QuebecOverCanada Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Nancy Pelosi was asked a question by a journalist if whether or not members of Congress should be able to buy individual stocks when they are making laws. Her answer is stunningly honest, she says politicians have a right to 'participate' in the economy. Pelosi's portfolio consists recently of Big Tech companies, monopolies which she said she will back down from regulating according to sources in Congress quoted by the NYP. "Late last month, the House Speaker disclosed that the Pelosis scooped up millions in bullish call options for stocks including Google, Salesforce, Micron Technology and Roblox. At the same, some insiders say she has slow-walked efforts to rein in Big Tech." https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2022/01/07/nancy-pelosi-makes-30-million-from-tech-stocks-scoffs-at-push-to-ban-congressional-trades/amp/ Is it limited to Pelosi? Not at all according to the New York Mag: "But getting away with it generally isn’t much of a problem. Members of Congress, for example, have protections enshrined in the Constitution that make it difficult for them to be prosecuted for insider trading, and they are not subject to conflict-of-interest laws that generally apply to the executive branch. The four senators reportedly investigated by the Justice Department during the early days of the pandemic were Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina; Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California; Kelly Loeffler, the Republican from Georgia who lost her Senate seat; and Jim Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma. The probe followed news reports that the senators sold stock after receiving briefings on the dangers of COVID before the public knew about it — and before markets began to tank on the news." https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/01/washington-d-c-has-an-insider-trading-problem.html --- How do the Americans fix this issue if those who could fix it are the ones benefiting from it?

ironstone Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I guess it's one big reason why so many career politicians become wealthy way beyond the salaries they earn. Tucker Carlson recently did a story about the Pelosi's and how their net worth has been skyrocketing for years. She is totally shameless.

Nancy Pelosi is a name that comes out a lot, and not only on Tucker Carlson show on Fox News. Even the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is calling her out. She is also symbolically speaking very significant as being the leader of the House. It's also big time for Conservatives to call out Bitch Mc Connell, Dick Burr and Kelly Lessair regularly and to put maximum pressure on them as well. Heads have to roll on both sides.

ironstone Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Nancy Pelosi net worth is estimated to be $120 million.

And have a bit of political culture/knowledge if you want to contribute. Your posts are incredibly misinformed, misdirected and above all ignorant. Come on, you're really going to debate Nancy Pelosi did partake in insider trading, alongside many other figures I cited? Why this urge to defend team Blue?

As before, I ask all posters to produce the evidence of what you say when you say they got it fraudulently because that is what you are saying. Don't you think she would have enough enemies to ping her if she was doing it? Of course they would. Why are democrats not allowed to become wealthy? That seems to be a republican no no. Are you a type of jealous by not knowing they are smart? The same crap appeared over Obama but conveniently forgotten both of them had legal backgrounds and he was a senator. They made millions from writing hooks. Remember that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible, the amount of coping and willful blindness you display, I am condemning it, be it 'team Red' or 'team Blue'. You must have real problems to avoid in life as well that explains your recourse to such aberrant conclusions, but no one is blinder than the one who blinds itself on purpose. Someone tells you there is a snot on your nose, wipe it. Don't be like 'Oh but you have snots too so it's ok'. This is really damaging to our system to treat corruption and serious issues the way you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristides Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 You are accusing Pelozi of buying stock and then Introducing legislation that will increase that stock’s value.

Aristides Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Should all members of Congress have to sell any stock they hold if any legislation they might pass will increase its value and should they have to keep any stock they own if that legislation might decrease its value?

Nancy Pelosi, husband have gotten very wealthy during her House career (lawenforcementtoday.com) Pelosi has a big role in making the rules that might help or hinder big companies like Visa. If there was anything in this story by Jesse Watters that is patently false and defamatory then why isn't Nancy Pelosi suing Watters for defamation? This topic is about Nancy Pelosi and insider trading. Democrats and Republicans engage in this but it doesn't make it right. They have a huge leg up on the rest of us.
