    I presume it’s because she’s seen in somewhat of a “senior leadership” position.

    Johnny Beluga, the esteemed congressman from butt-munch, Iowa might have five times more illicit gains than her, but no one knows who he is, so fewer people would watch the news to hear about him.

      Man, someone needs to create an index fund which just follows their moves. If we’re not going to punish obvious corruption we might as well get something out of it.

        They don’t have to report their trades until 30 days later, with a slap on the wrist if they violate this incredibly lax requirement. By the time you follow, it may be too late.

          Your mistake was using Butt-munch IA, which is not only real but it’s the county seat of Cornhole Co. Too believable.
