They aren’t allowed to use insider information to trade stocks like you were Nutzy Pelosi. Anyone remember that, when it was found out she was stealing investors money through insider info? And when the public found out and became outraged - except for Democrap voters - they quickly passed the stock act.....

Actually, it started when Politicians were accused of insider trading, so they redirected the public's attention to Martha Stewart and put her in jail. They thought that would be the end of it.
However, the Pelosi issue came up and they were forced to make new laws to 'cover' themselves.
Note that in the STOCK Act, there was supposed to be 'transparency', but that Harry Reid got that changed so they no longer had to reports their 'profits' to the public.
How convenient.
