I guess . . . that a number of elected politicians
- “do lunch”
- “have power lunches”
- “small gatherings” (dinner)
for the purpose of raising money “for good causes.”
And, they make an amazing amount of money, thereby, as “fund raisers.”
Elizabeth Warren, for example, might do such work for the Harvard Endowment.
After a while, of such rewarding gains, the politician probably invests in real estate and certain financial securities.
Nancy Pelosi, for example, probably has done so. She probably knows to whom, she would direct people to, for financial advice.
Hillary Clinton had important connections with some of the top-most characters at Evercore Partners, NYC, NY, who directly, and, or indirectly, helped her become the U.S. Senator from the State of New York.
I doubt that much unlawful-ness of cash flows, exists for those three politicians - with the exception of to whom, they have sent money “for other purposes.”
Sorry it took me so long to respond-all you said is true, but I recall hearing someone in the know who said insider trading is widespread! I don’t doubt it for a second.
