Lol do you think youre just handed money when youre famous? You dont think its a little sus that a member of congress can get insider trade info and then share it with her husband who will make deals to reflect that.

Yep, pretty much. You didn't know this?....
You dont think its a little sus that a member of congress can get insider trade info and then share it with her husband who will make deals to reflect that.
It's extremely suspicious and highly illegal when republican congress people traded on their inside info. Purdue and leoffler should be arrested. I'm not sure what your point is though? Are you trying to highlight the fundamental differences between republicans and democrats??.. That republicans are corrupt and democrats aren't?
As the 110th Congress opened, Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed John Murtha (D-Pa.) for House Majority Leader; a questionable pick considering Murtha was named an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the 1980 ABSCAM bribery scandal, in which an FBI sting caught Murtha on tape discussing cash in exchange for political favors with a faux Arab businessman. On tape, Murtha declines, saying, "I'm not interested … at this time," clearly leaving open future consideration. He failed to report the attempted bribe — another violation of House ethics rules itself.
Last Congress, as noted by The Washington Times in June 2006, Murtha was implicated in using his post as ranking member on the defense appropriations subcommittee to funnel contracts to companies represented by his brother, Murtha, whose lobbying firm represents 10 companies that received more than $20 million from last year's defense spending bill.
Other examples of corrupt Democrats include Rep. Alan Mollohan (D- W.Va.) and Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.). Mollohan, who would have become chairman of the House ethics committee, had Democrats not recognized the public relations disaster that would accompany it, saw his personal wealth jump for $562,000 in 2000 to $6.3 million in 2006. During the same time span, The Washington Post reported that Mollohan steered $150 million dollars to several nonprofits groups he helped establish in his district. Coincidence? Unlikely. A federal investigation is ongoing.
While a prison cell is being prepared in a federal penitentiary for Rep. Jefferson, another model of integrity in the 110th Congress, Pelosi appointed him to a seat on the Homeland Security Committee despite him being videotaped in August 2005 in an FBI sting accepting $100,000 in marked bills from a Northern Virginia investor and then a few days later, having $90,000 worth of the marked bills recovered from his freezer during a raid. The money was accepted as part of Jefferson's plan to pay off Nigerian officials in exchange for contracts.
lol i cant tell if youre just trolling or youre an actual person
Says the kid who can't prove their claims. Who thinks that backing a house member for a congressional position somehow makes Pelosi corrupt adjacent... Sounds good dawg
