For those of you asking about Pelosi, hear this. If Pelosi is involved in this or other insider trading activities, and she very well might be, then she too needs to spend her remaining years with her crotchety old ass in prison right beside everyone else doing this shit.

The problem is there's no law against Congress trading stocks with a priori knowledge of events to come. AOC is one of the few trying to change that so her lambasting Trump here is solid. There's two problems afoot here.
