Pelosi Is Just the Tip of the Democrats’ Insider Trading Iceberg
When the topic of insider trading in Congress comes up, Democrats are quick to accuse Republicans of corruption. Yet when the violations involve one of their own, the outrage disappears.
The STOCK Act, passed in 2012, was intended to prohibit lawmakers from trading stocks using inside information gained through their official duties. It requires members of Congress, their spouses, and senior staff to report certain financial transactions over $1,000 within 45 days.
In theory, that makes it harder for lawmakers to conceal suspicious trades. In practice, the penalty for violating the law is $200—an amount so trivial it might as well be nothing.
In 2023, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA11) nearly tripled the S&P 500’s returns. That performance alone drew public criticism. But Pelosi is not unique. Many in Congress are guilty of similar behavior—and the most revealing cases are the ones where the democrats stays silent.
One of the clearest examples came when Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York repeatedly failed to file his transaction reports on time. Across nearly 300 personal financial transactions worth at least $3.2 million, Suozzi ignored the STOCK Act’s deadlines. When asked whether he paid fines for the violations, Suozzi either refused to comment or simply didn’t respond.
The independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) investigated and unanimously concluded there was “substantial reason to believe” Suozzi violated the STOCK Act. But when the case reached the House Committee on Ethics, the outcome was predictable.
The committee ruled there was not “clear evidence” that he had committed “knowing or willful” violations, effectively dismissing the charges.
This is where the bipartisan silence becomes obvious. Republicans, who regularly criticize Democrats for corruption, had little to say about Suozzi’s violations. Likewise, Democrats remain quiet when a Republican is accused of doing the same thing.
Going after the other party would mean admitting the problem is bipartisan — and that could bring unwanted scrutiny to their own financial dealings.
The STOCK Act’s failure is rooted in its lack of real consequences. A $200 fine for a violation is meaningless to lawmakers who can make thousands, or even millions, through trades that benefit from nonpublic information.

Fury as Israel admits deliberately killing Al Jazeera team of five
Qatari channel rejects claims that correspondent Anas Al Sharif was associated with Hamas
Israel has been condemned for the deliberate killing of an Al Jazeera crew of five in Gaza.
Anas Al Sharif, 28, was among a group of five Al Jazeera journalists who were killed in a strike on a tent near Shifa Hospital in eastern Gaza city. An official at the hospital said two other people were also killed in the strike.
The other journalists killed were Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed Noufal, Al Jazeera said.
A press freedom group and a UN expert previously warned that Mr Al Sharif's life was in danger due to his reporting from Gaza. UN special rapporteur Irene Khan said last month that Israel's claims against him were unsubstantiated.
Al Jazeera said Mr Al Sharif had left a social media message to be posted in the event of his death that read, “I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or misrepresentation, hoping that God would witness those who remained silent”.
The Israeli army claimed that Mr Al Sharif was a “Hamas leader” posing as an Al Jazeera journalist. The network and journalists' groups have denied the accusations.
In a statement, the Committee to Protect Journalists, which in July urged the international community to protect Mr Al Sharif, said Israel had failed to provide any evidence to back up its allegations against him.
“Israel’s pattern of labelling journalists as militants without providing credible evidence raises serious questions about its intent and respect for press freedom,” said Sara Qudah, CPJ’s director for the Middle East and North Africa.
Mr Al Sharif, whose X account showed more than 500,000 followers, posted on the platform minutes before his death that Israel had been intensely bombarding Gaza city for more than two hours.

Vice President Vance Drops a BOMB During Gateway Pundit Interview: “There Are Active Investigations – You Won’t Be Aware of Until We Announce the Conclusion of the Investigation”
The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed Vice President J.D. Vance last week in Washington DC. The video was first aired at the “VINDICATION” Conference on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Jim Hoft: I agree, totally. We did see some progress today, or yesterday, where they sent out some subpoenas to Hillary Clinton and some others.
Vice President Vance: Yeah, we’re sending out some subpoenas, and there are actually some active investigations, I think, that probably you won’t be fully aware of until we announce the conclusion of those investigations. But the President has been very clear, the Attorney General, the FBI director have been very clear. They are looking at law-breaking. For people who broke the law, it’s not going to be a slap on the wrist, We’re sorry, have a nice life. It’s going to be, You’ve got to face consequences for it. I really think it’s our sacred obligation to the American people to ensure that those who broke the law pay the price for it.
