Martha Stewart might have been given info to sell her stock before the stock's value crashed.
My question is, what was she supposed to do once she was given the advice?
NOT TAKE THE ADVICE???? Just pretend she never got the advice and watch her stock tumble?
If the information was freely given to her, and she did not in any way ask for it or demand it, what has she done wrong?
The answer, nothing.
So why is she under investigation?
It's Clinton all over again.
It's about Lying. But Lying about what? Lying about a situation that will make a public figure look bad.
NOT BECAUSE THEY BROKE A LAW!
This is More News fodder to entertain the masses. The key to this situation is how does the Department of Justice go after the person who gave out the stock tips without proof from those recieiving the stock tips?
Since they can't build a case without Martha Stewart fingering her friend, Martha Stewart now may face Insider Trader charges.
I think it's a joke. Martha Stewart should not be forced to answer such questions in the first place. If she didn't solicit illegal stock information, she shouldn't be tried for not revealing this information when asked for it by federal officials.
Martha Stewart should only be investigated if she had previously been notified about the illegalities of insider trading and had agreed to not partake in such activities.
