SOmebody needs to do this

Is there any way to find out if any of the SHutdown proponents have shorted the market? T-bills and financials, or gone long on bonds? Would this be enough to indict them for Treason? Or market manipulation at a minimum?

I wonder if it could be proven that these ringleaders have had every intention of letting us go off the cliff all this time that they could be charged with some violation and arrested. If the NSA and Obama have any recordings of conversations or any other evidence that this is the case, it seems like they could be charged with a violation of the 14th Amendment. If they're intentionally causing us to not be able to pay our debts, it seems like he could. The vast majority of the country would, I think, support the President if he did that.
