If Nancy can get some stock for cheap prior to landing a big government contract, that's not the same as a solider possibly tipping the hand of a delicate military operation.

No one likes insider trading especially when it's done by politicians, but let's not pretend they're the same

No one is dying when Pelosi insider trades.
And who dies when GI Joe bets on the the date of an operation?

And if nobody dies, is it okay?
