Explain how it was illegal.
Find a neutral news story on it and get back to me...I ain't getting paid by Putin to edjumucate your....or am I?
You're not educating anyone.
In 2011, 60 Minutes aired a piece detailing Paul and Nancy Pelosi’s participation in initial public offerings while having access to insider information. One example the report goes into is the fact that Nancy and Paul profited from an initial public offering from Visa at the same time regulations on the credit card industry were being considered in Congress. In total, 60 Minutes reported that Nancy and Paul participated in at least eight IPOs.
This was not illegal because, at the time, insider trading laws did not apply to members of Congress.
So, that leaves you where?
