Republican Senator Richard Burr admitted Monday night to instructing his wife to withdraw the maximum amount she could from their bank accounts in successive nights the week the financial crisis began. As a member of the Senate he acted on information that wasn't available to the general pubic. He knew things we did not and he took action to protect his personal finances while citizens of North Carolina trusted he was acting in our best interest.
Burr was speaking to a group of constituents and his admission was made in the form of an anecdote told to presumably illustrate how he panicked at the onset of the economic crisis.
Based on this information, it sounds like he should face criminal charges! A grand jury and then a jury can sift through the facts and determine if he really is guilty.
