Interestingly enough, with only one exception, I believe that every congress-critter exposed was a republican. The one dem was Princess Nancy.

democrats were pulling this crap in the 90’s to buy votes and support for Gore..
Is this supposed to be a news story or is somebody over at Biggovernment trying to sell a book?
Wonder why they just singled out one Senator when they all do it? Our legislators are above the laws they write for the rest of us... That’s news?
they took on several grufters. this article just names one.
public servant now means public parasite.
It is not against the law for a member of congress to do insider trading. they made themselves from insider trading laws.
The only way I can let my dad know ahead of time that we are going to acquire more land is to go and ask him for a loan. I can’t just go and tell him we are getting bigger, time to buy some of our stock.
That sounds like 60 Minutes.
Nancy must have ticked them off somehow.Or else she was their token Dem.
Didn’t Hillary Clinton make $100,000 on a $1,000 investment....oh nevermind.....she’s a democrat and a CLINTON!
If this is as widespread as I suspected, involving numerouse congresscritters on both sides of the aisle, it could start an avalance of revulsion on the part of the public and reenergize the Tea Party movement; it could be bigger than the congressional post office scandal of the 90's.
As the article stated, this fire was kindled by the book by investigative journalist and Breitbart editor that has triggered a political earthquake in Washington. Wishful thinking on my part, but if only it could be an earthquake of 10.3 magnitude on the political Richter scale.
The former senator singled out was Judd Gregg (R-NH).
What do We The People think of our very own Congressional Sodom and Gomorrah? Voice your disapproval in November 2012!
they only know that they are so "mad" at the rich and the rich are the "republicans" now aren't they, that they'll once again give us a whole slave ship full of democrat crooks...
I suspect many in Congress are guilty. Of course, 60 Minutes focused on a Republican. The stats I have read suggest the rats do quite a bit better on inside trading than the R’s (their portfolios show a better rate of return). But we’re getting ready for 2012 and this will continue with increasing intensity (focused mainly on R’s) until December 2012.
“U.S. Representative Spencer Bachus (R-AL) had access to highly sensitive financial information during the 2008 bailout debates...”
This cracks me up. I had access to “highly sensitive newspaper reporting” during 2007/8 and guess what, I figured out that banks were loaning money to people who could NEVER pay it back. So I pulled all of my 401k money out of stocks and shorted the banks that were doing the lending (like Countrywide, in particular). I still haven’t lost a dime on this fiasco. It really wasn’t that hard.

LOL....as soon as Angelo Mozilo dumped all of his Countrywide
stock, I began shorting it, as well as several home builders .
