After Melvin CapitalĀ testifiedĀ lied on 2/18/21, Congresswoman Katharine Manning (D) of North Carolina, decided to invest in Melvin Capital 2-weeks after the hearings. What do you think Ms. Manning did prior to beingĀ elected by the peopleĀ to Congress? Iām sure you can take a wild guessā¦
Okay - now letās just take a minute and let this sink inā¦marinate on it. So whatās the big deal?
A sitting Congress(wo)man investedĀ in the same hedge fundĀ that the Financial Services Committee called on to testify, under oath, 2-weeks before. Tin-foil hat theory - I have no basis in factual data to prove the following statement but it sure would seem like the perfect time to start a little collusion rendezvousā, no?
Now letās look at the flipside and see if itās realistic this is all an innocent misunderstanding. For Melvin, this sum of money isnāt materialā¦probably the same for Kathy. So letās say she was living under a rock and had no idea what the hell was going on w/Melvin Capital earlier in 2021. Hmmm. Okay, I could see that. I understand. Itās an honest mistake. We all make them,Ā right?
Itās not like the Gamestop Saga was on the news constantly, articles didnāt flood the internet and, most importantlyā¦there werenāt any Congressional Hearings related to it.
Oh wait - ALL OF THAT HAPPENED! Kathy would have to be stupid, inept, or wrecklessā¦none of which are traits I want in an elected official. The point is, I donāt see any way there could be an innocent explanation. The decision here clearly confirms she sees no conflict of interest and more importantly, itās a blatantĀ go fuck yourself to each and every voter who does see a conflict of interest.
If we continue voting scumbags like this in office, we deserve every mother fucking thing we get.
Edit #1:Ā Manning has solicited and received donations from a LOT of institutional investors. These are just from the first 2 pages.
Yep, thatās the same Google ex-CEO Eric Schmidt
