Just putting it here both parties do this notably the republicans politicians have gained more from stocks than any of the two parties. Pelosi is just as coppable as McConnell or anyone else. But the history of irepublicans commiting inside trading more and them being the side screams about corruption so much is ironic

There's also no real evidence that members of congress are 'insider trading', their trades aren't even great compared to your average investor. This is all just virtue signaling on vibes, all of their trades are public if there was real corruption it would be extremely obvious.

How come so many representatives have increasing net worths far exceeding their salary then? Pelosi and like half of the republican lawmakers. There's a reason they haven't made it illegal for politicians to own stocks.
