Why do we care if staffers insider trade? They aren't the ones calling the shots and someone will be on that side of that trade regardless of what they do. If some guy on capitol hill makes a bunch shorting something then good for them. The alternative is having some random liquidity provider make the money. I'm far more concerned with whether or not staffer's immediate family and friends are going on fishing trips and attending sports events at the expense of corporate interests and activist organizations.
