&gt;Ranking outside of the top 10 and also failing to beat the market was former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Well known for her stock trading disclosures between herself and her husband, Pelosi had a return of -19.8% in 2022 according to the report.

That is not what I expected. That makes it strange that she hits headlines when there are plenty of others to point a finger at who are beating the market significantly.

Yeah, it’s more than a little suspect that Pelosi is the poster child for insider trading when she’s not nearly the worst one, and she’s down 20 percent. It’s almost like the disinformation merchants are lying …

That said, it’s inexcusable that anyone in Congress is allowed to do this. I rarely subscribe to “both sides are bad,” but in this case both sides are bad.

And it’s so unnecessary. If a member of Congress wanted to launder money into their own pocket, there are easier ways than trading on inside information. For instance, you can have someone ghost write a shitty book. Then have your dark money donor buy two million copies of your book, and presto, you’re a multi-millionaire. Or just have the Saudis dump $2 billion in your “investment company.” That works too.
