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.

“I believe Congress is exempt from insider trading laws.”

I think it used to be that way, but that was changed in 2012, under “The Stock Act”.

if those 4 go, it will be a rushed Impeachement, then Trump gets removed by the senate before the governors can name the senate replacements. Shumer becomes senate majority leader. Vice President Pence takes over but the Republicans have no one in the wings to run for president. A real mess. I’ll bet Democrat Senators and all sorts of congressmen have done this too
