Washington is overrun with hacks who talk big about stopping corruption, but Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) is putting his money where his mouth is, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.
Moreno signed on to cosponsor Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) landmark legislation to ban congressional stock trading, an issue many Americans believe to be among the most significant marks of public corruption in Washington.
The PELOSI Act was reintroduced Monday, Breitbart News’s Elizabeth Weibel reported. The bill, formally titled the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, would “amend chapter 131 of title 5, United States Code, to prohibit transactions involving certain financial instruments by Members of Congress,” according to the bill’s text.

The hag literally had a fund created to track her 'investing' record.
Why is it called The PELOSI Act?
The name is hilarious. Rush would be proud.
Because Pelosi has gamed the system longer and better than everyone else.
Insider trading is the main reason politicians spend millions to become “public servants”.
Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI)
That’s beautiful!
Fixed.
P’s already got hers!
Greatest Troll in Congressional History!!!!
When they become a congress critter the only thing they should be able to control is their pay and everything else should go to a trust until they’re no loner a congress critter
I would love to hear what she says in private about this bill. To have her name forever wedded with a bill that addresses her corruption.
This bill has good intentions. That’s for sure. But I can’t see how it would do much good.
So a congressman and his spouse won’t be able to trade on insider information. But what about passing on that information to children and siblings? Am I missing something here?
(And no, I don’t have a good solution for that. Perhaps the law should also prohibit passing on that information.)
“But what about passing on that information to children and siblings?”
That’s called Insider Trading and it’s a felony.
L
what are they doing about members who are married to financial people. Wealth management, stock trader, etc. Going to be interesting to see how this shakes out
Way past time for this. If these SOB’s want to trade in stocks, they can wait until they are no longer elected.
There was a massive trade of put options around the time of the Clinton Epi Pen announcement. I dont remember details. It may have been in the index rather than the stock of the company
Time to ‘End the Cycle of Corruption’
That’s called a democrat lost an election only way it can occur.
