What was Martha Stewart convicted again?
Yes BUT, it is not illegal for congress thiefs to use insider trading.
They exemptd themselves from that little law.
Any wonder so many thieves and criminals strive to become congress men or ladies?
She was convicted of lying to the FBI about insider trading, not the trading itself.
Kinda like Scooter Libby for lying to the special prosecutor. At the very least, of his story not matching those of Tim Russert and Judith Miller. Not that there was any veracity to their “journalistic accounts” it was just his did not match theirs so he was convicted of lying.
The sorry thing is that the prosecutor knew all along before he even started the investigation who the leaker was. Richard Armitage, Asst Secretary of State to Colin Powell who when Armitage told him, Powell instructed him to not say a word to anyone. The whole thing was a needless waste of time and money which resulted in destroying the life of someone who had no connection to the whole affair.
Congress and senate call the Mafia the bad guys.Makes one wonder how many of them have ties to the drug cartels?.
