Yes BUT, it is not illegal for congress thieves to use insider trading. They exempted themselves from that little law.

Is this true? Did they really exempt themselves from insider trading laws?

Thats what everybody keeps saying, personally I do not believe them. Seems to me the best way to test the theory that Congress Critters are “Exempt” would be to ARREST AND PROSECUTE THEM, Seize their assets and let them go through the Judicial System in front of a Jury, just like everybody else. They can ROT IN PRISON, just like everybody else while they wait 10 or so years to go through the entire LEGAL PROCESS, just like everybody else. The problem lies in: Who will arrest and prosecute them?? This Permeates all levels of GOVERNMENT in every city in America. HE should have called the book:: HANG THEM ALL.

From the review:
“The worst part: Many of these egregious actions fall within the letter, if not the spirit, of the law and the ethics rules governing Congress. Mr. Schweizer’s subtitle is revealing: “How politicians and their friends get rich off insider stock tips, land deals, and cronyism that would send the rest of us to prison.”

I hope everyone reads this book. It is not only democrats and it's not only insider trading.
