We have long had laws, criminal and civil, against insider trading. They are rarely if ever enforced against CongressCritters. Perhaps the comprehensively incomprehensible legislation should include a special exemption from non-prosecution for CongressCritters.

Actually Congress was completely exempt from insider trading laws until 2012 when they temporarily weren’t exempt for a few months, and then renewed the exemption in 2013.
