So after hearing more about this, Burr looks dirty AF.
Burr was telling people how great everything was in public while getting hearings and sold off the largest one day trading (33 separate trades) of his stock since 2016. And is not seeking re-election in 2022.

Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), another lawmaker who drew scrutiny, said she was not at the meeting either and her husband oversees the portfolio.
Except her husband happened to sell 27 sales on the day (Feb 27th) she had her hearing on it, and bought up Citrix and Oracle who are expecting a boost from telecommuting.
Feinsteins was at the end of January. and again on Feb 18th, selling Allogene Therapeutics (Biotech Co). I would be curious if they have a breakdown of how much they buy sell and how statistically significant of a difference these sales were for them.
