Swamp drainer Nancy Pelosi blocked credit card reform while Speaker to invest millions in exclusive Visa Stock offerings

nancy-pelosi-celebrateDear God, what has this world coming to. 60 minutes on CBS doing actual journalism? Did you know members of Congress are free to trade stocks based on inside information with no penalty? Well, you know now. According to this post at Breitbart Big Goverment on the 60 minutes story, Former Speaker of the House and current Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi bought anywhere from $1 million to $5 million of Visa stock in one of the most sought after and profitable initial public offerings (IPO) in American history. Then, while Speaker of the House, she thwarted serious credit card reform for two years, and then watched her investment skyrocket 203%! The information comes from a new book called Throw Them All Out which exposes both Democrats and Republicans by Peter Schweizer.

Demand that Nancy Pelosi drain the swamp and resign immediatley!

Throw Them All Out also chronicles the Pelosis’ $100,000 IPO purchase of Clean Energy Fuels at roughly $12 a share. Schweizer alleges that as Speaker of the House, Pelosi pushed several bills beneficial to the company!

But it’s not just Nancy Pelosi or the corrupt Democrats. Republicans aren’t any better either. The 60 minutes report of course only mentions one Democrat mentioned in the book (Nancy Pelosi), but also names several corrupt Republicans who benefited from these rules too. Including Alabama Congressman Spencer Bachus who should have been primaried last year anyway. Even Weeper Boehner is mention, as well as former New Hampshire RINO Senator Judd Gregg. BTW, anyone ask how much Obama’s wealth grew while an Illinois Senator?
