Piglosi is corrupt. What's good for thee is not good for me. She does what she pleases. A hypocrite at her finest!

That’s rookie numbers I want Putin levels of money.
The ten million is the money they want you to know about. Right Hunter and Joe???

No wonder she feels sorry for the poor people.

Entities with much to gain by having one of their own pulling the levers already repay office holders deferred bribes once they leave office.

These deferred bribes usually take the form of a consulting or lobbying position or a board seat that pays millions upon million for doing little or nothing.

The purpose of rewarding former office holders for their loyal service while in office is to show those currently in elected office that they too will be rewarded if they faithfully screw the public for the benefit of their shadowy overlords.

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.

That would likely depend on who the low-level government clerk works for.

As a patriot, I say if she's guilty then lock her up. Unlike traitorous Trumpists who think their guy is above the law.

If Trump broke a law there should be a consequence. Blue Anon conspiracies about Russian pee tapes do not count as actual proof of anything.

There problem with with Pelosi is she is part of a corrupt system that insists she has the right to do insider trading while lying to the country about not engaging in it. I would get a lifetime in prison if I insider traded like she has.

While I know there are corrupt Republicans (Adam Kinzinger), the Democrats make a nice living at it. Please show me a GOPer who got super rich in office. Don't point out McConnnell if he is worth $5m. That's not super rich.

Right, but we won't know if she is guilty unless we conduct a multi-year investigation into all facets of her entire family, friends and business associates.

I mean gosh, just investigating the insider trading charge is lame, they'll need to look at everything.
