Paul Ryan's Bank Stock Trading
Let me apologize. I originally had a too-credulous item here linking to a piece at The Richmonder alleging that Paul Ryan has sold bank shares after a closed door meeting with Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke on the financial crisis in 2008. As Eric Platt explains he certainly seems to have sold the shares on the same day as the meeting, but the meeting happened in the evening by which time the markets would have been closed. One can perhaps construct a scenario by which the Richmonder's theory of the case holds up, but they don't have the goods and I shouldn't have passed their analysis on with no qualification and so little scrutiny of my own.
As Brad DeLong writes, for one reason or another Ryan did quite a lot of trading of individual bank stocks in 2008 so the timing of this particularly transaction isn't particularly noteworthy when put in that context. For posterity's sake the original item is below now in strikethrough.
Insider trading is a felony.
And yet you have nothing to say about all the Dems that have as much evidence against them as does Ryan. Piece of shit.

While I doubt Ryan engaged in any insider trading, what is also true is that democrats wrote the rules that say members of Congress and the Senate could not be prosecuted at all for known insider trading.
Republicans wrote a new law, banning insider trading by members of the congress and senate. The STOCK Act. But before that, insider trading was perfectly legal.
'60 Minutes' Blows The Lid Off Congressional Insider Trading - Business Insider
Members of Congress can legally make trades on non-public information they obtain during their official duties, CBS News' '60 Minutes' reported on Sunday night.
Branded 'honest graft,' lawmakers can use market-moving information that they learn in congressional committees to trade on the stock market — actions that likely would carry stiff jail and civil penalties if they did not hold public office.
In one example, Steve Kroft reports that Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL), now the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, bet against the market in the days before the 2008 financial crisis hit — after getting 'apocalyptic briefings' from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson.

Yeah, Liberals have been getting in to a lot of trouble with that claim lately (See Below) . I've already ended one thread with this, how many more do I need to blow away so that liberals will stop making this sladerous claim?

It seems to be a legitimate claim, and has yet to be disproven. You certainly didn't disprove it.
