Nancy Pelosi and her husband have made over $300 million on stock trades using insider information obtained from her role as Speaker of the House.

This has become so open and blatantly obvious that Nancy and her husband no longer "waste their time" on simply trading stocks. In order to multiply their loot, they simply trade naked call options, not the stocks. Naked call options are about as close to gambling as one can get...................................... unless you know in advance information that will move a stock higher.

So..................... with Pelosi obviously ripping off the nation (not quite as bad as Biden and the Clintons selling information to foreign governments), how can liberals defend her actions and suggest that she go unpunished for her corruption? Do democrats EVER CARE about democrat corruption? If Nixon was a democrat, there is no way in hell he would have faced the possibility of impeachment, as the dems would have covered for him.

The liberals defense:

"But Trump" "But Trump" "But Trump"

They really can't help themselves.

Hillary Clinton has been Crooked Hillary since the late 70's when she cashed in $100k on a cattle futures trade. That was insider trading because there's no way a novice makes that kind of money on their first trade. No chance.

They don't need to 'defend' it. They just ignore it, confident that the media isn't going to make it an issue.

I don't see liberals defending this. I see them being rather vocal calling for stock trading by members of Congress to be prohibited.

The Left will defend this by downplaying it. If it was a Republican that was doing what Pelosi did, they would amplify it and the media would make sure it would be front page, top story, scandal headline grabbing outrage.

That’s how the Left influences the public and they do it quite well, too.

Do you even see the irony here?

No?

Perhaps if I were to add a "BUT" before Hillary? Maybe you just can't help yourself.

Topic has nothing to do with either.
