We need to start a pool.

How many out of 535 members of Congress broke insider trading laws?

I’ve got 535.

Insider trading is when critical information about a corporation affecting its stock value is about to be made and is withheld from the public view then released after executing a stock sale or purchase.It didn’t happen here. If any of the critics here were an elected somebody.In that position after learning in a public discussion they could lose big money and they’re expected to do so because they are an elected somebody, is expecting a bit too much.

Throw these crooks in prison.

What's the point? They're releasing prisoners.

I believe Feinstein was involved as well.

Feinsten will meet her Creator soon. So that justice is taken care of.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.

If their cronies don’t somehow get them out of it.

Maybe I’m wrong...but don’t house and senate members have immunity when it comes to purchasing or selling stock? I believe they do. They can take any information they receive to buy or sell stocks with no ramifications at all.

Maybe there's some legal technicality they can get off on here on earth.

But facing God's court is going to be a whole different matter.

Their day of reckoning is coming, but I do have to say that it would be nice to actually see some justice down here on earth, too.

...if those 4 go, it will be a rushed Impeachement

Congress impeaches with a simple majority. The Senate convicts/removes the impeached with 2/3 majority.

I think it would be doubtful to remove these senators through the House impeachment and Senate conviction/removal process. However, the scenario you described is plausible and disturbing.

They face nothing. They are part of a larger plan that everyone in government is doing.

Phase 1 was gaslighting the sheeple into thinking they will die without government intervention.

Phase 2 is control the people and shutdown their businesses.

Phase 3 is government providing payment for business rents and payroll.

Phase 4 is the government simply stating that since the government already pays for everything that the government now owns the businesses.

Communism complete: Total control of the sheeple and a complete takeover of commerce.

Their families got exempted, not the politicians themselves with the insider trading bill. And there you have the rub.

They will face great pressure to resign and I’m not so sure the immunity from prosecution while in office will hold. If they decide to resign to cut their losses, the DOJ may still decline to prosecute knowing that that they’ll have to look at “everyone” and half the congress and the senate would be found to be guilty of something and would have to leave....which might not be a bad thing.

I wonder how many presstitutes did the same thing...

How many members of the media engaged in WuFlu-related insider trading?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Congresscritters largely exempted themselves from insider trading laws.

I wonder how many people in Wisconsin who voted for Ron Johnson knew that he had possibly $25 Million in stock holdings?

That is pretty rich for Wisconsin standards.
