There's already a law against members of Congress using insider knowledge and trading; they just have family members do it! So what is another law going to do? Nothing, of course! Just more virtue signaling

From what I understand at this time, there is no law that prohibits Congress from playing the stock market with the best of insider information, there was a law @ one time but the Congress reversed it, because they want to rape and pillage our country financially & in another every other way possible

That law has been on the books for a LONG time. I don't even recall how far back it was when I 1st heard about it, probably the '80s at least, and that was when I learned how they got around it as well. The law only applies to the members, it never blocked them sharing the insider information with family members, who then used it to trade. And, naturally, it was they, the law makers, who LEFT that little "loophole", to enrich themselves through, in place.

That is how I remember it to. There was a law and then Congress annulled it.

I am unable to do that in my investments

HOWEVER, there is so much the political elites are able to do

ie two tiered 'justice' (a joke in Washington)

Had I done what Hillary did in handling classified, and much of my clearances were

highly sensitive, the Navy would have

court martialed me, taken my stripes and hauled my six off to NAVCONBRIG

(no females in Leavenworth)

That is just one example

You'd go to jail for an extended visit, if you even tried! So would I. I know. Just the brigs on the coasts. If you'd tried what Hilary did, you'd probably never get out to breathe free air again. I read the UCMJ too; it was required, even for us "only cleared for rumor" RNs, in OI. But it isn't "2 tiered justice", it's just plain injustice all the way around. Our Founders were correct: either justice is the same for all, or there is none for any. We haven't had justice in the US any time in my adult life. What we have is 2 classes of citizens: those exempt from law and justice; and those abused by the pretense thereof.

Agree. When I see the news I think Truman Show, Reality TV, Dr Evil in a lair with a shark and a laser too. All these vignettes of distraction.... meanwhile their are slowly putting the last pieces in place to implement a total control buying and selling system.... For I see things (which now every day wake up and remind myself...we have not seen everything) today we will be surprised with more preplaned Billy Joel We Didn't Start The Fire roll of insanity...barges crashing into bridges, balloons drift access the country, drones off NJ, project "Blue Beam". Hmm sounds like a good way to cast the inlmage of the beast. https://ethics.house.gov/financial-disclosure/general-information-about-financial-disclosure#:~:text=Annual%20Filing,the%20Clerk%20of%20the%20House.

It should outlaw all immediate family members as well and any investments should be blind to them . There has to be reprocessing for this.

This is interesting. Makes me so mad what they do. These people (not Pelosi) come in with little to no network. After a few years they’ve completely stacked.

Pelosi, McConnell, etc etc etc are all as good as dead at this point. Their estates should be emptied for what they have done to the people they serve. A lesson must be learned once and for all.

Give all their money back to their constituents.

They stole it from all of us not just their constituents.

Put it back in the national Treasury, toward that $35 Trillion debt they've racked up for us, every red cent above their stated salaries, and what, if any, they paid into SSA! ** Just found out it's already $36 trillion, (22/21/24) and still climbing; I apologize for that error.**

This is great and pathetic at the same time. Poor old Joe. And for my money Pelosi can go straight back to he!! from whence she crawled. GACK.

Since it's Congress that would pass laws against Congress doing insider trading, you can take it to the bank that Congress will NEVER pass a single law that restricts its ability to grift at the public trough.

Expand full comment

Oh, they might pass a law that LOOKS like it's anti-insider trading for congress, and SOUNDS like it, but in fact it will not be.

Or, more likely, it will be this trick that they play all the time: the provision will be in a very publicly announced bill that all of the congressmen will vote for, and the provision that repeals it will be a single line on page 1245 of a 2985 page "omnibus" bill that comes to a vote and passes the following day. So they miss, at most, one day of trading, or, for many of them, they just continue like nothing ever happened, since nobody will hold them accountable for it.

How do I know this? What is the best predictor of future behavior? That's right - PAST behavior.

They DID decades ago! That's why the stocks are always in a relative's name...

According to the George Webb blog, Pelosi is a daughter of an influential Mob Boss, I sincerely doubt she cares for anybody's opinion! Pelosi, Albright, Rice, Clinton... Spawn of Hel.

He hasn't been seen since March '21, the day he fell up the boarding ramp to USAF 1, a few times; it's been body doubles. There are certain features that tell the tale, quite plainly.

Let me get this straight... Honest Joe doesn't think congress should invest in the stock market. OK, I agree that they shouldn't be able to use insider trading. But really, Honest Joe, is the way you and your family have been making all your money better? I can think of a lot more laws we should pass to prevent windfalls (or maybe they already are).

After Pauli P. T-boned an illegal drunk driving, Nancy had to raise some hush-hush cash, so she sold some Nvidia stock.💰💰

Was Nancy flown to Germany for surgery on taxpayer money or did she "break her hip" there? Or, is she getting some other thing that we are being lied to about? Shes probably getting the best treatment our money can buy. Must be nice to be a billionaire who made her money the old fashion way...THEFT!

UPDATE!!!!!! Its confirmed NANCY was just on another vacation hobnobbing with others in her heels on the taxpayers dime.

"Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was donning “very high” heels when she broke her hip in a nasty fall on marble steps at a World War II battlefield site in Luxembourg last Friday" — (a spirit of one of those soldiers pushed her I bet)" then ostensibly powered through the pain to pose for a group photo." MSN

What a TROOPER she is.... 🧑🏻‍🦽

They have broken every law and are still free to break a hip. Hope she breaks her neck next!

Who needs term limits? Just ban members of Congress from insider trading, and they'll retire.

When Nancy returns from her hospital stay, she’ll have to trade in her stilettos for a walker. She’s retiring soon.

She bought a McMansion in FLORIDA, yes the republican-strong, DeSantis run, Dr. Ladapo, fabulous FL! Even Nancy wants to get away from San Francisco forever.

She should be forced to live on toxic Treasure Island, next to the former burn pit.
