Notice any patterns? Somebody should put together a fund that just buys and sells based on what members of Congress are doing. Probably outperform every other fund in history.

Multiple former aides to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have cashed in on their connections by lobbying on coronavirus-related spending bills.
According to a report Wednesday in the Washington Free Beacon, at least seven Pelosi aides are now on the other side of the revolving door of influence for such clients as Delta Airlines and Uber that have sought to cash in on the trillions of dollars of recovery spending sloshing around Washington this spring.
“The former aides lobbied on policies related to the coronavirus pandemic for over 50 clients in the first quarter of 2020. Their firms received over $2 million from these clients during this time,” the Free Beacon wrote, while cautioning that the Pelosi aides’ work included lobbying on other issues and bills.
Citing “federal disclosure records,” the Free Beacon reported that the former Pelosi aides registered as coronavirus lobbyists include chief of staff Nadeam Elshami, senior policy adviser Anne MacMillan and special assistant Shanti Stanton.
One example the Free Beacon cited was Stanton, who now is at the government relations firm Subject Matter.

These are the real virii.
Lobbyists on the side of our enemies?!?
I think the real reason Nancy is no longer screaming for Trump’s tax records is because she might be challenged to show her own.
So are they lobbying for or against coronavirus?
It’s a lot more than 7 and it’s a lot more than Pelosi. Member of Congress have been making money from trading using secret/classified/otherwise non-public information for a long time. That’s the first get-rich-quick play until they realize they can make even more money as unregistered lobbyists. Beltway crooks and liars live in one world. The rest of us get the scraps they leave for us.
Notice any patterns? Somebody should put together a fund that just buys and sells based on what members of Congress are doing. Probably outperform every other fund in history.
I’d like to see how the House intelligence committee does as well.
