Pelosi Defends Members of Congress Trading Stocks: It’s a ‘Free Market’
Pelosi, who routinely makes headlines with her husband for their prophetic ability to making winning trades, made the comment in response to a reporter who asked about a Business Insider story based on a five-month review that found a large number of lawmakers and their staffers had been late filing financial disclosures detailing their trades. “Should members of Congress and their spouses be banned from trading individual stocks while serving in Congress?” the reporter asked.
“No,” Pelosi replied. “We have a responsibility to report on the stock, but I’m not familiar with that five-month review. But if people aren’t reporting, they should be.”
The reporter persisted amid muffled crosstalk after Pelosi finished, prompting her to add, “Because this is a free market. We’re a free-market economy. They should be able to participate in that.”

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard about congress corruption.
They used to at least lie/try to cover up their insider trading. Now, this hag has let the cat out of the bag......they DON’T care what you think about their profitable stock/insider trading scheme.
