Pelosi and Boehner, flip sides of the same coin.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

“Laws against insider trading - making stock bets based on information the public doesn’t have - do not apply to Congress. [...] Legislation that would ban insider trading by members and staff has languished.”

Laws have become meaningless. Shame.

They’re innocent. I just can’t believe Pelosi and Boehner would do such a thing. /sarcasm.

The San Francisco Democrat and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, were questioned separately at their weekly news conferences Nov. 3 by reporter Steve Croft. Neither had granted Croft's previous requests for interviews. Croft asked both leaders about stock transactions they made while Congress was considering legislation that could affect the financial and insurance industries. Pelosi and Boehner vigorously denied any connection. This will turn out to be mostly about Boehner I bet.

The whole point of D’Anconia Copper was to get these leeches to put all their money into his company, which he subsequently crashed. Just sayin’.

Even if they find something huge its a one time story with no follow up by other media outlets.

The multi-millionaire investors own a large stake in an exclusive resort hotel in Wine Country, the Napa Valley Auberge Du Soleil Resort.

It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Peter Schweizer, author of “Do As I Say, (Not As I Do) – The Hypocrisy of Democrats” and a regular contributor to the New York Times.

Pelosi is also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees.

The chain is – you might have guessed — a non-union shop. It is a very high-end restaurant group with locations in Carmel, Sonoma and Danville to name just the locations I dined at.

‘60 Minutes’ hates princesses.

[BipolarBob]

Have Nancy Pelosi show you how to make 80% returns in the stock market. First you have to get elected to Congress, otherwise they’ll jail you for insider trading. Then pass bills that will enrich your portfolio and to heck with all of the “little people”. Go ahead Nancy, have your fun. There is a God. He has your number.

‘60 Minutes’ probes Pelosi’s investments [ in a desperate attempt to get Republicans to watch their fading show ]

[Graewoulf]

What does Princess Nancy own?

[Venturer]

These are the people who lead our country.

Pelosi as rich as Midas backing kids protesting rich people.

Pelosi with her most open Congress we ever saw LOL on that one.

[luvie]

Amazing that they would even bother. I’d love to see her kicked out! :)

[berdie]

Myself..I think she ticked off Steve Croft in a presser so he decided to do a story on her.

What ever works.

Love the last paragraph:

A bill by Reps. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., and Tim Walz, D-Minn. called the STOCK Act, or Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, would ban members of Congress and staff from insider trading. The legislation, which Pelosi supports, was first introduced in 2006 and has gone nowhere.

Odd how the author neglects to mention Pelosi had control of the House during that time.

You can bet repubs will be most prominent or this report would never happen.

None of this would really matter much if the federal government operated within the Founder’s original intent.
