    I wonder why Pelosi is always the mascot for this kind of behavior, when she was like the 6th best performing congressperson, and leagues behind the first?

    Oh, the top 5 were all Republican, got it

      She’s also the one who has fought any attempt to curb it, tooth and nail, for the past couple years.

      Some people say you can’t reason with Republicans but can pressure Democrats. Making Pelosi the figurehead of this puts pressure on Democrats to change.

      Republican voters just elected a felon. They do not and will not care about some insider trading so long as it’s the correct team doing it. Some Democrat voters might care about insider trading.
