UPDATE: A friend on Facebook posts:

Chris Plante just read a news story about Sens. Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler, both Republicans, selling a lot of stock right before the bottom fell out. I didn’t catch what news outlet published the story, but he pointed out that it went on and on for 22 paragraphs, and then, in the 23rd paragraph, it reported that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, had sold much more stock than either of them. “That’s not journalism, that’s a cover-up,” Plante said.

As usual. Doesn’t get them off the hook for abuse of power, but it does put the press on it.
