Nancy Pelosi Rejects Ban on Lawmakers, Spouses Trading Individual Stocks

16 Dec 2021 ~~ By Pail Bois
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said members of Congress and their spouses should not be barred from trading individual stocks as part of the STOCK Act, citing a “free market economy.”
During a press briefing on Wednesday, in response to a report from Insider showing that 49 members of Congress (Democrats and Republicans) have failed to disclose their transactions in accordance with Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, Pelosi was asked if members of Congress and their spouses should be banned from trading individual stocks, thereby preventing insider trading.
“We’re a free-market economy,” Pelosi explained. “They should be able to participate in that.”
Pelosi did note that members of Congress should be revealing their stock transactions, which would show possible insider trading:

As noted by Insider, the STOCK Act of 2012, legislation Andrew Breitbart heavily backed, was designed to combat possible insider trading and conflicts of interests among members of Congress, forcing “lawmakers to be more transparent about their personal financial dealings”:
~Snip~
Lawmakers who violate the STOCK Act could be fined up to $200, a small penalty that has led several ethics watchdog groups to call for harsher penalties or an all-out ban on lawmakers from trading stocks – a practice by which Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, have become considerably wealthy. This year, for instance, weeks prior to the House Judiciary Committee’s vote on the antitrust legislation aimed at some major Big Tech companies, Paul Pelosi began “exercising call options to acquire 4,000 shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, at a strike price of $1,200,” according to Bloomberg. The trade netted Pelosi a $4.8 million gain.

Commentary:
Sorrowfully, Politcians once elected to public office become avaricious and money hungry seeking the funds of Lobbyists and using insider trading to line their pockets..
Prime examples are Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer and other Democrats that have used insider trading to fill their pockets.
 
What? And screw up legalized crimes?

I find it very hypocritical of these politicians going after Trump, or any president during their tenure about investments.
Yet, they are far more complicit in insider trading. Crimes would be investigated if they weren't on the Hill.

That's easy to say coming from a trollop that can't be correctly boycotted.

I will once again explain just what a criminal whore pelosi is. She has been caught running two political committees since day one She believes if the money taken in is more than the fine you pay then its legal in her book. The army gave San Francisco the Presidio army base to be made a city park for the people of the city. It was a prime piece of property. What it became was upper middle class homes built by pelosi's drunk husband for great profit. If I only had two brain cells to rub together for heat I would never vote for a criminal cheat but the people of that city lead very cold lives. Running two political committees one year she used some of that money to rent a sky box to see her favorite music group Simon and Garfunkel, and if she rented anything you know she stocked it full of booze. When she had one of her bitch moments she dealt herself a 737, the bar tab to stock it with booze ran thousands of dollars for her and her jet setting good buddies. she is so corrupt her next face lift she will be sporting a beard.

No matter what the bitch thinks politicians are still under Insider Trading laws, and it is mot hard to probe piticians' spouses have committed Insider Trading.

Pelosi herself has been caught twice, and the 3rd time we are to believe her alcoholic idiot husband just happened to make an extremely smart investment move regarding a stock his wife just happened to have direct insight on from her political committees?!

:bsflag: Only a snowflake would buy that shit.
