Trading on insider information is a felony. The swamp crocodiles need to be arrested and thrown into solitary confinement as they did to Trump associates.

I would not get too excited here. I read years ago that Congress exempted members from inside trading laws.

How do you think all these public servants become millionaires?

The information they acted on wasn’t exactly a secret. I acted on it weeks before they apparently did. The market was getting toppy, and it was pretty clear that a highly contagious disease shutting down huge cities in China was not going to remain sequestered there. How could it, unless international travel was completely and immediately banned?

It’s not illegal for Congress. They, shockingly, exempted themselves.

While I am not happy about this, I demand that these Senators face the same justice that the democrats face.

This is the space the democrats thrive in. Jail/Resignation for thee but not for me.

And here is how this will go. A month or two later (after the resignations of the GOP Senators which hands Chuck Schumer the Senate. After impeachment is re-opened) we will discover that key democrat Senators did the same thing.

We will be outraged and call for their resignations!! Injustice we will scream. Demo rats or demon crats we will curse. Our guys resigned, now they should, we will decry!!! Sucker Carlson will take a break from virus fear mongering and lead the charge.

And the democrats will smile that cute little smile. They will show remorse and promise to pass laws preventing Congress persons from insider tradinf trading. Then, they will extend the middle finger, continue in office Robert Mendez style, and proceed with re-impeachment.

But we will tell ourselves how pure we are, how much better we are.

Congress passed laws that exempt itself from certain laws. I believe Congress is exempt from insider trading laws. It's not fair but we've elect these people and they create the laws.

Wasn’t there some special law that exempted Congress from insider trading?

When did Bezos dump his stock?
Bill Gates?
Buffet?
They knew much sooner.

No democrat sold stock?

The stock activity of any in Congress should be daily public information

This has been going on for decades and decades.

How did people think that a bunch of people who go into Congress with little net worth suddenly become multi-millionaires after a few short years?

Sorry, to us dreamers. If they’re Dummycrats not a single damn thing will happen to them; if they’re Republicans, they will face the full impact of the law.

Gee, how do I know?

All congress members are exempt from insider trading laws.

Also, I bet a lot of Dems did this as well

Trading on insider information is a felony.

************

The political masters in Washington are not subject to any of the laws they passs for the rest of us. In fact, they are exempt from any form of accountability.
