The argument that politicians should have the same expectation of privacy as regular citizens while also making their stock transparent is inherently contradictory. Regular citizens do not have to make their stock transactions public, but politicians should be required to.

I think it’s entirely reasonable for politicians to assume a life of less privacy since every aspect of their lives is scrutinized by the press anyway.
