Maybe not a popular take but I am calling for this guy to be pardoned. Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice. There is no “justice” when guys like this get the book thrown at him yet members are illegally profiting every day.
I don’t agree with what he did and he should be required to disgorge all the profits however, unless the DOJ plans on doing Congress next, this is not justice.
So you’re telling me you’ve arrested more American soldiers involved in capturing Maduro than people on the Epstein list, or politicians who somehow magically became better investors than Warren Buffett the second they took office?
Wild priorities.
“When Americans look to Washington and wonder why it so often disappoints, it is because there are too few people who are willing to do what it takes to do the right thing—to sacrifice the popularity, flattery, comfort and security that are the purchase price for principle.”
-Justice Clarence Thomas, 2026
