Thats Odd........Diane Frankenstein also is involved and her name isn’t mentioned.
well, there is a loophole for them. STOCK Act was passed in 2012 but the very next year Congress wrote a bypass where they can work the stock market with their info, they just have to file a form within 45 days of their stock activity, the hitch is that their record is on hard copy only and stored in the MASSIVE documents storage facility in DC and you can only get access to the docs by going directly to the facility in DC and request the specific form. You cant go fishing online for the dirt, its only in DC. In the civilian world, people like CEOs and the like have to file these documents which are available online to anyone.
The only way to save the Republic is term limits. No more than 2 terms for any elected official, if that’s the rule for the President, it should be the rule for ANY elected official. The founders never meant for career professional politicans.
This is one of those questionable “conservative” sights. Treat all with skepticism until you feel them out.
I recall reading somewhere a couple of years ago that it is not illegal for Congress-critters to use their insider info to invest.
okay then, Tar and Feather them!
If we are at war these are WAR CRIMES and should be additionally prosecuted as such to the fullest extent.
If these bastards wanted protection against being constrained by inside information they should have put their assets into a blind trust and taken their chances just like the rest of us.
Both the House and Senate ethics rules provide ample room to punish insider trading—and, arguably, did so even before the passage of the STOCK Act.

And i’m sure there are plenty of rules to punish people who store Top Secret (if not more highly classified) information on a server in their basement. Doesn’t mean there will be any punishment. But we can dream.
I know it’s only a pipe dream, but Martha Stewart went to prison for this, and these pieces of shit need to do the same!
Actually reading the article would be violating Freeper tradition...
Did you read the article?
They are not supposed to be—whether they ever are fined or jailed like Martha Stewart is another story and very improbable...
