Sen. Loeffler Finally Adopts Transparency, Divests From Stocks
It’s hard to not feel sympathy for Senator Loeffler after reading her woe-is-me op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. Still, it’s a good thing she’s finally doing what the honorable Senator should have done four months ago by divesting herself from her stock holdings. I mean, it isn’t as if elected officials should go above and beyond what is required to prove they aren’t acting to enrich themselves.
Hey, it’s a tough job being Senator!
Will this bring an end to the “media fixation” on Sen. Loeffler? Considering how poorly she and her staff have handled this, the answer is no.

I guess she could have technically kept abusing her position to enrich herself. Good for her for quitting while she was only $18 million ahead (and before stocks tanked.). Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered. Not quite sure what $18M makes you.
There’s a distinct whiff about her trading, but $18.7M in trades isn’t the same as making “a cool $18.7M.”
