    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene�s latest stock splurge may pose a second
    conflict of interest after the conservative firebrand invested in
    cybersecurity tech despite serving on a House subcommittee dedicated to oversight and accountability within the technology industry.

    The Georgia Republican made six purchases of CrowdStrike Holdings,
    totaling between $6,006 and $90,000, on June 24, according to her
    financial disclosures obtained by Raw Story.

    CrowdStrike is helping the Department of Defense manage their
    cybersecurity operations, which could inappropriately link Green to the contract.

    Purchasing stocks from a cybersecurity company could potentially cause a conflict of interest due to Greene�s position on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability�s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology and Government Innovation.

    This is at least the second time this year that Green�s piggy bank has
    been tied to technology trades that pose questions of conflicts of
    interest. She also reportedly invested up to $15,000 in tech goliath
    Microsoft back in May. Green also purchased up to $15,000 of Qualcomm
    stock, which is a federal defense contractor, while serving on the
    influential Homeland Security Committee and the Subcommittee on Border
    Security and Enforcement.

    Greene�s latest purchases also include from stock from athleisure company lululemon, cost-cutting warehouse Costco, and the chocolate-milk maker
    Nestle, Raw Story reported.

    A bipartisan group of senators introduced the �ETHICS Act� last week to
    ban members of Congress, their partners, and dependents from trading
    individual stocks. Similar efforts to add teeth to restrictions on Congressional stock trading have repeatedly failed.

    Raw Story said Greene�s congressional spokesperson, Nick Dyer,
    �acknowledged Raw Story�s questions about her financial disclosure but did
    not answer them.�

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

    President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.

    The difference is MTG will land in prison while Pelosi, who has been running the stock scam for decades will never be prosecuted.
    That's how our government work.

    And yes, both should be investigated if there is any grain of truth to the claims.
