Congressional Insider Trading: The Pelosi Loophole

[AtlasShrugs.com]

Monday, November 14, 2011

Day after day, page after page the blogospherians document stunning abuses of the law, outrageous corruption and, at times, treason while the media works feverishly to protect the liberal elite class in power. There is no seperation of press and state when the Dems reign. The preservation of power is first and foremost, so I commend 60 minutes for ezposing this crime, and yes it is a crime. Any member of Congress, be it R or D, should be arrested and jailed just like the regular folks.

I applaud Steve Kroft’s 60 Minutes segment on Peter Schweizer’s new book  on how Obama donors cash in and a guide to those in Congress who mixed business with governing. Of course, Kroft tries to nail Republicans but the mother lode of corruption is under Pelosi – I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. There ought to be a huge special investigation of all members of Congress. Oh yeah. Kudos to supreme investigative journalist Peter Schweizer. I sat on a panel with him for YAF and he is brilliant. Get the book.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Riot-clad law enforcement officers cleared out a weeks-old anti-Wall Street encampment in Oakland just before dawn Monday, arresting dozens of Occupy demonstrators and clearing out tents from a downtown plaza after issuing several warnings over the weekend.

Protesters appeared to put up little resistance and officers could be seen leading some handcuffed demonstrators away. Warnings from authorities had been similar to those issued before officers used tear gas and bean bag projectiles to clear the encampment on Oct. 25.

Police and sheriff‘s deputies blocked off surrounding streets before Monday’s raid. Afterward, some demonstrators gathered near the barricades and vowed to return.

“I don‘t see how they’re going to disperse us,” said Ohad Meyer, 30, of Oakland. “There are thousands of people who are going to come back.”

The action came a day after police drove hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators from weeks-old encampments in Portland, arresting more than 50 people.

Oakland officials stepped up calls for an end to their city’s encampment after a man was shot and killed Thursday near the plaza. Police issued a fourth cease and desist order Sunday night telling demonstrators they couldn’t camp there.
