Insider trading - plus nepotism, fraud, theft, graft, generalized corruption, election-fixing... congress can’t be investigated for any of that; it’s in the constitution.

Remember when Pelosi was handed a block of VISA stock 2 months before the IPO.

Her comment? “ Thanks a lot, Visa”

Not exactly.

Article I Section 6


They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

There is the treason, felony, and breach of the peace exclusion. It's time to call insider trading a felony.
