Actually...yes there is.It's perfectly legal...but utterly amoral. Members of Congress are allowed to use privileged info on companies...info about government contracts for example...when deciding to buy,or sell,a stock.

Take Boeing for example. The DoD has just decided to award a $50 billion contract to Lockheed rather than Boeing. It hasn't been made public yet...only Lockheed and Boeing executives and certain members of Congress know.

A member of Congress would be allowed to use this knowledge to buy Lockheed stock and/or sell Boeing stock. OTOH if a Lockheed,or Boeing,executive used it to buy or sell it would mean 10 years at Club Fed.

And,of course,it hasn't been made public yet so members of The Great Unwashed like us wouldn't be about to cash in on this government decision.

Her scumbag husband’s an inside trader, on her information in Congress. Both should be in prison.
