Cicero was insightful. He warned people to recognize politicians for what they are, not what you project or hope them to be.

If guilty, toss his butt in prison for a decade or so and then go looking for all the other congress critters making money on insider information.

I am still trying to digest this news.
Most members of Congress engage in Insider Trading, all the time.
It is one of the primary vehicles by which many members enter office with little net worth, and on a salary of $174,000, leave office a few years later worth tens of millions of dollars.
Was this case just too blatant for the Dept of Injustice to ingore? Was this a message being sent to members of Congress that the noose is tightening via President Trump?
The former Speaker of the House, John "Wiskey" Bohner told the press that Insider Trading laws "didn't apply" to members of Congress.

Its why I tend to vote for strong ideologues and people who are ready to sacrifice their career to change Fed.gov
Collins is a fairly reliable conservative, but was also clear running for Congress was the next prize and goal, in what was a very successful business career.

Have to wonder whether the STOCK Act is responsible for many Congressional retirements, since they can no longer make a bundle from insider trades. I expect a good number can make more money in the private sector, once insider trading is eliminated.
