Move raises ethics concerns, watchdog claims.
Ethics watchdogs say the timing of large purchases of Tesla stock by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul raises ethics concerns due to an appearance of insider trading.
Paul Pelosi reportedly purchased up to $1 million in stock from electric car giant Tesla last month. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, announced this week that his administration intends to take the entire federal fleet of automobiles electric.
The move by Pelosi was "corrupt and unacceptable," TakeBack.org Executive Director John Pudner claimed in an interview with the Washington Times this week.
"Even if the actual charges are not provable beyond a reasonable doubt or trigger SEC action, the timing of trades with potential insider information always looks bad," a former federal prosecutor told the publication.
A spokesman for the speaker said that "her husband, not the speaker, made the Tesla bets and the speaker's political relationships were irrelevant," the Times reported.
All just a big coincidence, I am sure.
What a coincidence! They don’t even bother to hide the corruption anymore. They are daring us to do something about it.
Telling her Husband about what’s coming is even worst
And the media....
CRICKETS.
Nice to know what he is doing with all that money he got from his wife’s congressional legislation.
“corrupt and unacceptable”
Of course it is. It is also SOP for our oligarchs and NOTHING will ever be done about it. Laws against corruption? Those are only for little people.
INSIDE TRADING by the Pelosis.
The true story is......Paul Pelosi was lounging around the pool at the Pelosi spa.
A topless sunbather strolled over, snapping her thong bikini in his direction.
She leaned over Paul holding her 40-CC bikini top that accidentally fell across Paul’s crotch.
She asked: “What do you want do later, Paul?”
Paul replied: “Later? I’m going up to my room for cookies and milk and buy $1 million in stock from electric car giant Tesla.
Nancy just called and said Biden is replacing the entire federal auto fleet w/ electric cars.”
Pelousy can’t even spell the word “ethics”. She’ll get away with it, just like she has gotten away with all her other crimes.
So did Hunter....whats the problem.
He would have done better if he invested in utility companies something has to feed the cars.
It must be nice to be the queen, flouting the laws by which we must abide under threat of incarceration.
Business as usual. More to come. Dems in control.
Peach Pelosi
Sounds like insider information to me, at least according to my workplace standards of integrity. If it legally isn’t then it just adds yet another layer to their sleaziness and corruption if you’re willing to see it.
What's the problem? How about threatening the safety of the U.S. for the sake of an individual or a crime family like the Bidens making a fortune on OUR money?
Rules do not apply to our glorious Demonrat tyrants. They are much too important to be bothered with things like following the law. Laws are only for us little people, and our conservative leaders.
