  You say "conveniently" as if it were modified to make the rules less onerous for members of Congress but that wasn't the case. From your link: "Under the new law, the beefed-up reporting requirements will still apply to the president, vice president, members of Congress and candidates for Congress."

    Yeah I just ran with the first paragraph in that article. But further reading shows the rules stuck for congress. Regardless theres still an issue in my opinion when Nancy Pelosis husband is buying Microsoft calls one month before they are awarded a large government contract and several other suspiciously timed trades.

      Oh, I 100% agree about that. My pedantic side is just coming out and I wanted to point out the problem isn't that there's no rule, or there was a rule and it went away ... it's that we can't trust Congress to enforce rules on itself.
