all that they have to serve in office? The real answer is term limits at all levels of government and total transparency. It would also help if we had a media that wasn't corrupt and the people paid better attention.,,,and probably none of that will ever happen.
I covered the family part already....
Yes, the Founders wanted businessmen and shopkeepers to spend a limited time in government.
I thought there werent any effective treatments and that is why we have to have a EUA? I could be confused, but this doesn't seem consistent?!
Ya - this is not the same category but still a bit shady. Had she purchased Phizer or Moderna then I would be pissed.
Finally someone who doesnt suck Rand Paul's cock.
Pat yourself on the back, Patriot. Uniparty knows no bounds.
Ugh!
Don't you think with him suddenly stepping into the spotlight that he is gearing up to run for president?
Straw man argument ....no one said that.
Not at all...maybe it will wake people up. If people do t want masks.... are a stand, refuse to wear a mask. If people want politicians to stop profiting off inside information, it ALL needs to stop. I like Rand, but didn’t expect this from him.
I like Jim Jordan, but he still takes big tech money....we need to demand better, and not ignore the small infractions.
Source? Which is worse that she did it or that he didn't report it?
That the money turned out not to be 1.000.000 or 10.000.000, like in the case of Nancy P. Lousy, house drinker.
What part of this do you all still not understand? To get to the level of power he and his father have gotten to, and stay there, you have to play the game.
Their system doesn't work unless they control "both sides."
I don't understand what you know about Dr. Ron Paul. His level of power as you put it was EARNED. He didn't play the game. If he did he would have been President and not have the GOP STEAL THE NOMINATION FROM HIM. His nick name around Capitol hill was Dr. No. He is as honest a politician as there ever was. He was compared to a modern version of Thomas Jefferson truly an exception to our ruling class. Read some of his books. He was for reducing the size of government and wanted to abolish the fed and shut down useless government agencies such as the department of education, energy and others. He is in no way corrupt.
So you don't think there can be corrupt or evil priest either huh?
Quick add edit: No Name used to be considered a hero too....
No name when he was chairman of the Armed Services Committee had it within his power to bring back ALL THE MIA's in Southeast Asia and did NOTHING. He was untrustworthy since the fire on the Forrestal in the Navy. When a guest of the North Vietnamese his nick name was SONGBIRD. He was a POS. And I'm Catholic by birth and I don't trust fuckin' bead jigglers at all. I don't remember mentioning religion. How is that relevant to Dr. Paul?
Q warned us about the people we are taught to trust. Like government and priests/religion. It was an example. Sorry if it was a stretch for you as a comparison.
Suck Rands disk for all I care but I will never trust any career politician or their family members. I have seen too much from inside the mind of power players and brokers.
Look ED I don't suck disk. I campaigned for Dr. Paul in 2012. I discerned for myself that he was genuine. Understand no Q then. There are exceptions to Q rule. Try thinking outside the box sometime and use your intellect.
I will take that under advisement. Where do you stand on term limits if I may inquire?
All for term limits to oust the career parasites. Actually Dr.Paul and Walter Jones from North Carolina are the only two I can find that were honest Reps throughout their terms. So only two for any argument for term limits. Pretty pathetic yes?
It’s not the amount, it is just more evidence all politicians take advantage of this...and these loopholes should be closed. Yes....this is very low on the scale compared to what democrats do....but no politician should do this...
I would say: congrats on your suspicions. No go, and verify, instead of leaving it at hit jobs. Try and find something dishonorable in Ron's case.
Also, he voted to certify the electors. That is dishonorable in my opinion.
Have you read any of DEVOLUTION? It's entirely possible that Rand Paul and others we thought were for Constitutionality were told to let whats happening happen. If it's a sting they would have to let certain things play out in spite of what it looks like.
Yes, I know this is a possibility. One I hope for. But I honestly feel most of these career or long time politicians are only helping because they are required to.
More like informants on a deal than allies.
Could be but we can only wait and see for the most part. Until it's necessary to get active. Amazing times ahead.
I am talking about Ron, not Rand.
As many have observed, he is not his father. A truesism as self evident like: all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienble rights, among which are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that government's are instituted among men to secure these rights, and that whenever such government becomes detrimental to that cause, it is the right of the people, it is their duty, to abolish such government, and lay it's foundation on such principles as to them seem most effecting their future security and happiness.
Rand, well, he is a peculiar fellow, and clearly has a different agenda and probably compromised on certain topics, depending on his perceived vulnerabilities. Meaning, you can't totally trust him, despite him standing up for certain matters relating to the protection of rights. Think filibuster regarding issues pertaining to the 4th and 5th amendment. Or now his call to resist these mandates.
And he ain't Dr.No.
