[quote] [b]GOP lawmaker talked stocks with colleagues[/b] [t]http://i.imgur.com/O4VjJir.jpgF[/t] Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) has boasted about how much money he’s made for other members of Congress by tipping them off to an Australia-based pharmaceutical company in which he is the largest stockholder, two GOP lawmakers told The Hill. Collins, President Trump’s chief defender and unofficial spokesman on Capitol Hill, told a group of House GOP colleagues over dinner earlier this year that he had urged colleagues to invest in Innate Immunotherapeutics and made them plenty of money in the process, said one GOP lawmaker who was present for the conversation.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;52332464]I believe Congress and Senate members are exempt from laws that make trading on insider information illegal. Murrica, I guess[/QUOTE] It's amazing that they're exempt from anything regarding the law to be honest. That's just placing themselves above it.

There's nothing particularly illegal about what he's doing if he isn't putting out sensitive board-privy information. The guy sounds like a total asshole but he's really not wrong. I was invested in IIL for a while last year and it did go pretty well.
Cronyism, insider trading, removing fiduciary rules... What a shitshow.
