Okay, so you already know about about Republican Chris Collins being arrested for insider trading with stocks called Innate Immunotherapeutics.

My favorite part was when a CNN legal analyst called it “dumbest insider trading crime” he’d ever seen. I mean, that’s saying something considering that his competition for that title is Martha Stewart.

Now here comes the fun blow back.

Mullins

Oklahoma Republican Rep. Markwayne Mullin, has had the bad news fairy visit his bank account. Mullen’s financial report in January of 2017 said he had between $100,000 and $250,00 in Innate stock, no doubt recommended by his fellow congressman. But, bless his heart. Yesterday, he filed his financial report and, oops, that stock is now worth $1,000 to $15,000.

And it’s not like Mullins didn’t totally deserve something like this happening.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

UPDATE.  Holy cow, Markwayne is really having a very bad day.

The House Ethics Committee announced Friday that Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) will have to repay $40,000 to his family plumbing business following a roughly five-year investigation.

Damn, I bet he’s glad it’s Friday.
