House Passes "Stop Insider Trading" Bill to Forbid Congressmen from Trading Individual Stocks (Using Insider Information);
Noted Lifelong Inside-Trader Nancy Pelosi Votes Against It

The bill would allow congresmen to own stocks as part of money markets or indexes -- big groups of stocks traded by managers without input from the customer.

They, and their families, will just be barred from buying and selling individual stocks, where a congressman could make a killing based on insider knowledge of coming government action that could boost, or crush, a specific company's valuation.

But congressmen have been permitted to use their insider information -- either granted to them by their position on a committee or tipped to them as a straight-up bribe by company officials seeking official favor -- for decades. That's why every other congressman is a millionaire in six years.

This bill would stop that.

Except for when Congress starts modifying the bill by adding exceptions.

House passes 'Stop Insider Trading Act' in bipartisan vote
Democrats who opposed the legislation argued that the bill does not go far enough because it prohibits members of Congress and their families from buying new individual stocks, but it doesn't prevent them from owning them.
The House of Representatives in a bipartisan vote on Wednesday passed the "Stop Insider Trading Act," which bans lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks.
The bill passed in a 232-198 vote, with 13 Democrats supporting the legislation. A similar bill is in the Senate.
Democrats who opposed the bill argued that it does not go far enough because it prohibits members of Congress and their families from buying new individual stocks, but it doesn't prevent them from owning them.
"For too long, Americans struggling to make ends meet have watched as lawmakers have entered office just to leave as multi-millionaires," House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement. "This type of behavior is unacceptable and diminishes the American people's trust in this institution.

Nancy Pelosi has been a virulent opponent of such a ban in the past. That's because she's become one of the richest women of the country while "serving" in Congress.

The Democrats voted against this bill with the pretextual excuse "we want the bill to go farther" but one suspects they don't want the bill at all. Democrats have shown that they go into politics to plunder money from the public.

In 2021, Nancy Pelosi was asked if Congress should be banned from trading stocks and responded, “No… This is a free market.”

She exposed herself previously. 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/TuW35yLPwJ https://t.co/ucglQ1YsUS

When Trump accused her of insider trading last year, Nancy Pelosi defended herself PERFECTLY by saying it's not her who trades stocks, it's her husband, and the money he makes goes into her accounts, so everything's on the level because she is not her husband.

And she certainly wouldn't tell her husband which stocks to buy up or dump.

"Cite?" as Jake Tapper would say in a DM.

Nancy Pelosi responds to Trump demanding an investigation into Nancy Pelosi for insider trading:

"That's ridiculous. I very much support the stop the trading of members of Congress...I'm not into it, my husband is” https://t.co/8S6Tys90p4 pic.twitter.com/hUH8t8xDVo

It is hard to make the case you should be bound by something someone else does. But if it holds up then you just move to the next relative, or family held trust in line.

I still think their assets should be put in a government held trust which returns an amount equal to the increase in GDP minus the inflation rate. Then all of the incentives would be correct.

Supreme Court already ruled on the issue. We just need Congress to follow laws that fall upon everyone else. "US Supreme Court ruled unanimously to uphold an insider trading conviction of an individual (tippee) who traded while aware of material non-public information (MNPI) received from a friend (tipper) who did not receive a financial benefit for providing the tip. Salman v. United States, No. 15-628, 2016 WL 7078448 (U.S. Dec. 6, 2016). The ruling, written by Justice Samuel Alito, settles a split of authority between the US Court of Appeals for the Second and Ninth Circuits regarding whether a tipper receives a “personal benefit” for purposes of establishing insider trading liability by simply conveying MNPI to a family member or friend."

It’s actually not that hard to prove. Because there’s always a paper trail or pattern that is highly suspicious.

And in the case of congess, it will be easy to prove insider trading when Congresscum X finds out on Monday that there’s gonna be a new regulation that hugely benefits Company Y, and on Wednesday X makes a big buy in Y.

That’s why congress is so afraid of this.

______________________

So, call their bluff and be very, very loud about calling their bluff. Make it illegal to own stocks when serving as a House or Senate representative. Make full divestiture a condition of holding national office. I have no problem with that. And, when the hold outs come back with another condition, THEN go full press on showing the public what's going on. Use real numbers of actual accounts via public filings and put some faces on the abuse.

Back when I was at Big Law, it was impossible to trade individual stocks because the firm was always working on some big merger or litigation that wasn’t public. But I would know about it. If I was able to trade on this info, I woulda made millions of dollars a year. Easy.

This. See my post above. I forget exactly what the firm’s rules were, but they were so restrictive it made trading individual stocks almost impossible. And they did not fuck around.

80 this version of the bill has the VoterID law baked in. That's why the dems voted No.

And it doesn't prevent family members from trading. It doesn't do anything but act as a Trojan horse.

Among the complaints was that the measure exempts the president and vice president while allowing lawmakers to keep stocks they already own. Brought to you by the people who called for Joe Biden to go to prison for profiteering from his office.

Sooo are we fucked? Like, I know it's not law yet, but are basically about to pass the fucking SAVE act? Will Dems in the Senate vote against a bill with this name in an election year?

Moskowitz makes a lot of headlines during hearings, but he shows his true colors when it comes time to vote. You’ll see his name quite often voting with Republicans. The guy's a fucking plant.

Obviously the republicans are trash but these sell out democrats are just as bad. No integrity at all

84 It’s actually not that hard to prove. Because there’s always a paper trail or pattern that is highly suspicious.

And in the case of congess, it will be easy to prove insider trading when Congresscum X finds out on Monday that there’s gonna be a new regulation that hugely benefits Company Y, and on Wednesday X makes a big buy in Y.

That’s why congress is so afraid of this.

—-

Insider trading was the genesis of the investigation, but she was never convicted of that. Common misconception that she was. She was convicted of obstruction of justice and related process crimes.

She was an idiot or got terrible legal advice. Or both. It was a small stock trade, barely a rounding error in her net worth. But she was defiant to the SEC/DOJ and basically told them to fuck off. They said ‘fuck me? No, fuck YOU.’ And they went after her hard. And nailed her.

A Pentagon official has been placed on leave after he was filmed bashing President Donald Trump and promising he would “stay” until Trump leaves office so he can “undo whatever’s been done.”

A report from Newsweek identified the man as Brandon Newsom, a senior official in the office of the Secretary of the Navy.

He was filmed by reporter James O’Keefe, of O’Keefe Media Group, who conducts undercover investigations and interviews.

“In the footage, Newsom can be heard saying that he wanted to ‘stay and stick it out’ at the Pentagon, adding: ‘So that way, when the time comes, I can undo whatever’s been done [by the Trump administration],’” the report said.

He said his job has challenged his “morals” and confirms he would not allow “one specific prayer service.”

He was filmed by reporter James O’Keefe, of O’Keefe Media Group, who conducts undercover investigations and interviews.

“In the footage, Newsom can be heard saying that he wanted to ‘stay and stick it out’ at the Pentagon, adding: ‘So that way, when the time comes, I can undo whatever’s been done [by the Trump administration],’” the report said.

He said his job has challenged his “morals” and confirms he would not allow “one specific prayer service.”

This kinda thing always makes me wonder-

Just how many people in gov't and/or the military are there to support the system and serve the American people, and how many are there to purposely subvert the system as much as possible?

169 Mamdani is going to get pushback from Saudi Muslims. They own a shit ton of the luxury apartments on Billionaire's Row in Manhattan (as do the Chinese). It's estimated that while nearly 90% of those units are purchased, only about 46% are occupied most of the year.

They're used tp park wealth, launder money, and keep clear of overseas inflated liability settlements.

171 LBJ made a big announcement that he'd put all his stocks in a blind trust.

Long after LBJ died, his broker disclosed that during the blind trust years, LBJ would call him every night & "suggest" trades.

172 Change the reporting rules. No more of this 45 day crap. Three days to report and a $100,000 fine for every day out of compliance.

173 This raises all sorts of questions. Which prayer service? What kind of prayer services does the Pentagon hold?

Well, not exorcism, that's for damned sure!

Those demos don't really have the Judeo-Christian respect for the sanctity of life. Not a group of people worth pissing off.

It would be entertaining to watch their internal demons fight among each other for dominance on a public stage.

For a grand finale, have Associazione Internazionale degli Esorcisti show up and perform exorcisms.
