I thought he simply claimed that he didn’t do the trading—as in, his broker or financial manager somehow did it for him, not that his funds were legally placed in a blind trust (which would be a whole different story).
Right. He said he hadn’t done a trade on his own in years.
Every member of the House has to publish a financial statement every year. Boehner’s looks pretty dry. And small potatoes. Without even looking I bet if we pull down Pelosi’s statement you could multiply each of Boehner’s investments by a factor of ten and then you’d be in the ballpark of where Queen Nancy sits on the income scale.
