Beat me to it. Nothing illegal here. Both parties do this stuff as standard practice. It’s how they all get rich.

This is no reflection in Trump at all. It just shows the nature of the DC swamp.

The Stock Act was passed in 2012 to mitigate the exemption from insider trading that Congress enjoys. No where in the article does it say that he did anything that violated that act, or any ethical rules of Congress.

There fore, considering the source, this is likely more smear narrative meant to get people to conclude wrong doing when there was no evidence.

Meanwhile they ignore the millions of donations to the Clinton Global Initiative and speaker fees, and actions of SOS Clinton in pay to play.

Doesn’t matter. Shows someone without ethics and integrity. Trump needs to dump him immediately, then hold a press conference and say ‘THIS is what I was running against!’.
