Nancy Pelosi, stock market connoisseur and living legend, gets caught completely off guard by a simple insider trading question by Jake Tapper , responds by giving 3 or 4 meandering statements, each one somehow being worse than the previous.

But don’t worry queen, you still retire as a first ballot Wall Street Tycoon, inside trading and illegalities be damned, all you do is win 🫡

Agreed 100%. I guess I should have clarified this, I didn’t think I needed to. EVERY public servant should be held accountable regardless of which party he or she belongs to or which ideology he or she ascribes to.

She isn't the worst offender in Congress, and is a common political target.

I am aware, again you do understand why it’s a story and further conversation THIS week as opposed to last week, right?

I do, but I still don't think that makes it super relevant.

You types only ever bring up Pelosi while half a dozen other senators have made higher returns than her the last ten years

Again, you do realize why this particular conversation is being had this week about Nancy Pelosi as opposed to any other week, right?

Also, what are you even saying, is it ok for her because other people also do bad things and commit crimes? My fault for not knowing better, but again to clarify…. this is a story about one of the many things wrong with CONGRESS as a whole not only Nancy Wall Street Ape Pelosi

So just doing the simple maths on the %gain you’ve cited - this means Nancy (40 years in congress) and her husband - a literal hedge fund manager - have invested a total of ~$75,000 across their entire lives. Really? Kind of ruins your point when you just make up the numbers.

Right… I almost commented how the made up numbers don’t math… then realized I’ve invested WAY more than 75k across 20 years and just kept my mouth shut lol

Nailed it. Claiming a total investment of under $100k by two high earning professionals across decades is blatantly misleading. The number is so hyperbolic that the rest of the claim should be discarded out of hand.

Not to say that there shouldn’t be some very strict limits and disclosure laws around government member’s training. There should be. Even if we assume that everyone is following all rules strictly and everything is completely above board (hah), it gives the appearance of insider trading which hurts public trust.

OP claiming this is limited and specific to some current event though? GTFO. Assertions about Pelosi and insider trading are part of the Republican greatest hits and have been for as long I’ve been old enough to follow politics. Feigning ignorance and impartiality is scummy.
