Cattle Futures wasn't insider trading. It was a straight out bribe in the amount of $100,000. They set up Hillary with an account. The stock trading company was out there trading cattle futures. When they made one that made money, say $3 or $4,000, they put that money in Hillary's account and credited her with making that trade. They did a bunch of trades over a certain period until it added up to about $100,000. Then it stopped.

When Hillary was caught, she didn't have the slightest idea what cattle futures were or how to trade them. She was asked how she got so good that every single short term trade she made was profitable, and she said she read the Wall Street Journal. What no one ever asked was why she never did cattle futures again, since she was supposedly so good at it. If she did the same thing with $100k, they would have had about $10million in no time. The answer, of course, is that she wasn't doing it, that it was just cover for a bribe. Not sure if it was the stock company or someone else doing the bribe.

Back in the day young reporters looked the other way at Clinton scandals. Papers were making money - and they were gatekeepers. That changed with Drudge and it'll never change back. If the 'cattle futures thing' happened today even the suck-ups at the New York Times would cover it.
