Did you even read the post or just the headlne? The answer was right in the post:

“The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act (Pub.L. 112–105, S. 2038, 126 Stat. 291, enacted April 4, 2012) is an Act of Congress designed to combat insider trading. It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The bill prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading by members of Congress and other government employees. It confirms changes to the Commodity Exchange Act, specifies reporting intervals for financial transactions.”

They should all go to jail, regardless of party. Members of Congress are required to file documents when they make financial transactions like this. We will soon know of the Democrats who did this as well.

Wasn’t that highly touted law gutted in the dead of night shortly after it was passed?

I hope so. I'm fine with throwing these GOP Senators out as long as it's not only the GOP. Unless you could prove to me these were the only individuals that did this but we know that's not the case. These politicians always leave office very rich.
