Politickin': Insider trading in congress

Most people know Congress is full of crooks, but you probably don't know they get a free pass on insider trading laws. The same federal infraction that sent the almighty Martha Stewart to the clink, goes on all the time in congress, and it's legal?!...you betcha!! In addition to being privy to information the general public doesn't have, they are in a unique position to change laws that might affect the price of stocks, or any industries in which they hold stocks. I'm sure none of these upstanding politicians ever allows their stock portfolio to affect their political decisions, I'm just saying. I hate posting vids with ads, but this is worth it, I'm not a reporter over here...watch with a sedative to prevent seething.
