Its 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.

Their families got exempted, not the politicians themselves with the insider trading bill. And there you have the rub.
