Unfortunately, politicians do this all the time. It’s not just now. If you track their net worths going in and coming out of Congress, it’s FAR more than the $150k, etc. that they make in income. They are privy to tons of non-pubic info and many act on it. Are they supposed to? No. But they are policing themselves and who’s going to turn each other in and wreck the party? So, it’s unfortunate, but it’s always been this way. It’s just that more people are apt to find out about it these days, than in former days.
But, I don’t think anyone should have any advantage, information wise, over another. No.
