Sen. Kelly Loeffler is removing herself from a Senate Agriculture subcommittee, in an effort to quell ongoing scrutiny over her stock trades and finances

.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Georgia Republican, said the decision to leave the subcommittee on commodities, risk management and trade was another way to demonstrate transparency.“It’s now abundantly clear that the media and her adversaries will stop at nothing to attack her and take away from the important work taking place during this public health care crisis,” Loeffler’s spokesperson said.

"What about the Agriculture Committee? The Joint Economic Committee? The U.S. Senate?," asked Dan McLagan, Collins' spokesperson. "She has five conflicts of interest before her first chai latte every day and her campaign is starting to look like a ‘Saturday Night Live‘ sketch." Loeffler came under fire in March for selling off millions of dollars in stocks after receiving a classified briefing on the coronavirus in January. She has defended herself by saying the stock sales were made by a third party adviser. In April, Loeffler took her defense a step further and pledged to liquidate all of her individual stock holdings.

 

Merci pour votre commentaire. Votre commentaire sera publié après examen.

she had all the insider information, and pretend to question CDC Dr. Robert Redfield; however, she got the information that CDC knew everything, which obviously SHE knows too, which why she sold all her stocks. Shame of those US Senators

She’s a criminal

She needs to remove herself from the Senate and face the inside of a courtroom. To blatantly break the law is to say the rule of law doesn't apply to me. She sold, then lied to her constituents - this behavior must be held out as an example and punished severely.

maddow Do not stop the scrutiny. I wonder, when she ran for election, did she show her tax returns?

Oh, well that'll definitely erase the insider-trading thing. kellyloeffler should remove herself from the United States Senate, which she clearly views as a profit center.

That will fix everything.

Lock her ass up- she knew the rules- how come white folks didn’t like playing by the rules but complain when others don’t?

Even if she removed herself from the senate, she’s still a criminal!

She's still a Criminal. Waiting prosecution, SenatorLoeffler should resign now. She belongs in jail, not in Senate.

Surely charges are forthcoming? Bahahaha! This country is screwed.

What’s wrong with me? I feel quilt if I try a grape before I buy it!!!

Now she will need Clarence Beeks to get her info on pork bellies and orange futures.

maddow Corruption all the way to the top

maddow Do the honorable thing and resign.

maddow She would have been more successful as a porn actress

maddow No quelling shall happen. Be a big girl and own up, then resign because your credibility is now nonexistent. When you are greedy and corrupt and exposed, it is time to quit pretending you can represent others. You are disgusting and shameful.

maddow Not enough. Give the money you made to all the people unemployed! Resign you horrible person!

maddow Will she be convicted of insider trading?

About time!

Lock her up. Too little to late.

Insider Trading information was spilled.

maddow If only the voter do their job in removing her from her cushy job

She should resign and face a court for insider trading, much like Martha Stewart did.

What courage!

727hopealways Not enough, she should be impeached from Senate!

All representatives participate in insider trading. It’s legal for them. Look it up

maddow Too little, too late.

maddow How about just removing herself from the Senate. Another unfit GOPer.

She needs to remove herself from the senate!

maddow Up next? Remove her from office. Completely.

Dirty republicans......meanwhile her constituents keep suffering and running to the unemployment lines.....oh....well..

I don't think that is going to do it...

SenatorLoeffler NEEDS TO RESIGN with Investigation/Indictment/Prosecution to Follow!

She’s toast. UnqualifiedGOP

Good, she should remove herself from the senate as well as a civilized society. She is a puke

Guess she'll just have to console herself with $$$$$$$$. We need a Democratic Senator--actually TWO of them--for Georgia. AJCGaPolitics

Nice move, but when will the Ethics Committee take up her unlawful transactions?

maddow Wakeup America

JeanRui2 She should remove herself from the Senate along with the other corrupt no-good-doers!!

maddow Doesn't want to lose everything?

Why should the scrutiny stop?

Why isn't she arrested already?

LoefflerSen Never elected Always corrupt

maddow She is a Trumper!

Isn’t that a case of too little too late?

maddow ahem...cough....LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP

maddow John Q Public would be arrested for insider trading, why is the law different for dirty politicians? We as citizens should demand these insider traders be brought to Justice!!!

She needs to be removed from the Senate, investigated, convisted and jailed.

She can run but cannot hide..she made illegal insider trades

So long, Senator Felicia.

Too Late! Come on Republicans! Step up and boot her out! dumpgop

maddow So is this going to go down like Trump's sister, who had to step down or face prosecution for dodging taxes? Step down and you get a 'get out of jail free card' as long as you're a Republican. Continuing to Make America Great!

She should be removed from the Senate. She’s using it to enrich herself, not to help her constituents...tho I imagine she helps constituents who fork over the cashola. That’s what KellyLoeffler is all about...self enrichment.

Might be a little late for that, Kelly...

Evil always tries to hid

maddow sen loeffler (a joke post) should remove herself from congress, washington dc, and wherever else she can do harm to the rest of us

It's not scrutiny, it's a fact. She's crooked like the rest of the GOP Senate

Too late. The crime has already been committed.

Traitor

Lock her up!

She needs to remove herself from the entire political scene

“demonstrate transparency”. It’s to late for that Kelly Loeffler. You demonstrate transparency(integrity) prior to being caught committing the crime. GOP truly all think that they are above our laws.

Now remove yourself from the Senate.

maddow

This should be: “Sen. Kelly Loeffler is removing herself”

senatemajldr SenSchumer why aren’t you investigating SenatorLoeffler for illegal insider trading?

Distance makes things go away? Only in DC.

Now she can remove herself from the Senate.

abramson1234 SenatorLoeffler needs to be in jail. She is a criminal.

How about she recuse herself completely from government? I think that might be the better answer.

Investigate now... no one is above the law

Too late...she already committed the crime.

SenatorLoeffler needs to remove herself from Gov’t. Removing herself from the committee is NOT ENOUGH!! She also needs to be investigated and likely incarcerated! ResignKellyLoeffler

If you have to recuse yourself from a committee because of your stock holdings. You have no business in public service.... FULL STOP

Republicans

maddow She needs to recuse herself from the Senate altogether.

Let her roll around in agriculture (aka shit)

She will lose.

You have less then 48 hrs to put on your BEARachute.

She needs to remove herself from the Senate...:

maddow Not sure she learned about CoVid19 and bailed on her stock holdings based on what she learned in her ag subcommittee. In fact, this might be the subcommittee where she would most likely be able to learn what Georgia’s small farmers need.

miss_xlna She needs to step down & be be investigated for insider trading

Still not enough to stop the coming investigation of insider trading!

maddow Throw her in jail!

Not good enough. She should have already resigned long ago.

She needs to be in prison as soon as possible.

maddow Pelosi did insider trading and nothing was done

Martha Stewart still went to jail for the same!!!

SenatorLoeffler greedy loser COVIDIOT

She's already made money off of Death-By-Virus so rescuing herself from a committee is hardly enough.

Why are republicans so bold in criminal activities? Supposedly whites were the natives, where would this country be? They always plant judges who they want to protect them in their criminal activities. This is a scheme to defraud America and the ignorant republican supporters.

Perhaps she can also remove herself from the senate?

I have disagreements with RepDougCollins but I think he is well on his way to unseating her. Well played well executed plan. He ran against the Republican party and laughing in their faces.

maddow Lock her up Deplorables

Great, she is doing even less of a job. Why should she have it in the first place? CorruptGOP

PamelaK65915245 Not enough. She should be prosecuted like Chris Collins was. GOPCorruptionOverCountry

“I close my eyes so you can’t see me!”

Too late

A LITTLE TO LATE ! INDICT HER FOR SECURITIES FRAUD !

maddow You should see her new commercials blaming the “liberals” for her getting caught dumping while simultaneously orchestrating photo ops with the few things she thinks she did good last month.

SenLoeffler We still see you. We see what you did. You are a disgrace and we will not forget. Profiting off this pandemic Burn in hell.

maddow She should walk off the planet.

Don't ya just love how all her photos are posed w/fans blowing her hair, just like Ivanka & Melanoma! Barbie, slightly over the hill!

More time to meet with her lawyers,

maddow Oh, she’s still going to be scrutinized. 😂

maddow She should resign ! As should Sen. Burr !

maddow Resign you crooked tool!

Another GOP grifter and criminal using her public office for personal gain. There is something in the water in Georgia because it’s citizens and elected officials are saying and doing hideous and ignorant things.

Wouldn’t it be easier if she just recused herself from the Senate?

She really should step aside.

Won’t work! 😳

She should remove herself from the Senate.

Can she also remove herself from the Senate? I'd really appreciate it.

Only a stupid person wouldn’t think what this senator did wasn’t illegal

thomaskaine5 too late

Remove herself from the senate

BradleyWhitford Lol LockHerUp

She needs to remove herself from the Senate - she’s a criminal doing insider trading while serving in Congress. Why is she still in office?

Why isn't she in jail yet?

Vote 4 Joe cause Hunter needs money !!!! I understand that Obama approves this message. Under demoncrats guidances, the creepy uncle is a rapist, but who cares the double standard?

More important issues. LEGAL!

Piss Cat

Because we’ll stop caring if she committed insider trading if she doesn’t serve on a particular committee?

She should remove herself from Congress.

Throw her and any member of Congress out.

It won’t work Dear.

BradleyWhitford Resign.

She needs to remove herself from the Senate

She should be in jail.

Did she just invest in chicken futures?

Move her to a prison cell

Investigate her!!

Good start.

Bye Kell

She and her husband should be in prison.

She should just remove herself from the senate

Not good enough. LockHerUp

She belongs in prison, not in the Senate.

KLoeffler ajc RonJohnsonWI JimInhofe senatemajldr theobserver KTULNews SenateGOP SenatorBurr Just RESIGN & take Burr, Inhofe and Johnson with you!!

Lock her up!!!!

Why does a woman who is so wealthy want to be a senator? you have to ask yourself, why she wants this job so bad , I seriously doubt she cares about the constituents

She should be a talking head for FOX. Getting by on being blond and looks doesn't guarantee long term success nor does it equal smart.

She should resign. It is bs that she still holds a senate seat.

She should go to prison LockHerUp

I believe she will need to recuse herself from the senate. no healthcare, no pension and she should have to pay back the money she stole from the american people.

Isn't the horse already out of the barn? I mean, they are investigating her trades BEFORE she recused herself. That's the only way it counts. LockHerUp

Loeffler is Unelected. Loeffler is UnfitForOffice.

Lock Loeffler up and all the other Stock Market Insiders in Washington DC..

Look deeper into her personal life.

MarthaStewart went to prison for less. KLoeffler needs to pay the price. Simply resigning from a committee is not enough. She needs to resign from the Senate in disgrace.

She should resign

Hey SenatorLoeffler it would be easier if you just resign.

She should just remove herself from the Senate.

She made her money, it's time to lay low for a while.

She needs to be gone!

BradleyWhitford She should recuse herself from the Senate & into a jail cell.

She needs to step down after being arrested for insider trading

BradleyWhitford Why haven’t Burr and Loeffler (both Republicans) resigned? Ridiculous that these criminals go unchecked through the system. If this were a average taxpayer, they would be in Jail. As a taxpayer myself, shouldn’t justice be served?

BradleyWhitford Let me fix this. Her INSIDER TRADING

A subcommittee?!?! Until she removes resigns from the Senate, is brought up on charges, and sent to jail it won’t be enough. She isn’t quelling anything.

Just remove yourself from office... it’s called resigning.

Of course. She has harvested her financial fields. The crops of covid corpses have lined her pockets.

She can't represent Georgia's farmers if she has to recuse herself from the committees that make decisions that affect them.

She should be in jail for insider trading.

That ain’t going to do it.

golf clap?

BradleyWhitford Investigate, Indict, Impeach, Incarcerate, rinse and repeat

She needs to remove herself from office. She has absolutely no business in a position of public trust.

She already knows she's guilty. Both Dems and Republicans have said so. She's not getting re-elected so she's toast! Thoughts and prayers!

Know what would quell it? SEC giving her a clean bill of health.

Loeffler needs to step down from the senate

Nothing is quelled.

Keep removing yourself and resign. You’re a criminal SenatorLoeffler

Yes that should quell the concerns she is an unethical Trump-o-phant grifter

Sorry, how does this help?

It's still insider trading. It's still a crime. Shes busted and should be indicted.

The senate will be 55 dems at this rate

BradleyWhitford She needs to remove herself from the senate, or we will

If SenatorLoeffler would just resign it would be a lot better.
