“The SEC investigation is based on a suspected violation of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, the 2012 law which set limits for what non-public information Congress members and their aides could share that might move the stock markets.”
Of course this did little to stop the insider trading by those in the echelons of the legislative, judicial and executive tiers of our government. The corruption just continues on as the recipients of “non-public information” enrich themselves and their cohorts. Then proceed to weasel out of any incrimination as they get support from he millionaires club of Congress.
When, oh, when will John Boehner pontificate on the illegal behavior of the House?

This is just a distraction from Benghazi.
Or something.

Pretty simple.
Talk about it amongst yourselves, including arguing and debate —> No Problem.
Talk about it to others so they can profit from news before it’s actually news ----> Problem!
Whoops, we’re talking about the GOP here, and it’s always about how to make money for self. Sorry, I forgot the Prime Directive.

I’m not saying that the suit should go forward just to irritate and dominate the Republicans timeframes of pursuing petty, wasteful, frivolous, lawsuits and investigations. I’m saying, for every ridiculous claim that the Repubs make, hit them back with two that are very real against them.
Quit letting the obstructing losers play their games without penalty!
If this was an obstruction case, for instance, the Repubs would obstruct that too, without getting the irony.
