Odd Timing of Nancy Pelosi's Google Stock Sale Raises Concerns
Newsweak ^ | 1/25/23 | KATHERINE FUNG

Posted on 01/25/2023 8:47:22 PM PST by BenLurkin

Representative Nancy Pelosi's decision to sell her Google stocks just a month before the Department of Justice (DOJ) and eight states sued the tech giant has raised eyebrows as to whether she knew a massive antitrust lawsuit was coming.

The DOJ announced Tuesday that it was suing Google for abusing a monopoly over a "wide swath" of online advertising tools and corrupting "legitimate competition in the ad tech industry" by doing so.

Shortly after the announcement, some social media users noticed that Pelosi sold up to $3 million of her Google stocks four weeks earlier. Congressional filings show that the California Democrat sold 10,000 shares of Alphabet Inc., Google's holding company, on December 20, 21 and 28. Each amount ranged between $50,001 and $1 million.

"You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to wonder how Nancy Pelosi knew to sell off $3 million of her Google stock 4 WEEKS before the DOJ opened their tech monopoly lawsuit against them," former GOP Senate candidate James Bradley tweeted.

Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, who on Tuesday introduced a bill that would ban members of Congress from trading and owning stocks, wrote: "People have asked why I named my stock trade ban the PELOSI Act. Now you know."

Raises concerns that the Pelosi’s are trading stocks using inside knowledge? Heck, most of those in DC and their family members are criminals. Cruella is just one of the criminal bosses rising up through the ranks because she’s been there for so long. It’s the same with Jobama, Feinstein and a number of others who criminally abuse their positions of public service. Committing crimes against the American people is what they do. Our Founding Fathers had no crystal ball to see the depth of treachery, evil, greed and lust for power of those in today’s political cabal in DC who have lied to sell themselves as honorable.

2016 was not an election, it was an exorcism.

Odd timing? Puuleeeeeease.! When Pelousy was confronted a year or two ago about insider trading, she plainly stated, so what, and refused to stop. For democRATS, there are no rules, regulations or laws. Those are for other people. Pelousy will probably do what all the Kennedy Klan did with their millions. While preaching “tax the rich” the Kennedys have their fortunes in tax-free municipal bonds. Taxes?? We don’t pay no stinkin’ taxes!

I think I finally got my revenge. A recent comment. May one dark night the hounds from Hell race across her roof in anticipation.

It is not against the laws congress has set for themselves.

I’m pretty sure this is another thing that Twitter was ghosting and banning accounts for. I know they disappeared accounts that were tracking the Pelosi investments.

Pelosi act- strictly symbolism, they’ll just have their foundation, family, or side businesses do the trading.
That’s what the smart ones have been doing all along.

Insider trading should be prosecuted.

The Pelosi’s have always seemed to benefit from inside knowledge due to Nancy’s position in Congress.. I seem to recall that in 2007 American Samoa was strangely exempted from a federal increase in minimum wage. The major employer in American Samoa was Starkist Tuna, a large contributor to Nancy’s campaigns. Paul Pelosi also held some $17 million in Starkist stock.
