'I trust our members': Pelosi says insider trading issues are the responsibility of the Justice Department as she again comes out against limiting lawmakers' stock trading activity

Nancy Pelosi's new excuse for opposing a ban or limit on lawmaker's stock trading activity is that she always defers to 'trusting our members' and claims it's the Justice Department's responsibility to tackle insider trading.

'I do come down always in favor of trusting our members,' the House Speaker said during her weekly briefing on Thursday.

'Now if the impression that is given by some that somebody's doing insider trading – that's a Justice Department issue,' she continued. 'And that has no place in any of this.'

Except when it comes to lawfully carrying firearms into the Capitol.

Just a power and money hungry bitch. When the Republicans take the House in November there will be investigations. Perhaps Newt could advise. lol

I think we could make a distinction between stock ownership and stock trading.

Well, who trusts Pelosi? Certainly not most law-abiding citizens for sure! She needs to be publicly embarrassed, maybe a public whipping, which could sell tickets, which in turn could help pay down the deficit. Maybe this procedure for more of those “public servant” could reduce our debt to a significant amount.

It’s not surprising she would take that stance considering she’s probably gotten richer from it than any other member of congress.

Nancy clearly cannot smell the stench of her own corruption.

I’d bet that Pelosi and The Biden Cartel have tons of vaccine stocks.

Oh, please!

IF the “republicants” take the House in November, they will do as they always do. NOT ONE DAMNED THING except act like they are Assistant DemocRATs.

That’s who they are and what they do.

As things stand, the same apparatus that put Biden in our White House is still in place and ready to go again in November.

Probably the last bill she will get passed before she resigns is to ban insider trading for the House members.

Right on. Trust a House member? Ha. Don’t forget to lock up the silver if you have one over for dinner.

When Gorbachev visited the Reagans at their ranch, Nancy explained to Gorby that Ronny had installed the ranch’s fence posts himself, sawing up old telephone poles. In one of the all-time funny wisecracks, Gorby responded, “Trust but verify.”
