A dramatic video, initially produced by James O’Keefe of O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), exposed jaw-dropping levels of utterly infuriating, alleged insider trading by three Democratic United States lawmakers. They allegedly used privileged committee information to make massive stock market gains.
In the viral clip, he details Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Viasat purchase before NASA/Department of Defense contracts, which caused a dramatic stock rise after the trade; likewise, Rep. Susie Lee’s Rheinmetall buy, which is up 250%; and Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s Badger Meter investment tied to EPA mandates, which is up 40%.
Announcing the scandal on social media and including the clip of O’Keefe exposing it, one conservative account posted, “BREAKING – Three Democrats, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Rep. Susie Lee, and Sen. Mark Warner, who sit on committees controlling defense, environmental, and public works spending, have been caught buying stocks tied to those sectors, seeing gains of up to 250 percent.”
Starting off the dramatic clip, the OMG reporter noted, “Back in November, we noticed representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz buying stock in a company called ViaSat. And we really caught our eye because it was the first time we’d seen her buy the stock. It was the first time we’d seen any member buy the stock.”
Continuing, the same source revealed, “Okay, so Debbie Wasserman Schultz sits on the Appropriations Committee and the Subcommittee on military construction. That’s not a good look, right off the bat. And then in December, it was announced that Viasat would be awarded part of a $4 billion NASA contract, and the stock just rose.”
Still not done, the investigation kept going. “Looks like they got another big contract, also with the Department of Defense, right after the NASA contract. A couple of years ago, we saw a representative, Susie Lee, by stock in a company called Reinmetal,” the video noted.
Offering context to this explosive allegation, the video stated, “[It] is a German defense contract[or], which, I mean that they rang the line bells for us, because it’s like it was a stock we hadn’t seen any members trade before, and obviously very tied into US defense policy.”

Piling on more damning allegations, the OMG noted, “It’s like they’re doing a lot of work with the Army League Bank modernization. I bet there’s big money in that. Susie Lee sat on a committee on military construction, and since then, the stocks like, I think, 250%.”
Blasting the corrupt Democrats at the center of this scandal, the OMB noted, “Last year, we saw Senator Mark Wayne Mullen buy stock in a company called Badger Meter, which really caught our attention, because Badger Meter makes automated water meters, and Senator Marco and Mullen sit on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.”
Concluding, he video noted, “We learned that the EPA had recently passed a mandate, basically encouraging cities to switch to automated water meters. The year following the trade, bedroom media stock rose around 40% before Senator Monning closed his position.”

In the comments under this video, one conservative asked, “When will members of Congress ever be held legally accountable for their insider trading?” Agreeing, another added, “Greed has taken over far too many of our elected officials.”
