John Kerry made $2 million trading on confidential information he acquired as a member of a Senate committee.

The fedgov is utterly, completely, and irrevocably corrupt.

[PGR88]

The bigger a government becomes, the more corrupt it becomes as well

And we have a HUGE government.

Maybe Hillary is helping them with this. She seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to trading cattle futures...

Update: The SEC says it has an explanation. "Each of the transactions was individually reviewed and approved in advance by the Ethics office," said John Nester, spokesperson for the SEC. "Most of the sales were required by SEC policy. Staff had no choice. They were required to sell."

Nester explained that before staff can work on an issue that involves a company, they have to sell any holdings of stock in that firm. As a result, he said, there shouldn't be any surprise that a sale would precede the announcement of an enforcement action.

I understand the rationale, but this is still a nice trick. Maybe SEC employees should be limited to widely held mutual funds. Or put their money into blind trusts.

America - funded by the PEOPLE for the EXEMPT and
their terrorists and their schemes which are ILLEGAL
for the NON-EXEMPT.

America - 5 classes under “law” that depends on skin color,
party affiiliation, and job.

At the top: The EXEMPT (Congress, pOTUS, SCOTUS, Moslems)

Below THEM: Blacks above all “laws”

Below THEM: Terrorists above all “laws”

Below THEM: Federal Employees

Below THEM: Criminal Illegals

Below THEM: White, hispanic, and asian American taxpayers as the new slaves.

John Kerry made $2 million trading on confidential information he acquired as a member of a Senate committee.

That's better than Hillary Clinton's massively brilliant future's trading. Those democrats sure are impressive.../s

[billhilly]

Hell, John Kerry’s wife, dead republican Senators former wife, makes that much every day on her dead husband’s fortune. Kerry has been living tall on the money of one of his republican betters.

“A spokesperson for the SEC, which has made crackdowns on insider trading a priority in its enforcement division, declined to immediately comment. . .”

Well, that’s because there’s an ongoing investigation...

There will ALWAYS be an ongoing investigation.

[Uncle Chip]

I’m shocked — shocked I tell you — shocked

[grania]

I'm shocked that anyone who works for the SEC or their families can trade stock. And anyone who benefits from their knowledge should go to jail for at least as long as Marth Stuart did.

Our government is more out of control than a lot of the governments that have been overthrown for being out of control.

The dirty little secret about the Oil for Food Program, it was a giant insider trading scam.

The $65 billion everyone was worried about was nothing but chump change, the cost of doing business.

The real money was in the hundreds of billions at least.
