Martha Stewart was never convicted of insider trading. She was acquitted of that charge, and convicted of conspiracy to obstruct an agency proceeding, and lying to the FBI. So if Martha “knew someone” it sure didn’t help.
Which raises my question, when does the FBI go to jail for lying to the American people and conspiring to overthrow our duly elected President? I think maybe they know someone.
“Martha Stewart was never convicted of insider trading. She was acquitted of that charge”
Stewart’s explanation that she unloaded her stock because of a prearranged sell order collapsed when Douglas Faneuil, the broker’s assistant who handled the sale of the ImClone stock for Stewart, told Merrill Lynch lawyers that his boss, Peter Bacanovic, had pressured him to lie about a stop-loss order. Although he initially backed Stewart’s story, he later told prosecutors that Bacanovic prompted him to advise Stewart that Waksal family members were dumping their stock and that she should consider doing the same. During interviews with law enforcement officials, Faneuil said, “I did not truthfully reveal everything I knew about the actions of my immediate supervisor and the true reason for the sales.” He reportedly received money or other valuables for hiding his knowledge from investigators. Faneuil pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge on October 2. Martha Stewart resigned from her board membership of the New York Stock Exchange the next day. Faneuil was later fined $2,000 but did not receive jail time. Merrill Lynch fired Faneuil after he pleaded guilty; Bacanovic was also fired for declining to cooperate with investigators

This came from a very good site and there is a lot more to the case than people know. Hope you get a chance to read it.
Acquittal is defined by Black Law Dictionary as when a person accused of a crime is legally freed by a court generally as a result of lack of evidence. This decision cannot generally be appealed unless in a special circumstance. There a number reasons evidence is tossed out of a trial, some are even legit. But when everyone to Include Martha lies about what is an obvious situation not even starting to disprove the obvious, and it is the only way to keep her out of jail for 20 years, and the evidence was tossed without investigation, if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck...

“...when does the FBI go to jail for lying to the American people...”
I did this one this way because they were two different topics and handled differently in the actions and determinations given.
Answer to your question, when they get caught. Nothing outside of small concessions has been proven in any of the cases that have been filed throughout different places in the country and no one counting or moving ballots has been charged with election fraud. I don’t disagree with you here but a lot of evidence concerning reported and confirmed fraud has been tossed for the wrong reasons. And this someone is from high places.
