I would have more faith in SEC trying to protect the “integrity of the market” when they pursue all the Congressman and their family cronies actively using insider information to trade.

It's legal, that's the sad thing and why there is no action against it until congress takes action to make it illegal. Yes there is a massive conflict of interest there.
Not sure what part of insider trading is legal [1]

I think

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2655

is currently aimed at this problem.

That’s legal so I’m not sure what the SEC can do about that.
