"Because I think that, why would you assume that members of Congress are going to be inherently bad or corrupt? We already have the STOCK Act that requires people to report stock trades."

The STOCK Act of 2012 that only requires disclosures (which is how we found out about the scammers listed above) has few teeth and, has never been seriously enforced!!!

It's funny how Martha Stewart went to prison for insider trading, but Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville, also one of the insiders in the January 6th coup attempt, broke the laws on insider trading that would have landed you in prison over 130 times, and cashed out $849,000 in the process.

And Luria wonders why voters assume that members of Congress are going to be inherently bad or corrupt...
