Members of Congress Declare "Immunity" from Insider Trading Probe

quote:
The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee and a top staff member say the panel and its employees are “absolutely immune” from having to comply with subpoenas from a federal regulator in an insider-trading probe.
The committee yesterday responded to U.S. District Court Judge Paul Gardephe’s order to explain why it hadn’t complied with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s requests for documents, phone records and testimony of aide Brian Sutter for more than a year.
quote:
Kerry W. Kircher, the top lawyer for the House, said the SEC’s request should be dismissed because the information it seeks concerns legislative activities protected by the Constitution, which can’t be reviewed by federal judges
quote:
federal insider-trading laws on whether the committee or staff members illegally passed on non-public information about a change in U.S. health-care policy. In seeking compliance with the subpoena demand, the SEC cited a 2012 law that requires public officials to keep confidential any non-public information about government matters that could move stock prices

You think they actually leave Washington?
My last congressman, Richard Baker, never came back to Louisiana after he left office and put down roots in Nova and DC. He's a lobbyist now.

Congress already exempted itself from the ACA,
why stop there?
Laws are for the 'little people'.

Decry the failure to produce documents on one hand, "we don't have to produce documents," on the other.

Quite a little cocoon these scumbags have built for themselves.
Force aca on us, exempt themselves. Use insider information to profit off of aca being forced on us, exempt themselves.

Rotten to the core.
Every single member of Congress knew what they were doing...and therefore should be made to PUBLICALLY account for participating in this. Or have their pension nixed.

An honest response here would require me answering questions from the Secret Service for many many hours.

But, but, but...all the Democrats are scoundrels and the Republicans are on our side.
Wait, no. All the Republicans are sc0oundrels and all the Democrats are on our side.
Which one is it?

term limits y'all, and once you've held a position in congress you can't be a lobbyist.
