Pelosi liberally availed herself of insider knowledge to make millions off the stock market before Congress made insider trading illegal for members of Congress. Since she was voting on issues affecting how corporations conducted business, she was in a very good position to profit. Her net worth actually decreased once she could no longer engage in insider trading.

Congress repealed the law against their insider trading.

Insider dealing by members of Congress never stopped. Look it up. Legislation was passed and quietly amended to death. It is going on full bore, ironically benefiting the Trump haters in Congress who are cashing in on his stock market boom.

Pelosi has a well-earned reputation for shady stock purchases herself, getting shares in lucrative IPOs and
trading on inside information gleaned through Congressional meetings. Martha Stewart served 5 months in
prison for similar insider trading.

CIRCA 2014--PELOSI’S HUSBAND SNARED IN INSIDER STOCK DEAL

Paul Pelosi Invested in SunEdison Weeks Before First Wind Purchase
WASHINGTON-- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s husband bought up to a quarter million dollars of stock in SunEdison, a now financially troubled green energy company just weeks before it announced a major 2014 acquisition that sent its stock price soaring. SunE's 2014 purchase of wind energy company First Wind “further bolstered the reputation of the company,” wrote one market-watcher at the time. “Perhaps unsurprisingly, SunEdison’s stock soared 29% on news of this acquisition alone.”

Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, had invested just in time. He bought between $100,000 and $250,000 in SunEdison stock on Oct. 24, 2014, according to congressional financial disclosures. The company announced its First Wind acquisition on Nov. 17.

Pelosi has previously been accused of trading stock based on information gleaned through her official duties. A law passed in the wake of that controversy prohibits members of Congress from using nonpublic information for personal gain. Language in that measure was informally dubbed the 'Pelosi Provision.' Pelosi’s office did not respond to questions about the timing of the purchase and whether she or her husband had any advance knowledge of the deal.
