Maybe, this will clear up a few things (re: insider trading by members of the government):

This is what I wrote last night after digging into how Senators are replaced in those states:
In CA, NC, GA replacements are appointed by Governor and in NC must be of the same party. GA has a R governor so that one is safe (and a big boost for Doug Collins). CA would obviously stay Dem.
WI and OK require elections w/o interim appointment although in WI the seat can stay open if vacancy occurs after mid-May.
Probably a non-issue because the Senate is a tight club and will just circle the wagons and protect them. Worst they might do is censure or kick them out of chairmanships. We all know if a serious effort was made to look into their finances, we’d find simlilar shenanigans in the background of virtually every Senator - R and D.
thanx for that. I saved a copy of the law. There was an amendment in 2013 from Harry Reid...
What I haven’t found is the “Interpretive Guidance” of the rules of each chamber as stated in sections 3 & 9.
I also don’t see what the actual penalties are for a violation.
