"In the process of preparing to file his annual financial disclosure for last year, he learned that the form was not transmitted and promptly alerted the filing office and requested their guidance. In accordance with that guidance he filed both reports today." "The senator ought to have an explanation for the trade and, more importantly, why it took him almost a year and a half to discover it from his wife," James Cox, a law professor at Duke University, toldThe coronavirus pandemic brought congressional stock trading activity into sharp focus when a number of lawmakers

this is how connected politicians get ahead - the lucrative side hustle ... getting family to make buys and sells ... ahead of information being made public

CNN is reporting Rand Paul has posted positive for Covid. Now he’ll know why he should have been vaccinated, if he survives.

Obama and Hillary get out with hundreds of millions but this is 🗞 news!I am shocked 😳 that u did not suggest electrical chair for RP😂😂😂

When her husband Rand Paul got COVID 19 or before that

I don’t buy that he prepares or follows up on any of his own paperwork. If it didn’t go where it was supposed to it’s because he didn’t disclose it to whomever does prepare it.

TeamPelosi husband is profiting millions monthly from INSIDER TRADING! where is that story?

Now do Nancy Pelosi’s stock purchases. And her husband.

I’m looking for Rand.

And now you know why he doesn’t want sheep to wear masks, he looses business.

larry411 Of course. Why do you think he's so gung-ho against any kind of prevention. There's no money in prevention.

I would imagine everyone in DC did something to financially profit off our demise in fact SpeakerPelosi may be most corrupted politician in our lifetime and she’s going to do nothing to stop the insider trading and AOC and FraudSquad will also do nothing

Omg!😯

She invested between $1K and $15K and lost money.

So when will he get arrested?

Another freaking snake 🐍 There just seems to be way too many of them lately 😕

The deceit in society never ends

Now we know why his against masks and vaccines they are not good for business he needs people in the hospital so they can be prescribed this EXPERIMENTAL drug!

Sounds like a RandPaul case of selective memory, something we all expect from a so called physician.

Political_Lisa If it's so damned good then why can't everyone get it? Why is it reserved for the most powerful? Trump called it a 'miracle drug' like he was 'saying screw you peasants you can't get it' then Trump turned around and secretly took the vaccine we use. I think Remdesivir is a hoax.

Why 26 months later🤔🤔🤔

Even if this is true which it very well could be. What did he ask fauci that he wasn’t right about? smearcampaign

Meh, just normal petty corruption for a US senator.

The more I learn about Rand Paul the more I believe his neighbour deserves the medal of honour.

No wonder he doesn't like masks and vaccines.

This is 100% criminal!

And there will be no repercussions whatsoever. Because of course there won't.
