Congress Facing Growing Pressure Over Lawmakers Trading Stocks
source
Pelos is a monster. Why is she STILL in office?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlObo7idmPI
Congress has been profiting from war since 9/11
Wouldn't it be interesting to see how many investments from Congress went directly to Moderns, Pfizer and the like, and when these investments were made.
Nazis!!
How about starting to call the "white house" the Presidential House !!??
Hold my crack-pipe!! how about Palace or Castle??
No apologies, no acceptance of fault.
(Clown show)
🤡🤡🤡
We elected the stealer to steal us.
Mrs. Clarissa is the right person to start trading cryptocurrency with.. she knows her way around the crypto world.. she has been helping me increase my investment every day for over months… She is a genius, have made close to 1btc through her
This means you too Nancy….
They’ll just start some shell company and make trades on behalf of the shell company or they’ll have their kids trade for them or they’ll do mutual funds that are apparently allowed and they will make sure those funds Are private funds and are drawing 50 to 80% returns
CORRUPT… and those LOBBYIST issue…
greatest country in the world, they say…
yeaaahh right…
Pelosi is a sociopath and has been a criminal since she arrived – worthless and self serving.
is the same doctrine of the ancient Rome! —-money and power! —the new Rome! has the same issue! —((corruption in the senate! )
99% off the Democrat party they are crooks and lie
Almost every member of Congress is worth 10-100 million dollars on a salary of 200k or less per year. Most of that wealth is gained while in office. This is supposed to be illegal but has been "loopholed" for years…
How would they retire from their jobs ? I put money into my 401k in the stock market. SS isn't enough to live on alone.
Insider trading is what it is called. You and I would be in jail for that.
Nancy Pelosi has made so much money for years while doing nothing for the American people as her district (San Francisco) has crumbled into a ces pool of drugs, crime, and corruption.
Holy Moses!!!! Start with Biden.
They will all change their minds after the election.
When those mother cluckers never work a private sector job and work for the government their entire career’s. But yet they are still worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Big middle finger to them!
Obama sighnedbillalready when he was president andsothey beall broke thelaw already uitsalready a gains the law units been against thelaw namncy iss just asguiltyasmarthastewart
No idea why it was legal to begin with. Pelosi spends more time trading for her husband than in congress.
40% of politicians involved in "vaccine" legislation have stock in Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J.
Wonder how many were holding some of that big pharma stock.
The fact it took We the People to encourage our politicians stop insider trading is just f'ing nuts.
Is this even a country?
Fakenews
I don’t trust any of them. They only do things to benefit themselves so what other money making scheme will they be replacing it with? Perhaps they should have to hand over the millions they made to the government to pay for those insane laws they have passed that raised the debt
Lol a blind trust righhhht
I agree neither democrats or republicans should have any influence in the stock
And a stock ownership ban should be in place now
WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKS!! MARTHA STEWART SHOULD KICK THEM ALL IN THE NUTZ. WHAT A SCAM!!! PRISON TIME !!!!
In my eyes these people used the taxpayers money to make more money for themselves I hope they’ll rot in jail. Oh wait I forgot rich people don’t go to jail
Long overdue!!
Ban them.
"If I'm going down financially, I'm taking the Supreme Court with me."
It would be offensive if she didn't make a good point… we don't even get to know what trading the SCOTUS members do…
Restrict them all. Shrugs
I don’t own stocks but my spouse’s portfolio is worth millions.🤷🏾♂️
There’s a reason there’s an “us versus them” mentality. The rules don’t apply. I do insider trading I go to prison, pelosi does it and gives us the finger.
How bout this for all public servants, $15000 a year, no vacation, pay for your own insurance, 4 year term and no lobbying after your term. You have to go back to being a taxpaying citizen.
They would all quit if they couldn’t milk us for stock profits.
It's always been about money and power.
No stocks for lawmakers!!
Vote Nancy Pelosi in for a 20th term and get an all expense paid vacation to H. E. double hockey sticks. Permanent vacation…
Insider trading at the highest
How about prosecuting those who already have!
They serve their sponsors not the people.
Congress is legally allowed to make MILLIONS in Insider Trading.
OBSCENE
Never should've been allowed in the first place
They’re the original insider traders. There is only an issue now?
It's time to hang all these crooked politicians.
Its about fu–ken time!
