At just over $46 million in net worth, Pelosi is herself among the richest members of Congress — ranked fifteenth overall, thanks in part to her husband’s holdings in the likes of Slack, Tesla, Disney, Visa, Salesforce, PayPal, Alphabet, Facebook, and Netflix, all of them major corporations that spend untold millions every year to lobby the government.

This has been going on for decades. Congress even wrote it into law granting them exclusivity to insider trading.

I worked in Sales Operations for public and private companies and was privy to all the sales data for the corporations. I signed MANY statements over the years the insider trading laws and certifying I wasn’t doing that.

Congressman Chris Collins of NY was convicted of insider trading. I guess those rules inly apply to republicans.

This has been going on for decades.

I recall Lincoln saying: I will give him the keys of the Tresuary after I change the locks.

“I recall Lincoln saying: I will give him the keys of the Tresuary after I change the locks.”

Too bad they killed him before had the chance to do it.

She should be charged and convicted just like all the rest that practice this.
