It’s that private club called “Congress”. And “Administration”. And “Intelligence”.

You get all the inside information. Everyone does it. Everyone gets rich. Nobody gets punished.

Nobody but us.

It is why they hate Trump so much. They think he is going to upset the Gravy Train, because he “isn’t one of them”.

Criminalize congressional stock trading. They are by definition engaging in insider trading.

As Congress considers a bipartisan bill banning members and their families from trading stock while in office,

While it is indeed scandalous that people like Nancy Pelosi or Liz Cheney can enter office with nothing, and leave with $$ tens or $$ hundreds of millions, I don't know if this is the only way to control grifting, or even if its the major source.

It will just be a limitation that discourages smart people from running, will attract low IQ morons and controlled ideologues, and will again degrade the power of Congress in favor of the permanent bureaucracy and deep-state

Does such a bill say ANYTHING about permanent Fed.gov employees like Fauci, Wallensky or Comey, who also become rich while climbing the DC greasy pole?

I love MTG, but to be consistent, they all need to be looked at really hard for insider trading. Of course only the republicans will be guilty of it.

He sounds like a day-trading addict. Most of them become poor, not rich.

Coulda swore that insider trading was barred by the 2012 STOCK Act.

I guess that if it's not enforced, like most crime in blue cities, the law doesn't exist.
