At least she made real money at it. It makes my laugh when people say Biden or Bernie are so rich after 50 years in the senate. They are around $10 million counting their main house and a couple retreats. I would be embarrassed to be in the senate that long and not have at least $100 million. That’s rookie numbers I want Putin levels of money.

Not to worry, the dem controlled DOJ is on the job. Waiting to hear, 'no lawywer would prosecute this case'.

When a dem responds with 'no one is above the law', they are auditioning for a spot on comedy central.

So you believe it’s ethical to vote in policies that makes their spouses rich? They are supposed to be working for the American people, policies that will promote their lives, like the blue collar and poor Americans they claim to represent

If the rare candidate without at least $1M in assets got elected, he would be well in excess of that even after one term. I agree with a previous poster, that anybody elected to office is either barred from trading stocks or has to put all assets into a blind trust.

And those poor souls worried about Pelosi graft were defending Trump not disclosing his assets or tax records. They excused his peccadillos, both financial and other...

Hey I am for strict disclosure and ban on stock trading FOR EVERYBODY OF BOTH PARTIES. No excuses for any politician. I will take right wing being worried about Pelosie seriously when right wing holds their own politicians to account also.

Honestly wouldnt bother me to ban anybody with more than $1M in assets from running for office or serving in government in any capacity above dog catcher or weed control officer.

Insider trading is not the same as disclosing your assets.
One is a crime while the other is protecting your privacy.

Nancy "insider trading" Pelosi strikes again!

Her husband perfectly timed multiple government contracts correctly guessing who would, wouldn't, and would get their contract revoked multiple times making millions.

Nancy Pelosi has had this happen over a dozen times now, but insists there is nothing to see here.

Now Nancy's husband bought $1.9 million worth of Microsoft call options right before it was publicly announced that Microsoft had won a huge government contract.

There is no way the Pelosis dumped $1.9 million bucks into risky call options for any reason other than they wanted to act on Nancy's private knowledge of the government contract going to Microsoft.

The Pelosis just got a whole heck of a lot richer gaining $10 million back.

Congress opposes changing this law.

If a low level government clerk did this they'd wind up in jail likely.

Laws are for us peons.

Last time Pelosi got virtue checked on this a law was passed that it was illegal for congress critters to be involved in stocks as a vested and conflict of interest.

6 months later it was reversed and back to insider trading on the laws they know they are about to pass, affecting stocks.

They all are dirty. The ones who have no morals and we know by the lies they tell have no moral compass.



If Trump exaggerates they call it lies. Yet the left blatantly and completely lies to smear anyone that is in their way of complete power.
