The story is on February 7th, 2020, he wrote an op-ed with another senator saying, hey, Americans, don't worry. COVID's not that bad. We're keeping an eye on it. Everything will be okay. While he has and writes that op-ed, he's getting insider kind of details because he sat as the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee while he was writing that op-ed.

So while sitting as the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he's getting private meetings saying, hey, guys, COVID is actually way worse than we think. This is not going to end the same way that people expect. be ready for some sort of rapid response.

Exactly. And he was tasked with partly like, get ready for a response. You know, like once COVID hits, we think this is going to be bad. Get ready for a response. Have your materials ready to tackle this situation. So he probably knew the severity of it. to a 10x what the everyday American and also probably what other senators and representatives did as well.

So if you follow the timeline, though, February 7th is when he wrote that op-ed. February 13th is the day that he went and he sold off $1.65 million of his entire retirement account. So a week after he told the American, not only just a normal kind of investment account, his retirement account, he sold the whole thing.

No, no, no, no. Yeah, the retirement account is something you don't touch. Those are the simply buy and hold, never touch them forever. But selling off that to that degree is extreme. And I think is what caught a lot of people's attention of like... You don't just do that. You know what? Yeah. You don't just do that while you're the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, you know?

But to make this, this is why I get passionate about. It's like, I'm not even a political guy. I'll tell you the whole story of how this started. I didn't grow up being obsessed with politics. I just, citizen journalists kind of see the opportunity and be like, this is fucked up. We should stop this. The story though then goes, February 13th, he sells off 1.65 million.

30 minutes later, he calls his brother-in-law. And him and his brother-in-law have around a two-minute conversation. The brother-in-law hangs up the phone, calls his financial advisor. His financial advisor doesn't pick up. He then calls his second financial advisor. They pick up. They have around a 30-second conversation. He then goes off and sells off $265,000 of his own portfolio.

So now you got the senator, who's the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, calling up his brother-in-law, them having a conversation, and then the brother-in-law going and selling off 30 seconds after that conversation. Now, I don't, that's sketchy as hell to me.
