Powell criticizes Cantor for loophole in Stock Act.
"He yanked that so he can still legally go home and tell his wife all the inside dope on what Congress is about to do and personally profit from that," Powell charged.
In an interview Thursday, Cantor said the loophole was an "inadvertent error" that occurred when his office drafted the House version of a Senate bill — an error that he corrected when it was brought to his attention.
"It was an absolute mistake and we never intended that to happen, which is why it's been changed," he said in an interview in Tampa, Fla., during the Republican National Convention. "We fixed it."
Cantor said the implication that he advanced a bill with a loophole that would have allowed his family and the families of other members to potentially benefit is "preposterous."
But Powell is not backing down.
"For Cantor to say the spousal exemption was an inadvertent error is a total fabrication," Powell said. "How can it not be, when Cantor put it in the House version he himself wrote?"

I just got paid, and was going to donate a (very) small amount somewhere. There's no one I'd like to see go down this cycle than Cantor.
