Congress: Trading stock on inside information?

Steve Kroft reports that members of Congress can legally trade stock based on non-public information from Capitol Hill.

[@colt9206]

i just saw pelosi on tv this morning, saying she is going to fight corruption in d.c. it reminded me of this clip.

[@Btouhy1]

Shes The King of it.. so the story is about her actually

[@c0unt3rStrik3s0urc3]

what do you mean, can you send me some sources? Thanks

[@manchesterutdfan66]

She's corrupt herself..

[@billg5710]

Pelosi needs to fire herself and take her $24,000 Refrigerators and expensive chocolates with her.

[@alexhatcher8812]

good times, when journalists still asked tough questions. sadly, 10 years later, she's still in office.

[@BrianHolmes]

I have a renewed respect for 60 minutes.

[@gophop]

even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually

[@bamakaze]

This version of 60 Minutes no longer exists.

[@BrianHolmes]

@@bamakaze 5 years went by so fast and took so long. I am watching this episode again, it's relevant.

[@bamakaze]

@@BrianHolmes this video is relevant. Which is my point. 60 minutes no longer makes this kind of great reporting.

[@BrianHolmes]

@@bamakaze Oh, okay. I was surprised when I first watched it, haven't seen any real journalism from it since. Moral for corporate TV? Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[@AutumnExplore]

Term Limits! Since they'll never make Term Limits law, Always Vote Against The Incumbent! Always!

[@tehKap0w]

the best part is that both sides are calling this a partisan attack.

[@fukdat420y]

They've been doing it for years HELLOOOOO!!!! Wake up

[@fukdat420y]

CRIMINALS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS!!!

[@jeanjones1846]

These people are nothing but criminals.... vote Trump 2020

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

crooks, crooks and more crooks 9:45 the undisputed queen bee of crooks

[@RamonaSteam]

Thank you for the tremendous enlightenment, to the citizens of the United States. No other news organization comes close, to the investigative reporting of 60 minutes.

[@Odin31b]

How the Swamp works..

[@wcemichael]

Thank you. Very eye opening. We already knew about the corruption, now we have in insight into just ONE aspect of it!

[@HTHAMMACK1]

"they pass laws against this already but now they have this leadership pacts" They gutted that law before they passed it.

[@samimotaghedi]

Yep, it was political theatre when they passed the Stock Act in 2012

[@samimotaghedi]

Update: Congress passed the Stock Act, but the fkers gutted it quietly the following year😂🤦‍♀️

[@Masada1911]

Sami Motaghedi *shocked pikachu face*

[@cozmoG]

Our government is totally dysfunctional. Remember: All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good me to do nothing. We the people have to be the change, real change, not a campaign slogan. The eyes of the world are on us, citizens of the United States of America.

[@jdev789]

Still going on today - by both parties ...

[@EdwardIsAPixie]

@Pauly69s I agree. What's to stop them from passing that insider knowledge off to someone else for a cut of the profit? Blind trusts won't solve anything.

[@jaymewebster7744]

Shameful, immediate disclosure and throw every bum out of office

[@w.m.montague4395]

the laws that govern this type of actions need to be changed to eliminate this loop hole.

[@and61000]

What a fantastic piece of journalism. I applaud CBS 60 minutes to air this. So I called every congressman/woman 10 of them from Massachusetts. None of the office has even heard about STOCK bill HR1148. No wonder!! Call your representative and request them to co-sponsor the HR 1148. a dalal

[@PetsNPatients]

Time to revisit this!!!!!

[@themachine3490]

I'm not sure how this only has 73K Views... share this video far and wide.

[@daiggles]

Thank you, 60 Minutes.

[@elbozo5723]

Fantastic, but would love an update post STOCK act

[@andyrains843]

Lets putt this Back on u tube

[@treymccolley6624]

How does the happen? And a person gets life for selling weed. This is beyond Crazy!!!!! No wonder we have the government.

[@VALGBFAN1]

When you make the laws, you can exempt yourself from everything. The Mob is jealous.

[@slitor]

13:13 haha, wow that is one slick politician.

[@dakruise1]

Why didn't this get more attention?

[@MrMattyB16]

Vote them all out. Update our constitution to work in today's society, and this government might have a chance to last a little longer now that it's on borrowed time.

[@bradymoritz]

I... did not know this.

[@jangofatt7135]

Is what david Trone filed yesterday a violation of this? 90+ million in T-bills…

[@663rainmaker]

3-27-2020 and here we are Today! What does it Matter Now!

[@sevenzdown]

@dnnylee "we didn't" was coming out of her mouth before he even finished the question. You can see the spin wheels starting to turn over. She's a liar.

[@pelican232]

Words "Yes We Can" have a new meaning now... They all should be in jail !

[@stephenantonsson1516]

Term Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits. They'll still steal but not nearly as much.

[@magr187]

@and61000 I love the show, and they are true journalists. I see WAY to many journalists that are afraid of critical journalism and are not too interested spending time digging for answers.

[@kxmode]

separate but equal

[@miken5771]

Trading stock on inside information? No Shit!

[@slitor]

+Michael Nguyen on "Insider" information not public ones.

[@jerryschutte6970]

Yes Nancy is just one of us regular folk.....just add $200 Million

[@themachine3490]

People need to share this a lot, this is total BS for Congress to do this. No wonder Congress doesn't do shtt

[@jeradblazek677]

Mama always said, crooked is crooked does.

[@BrooklynAvenue]

@RamonaSteam Did you miss how this also involved Boehner?

[@goonie79]

This the duopoly effect, where both parties point fingers at each other while Wall Street is laughing all the way to the bank.

[@jazmaine1234567890]

I always think they are a bunch of crooks

[@danielsmiths5649]

It only has that appearance when you call me out on it 🤣🤣🤣

[@akwhiteraven]

BUT MARTHA WENT TO JAIL!!!!!!

[@jacekr2655]

Excellent point!

[@BrooklynAvenue]

How do we get Brian Baird to run again?

[@swim2win86]

This is why we need term limits. We just keep voting the same people in and they are corrupted by power. We should demand they look at and pass the stock act. Or better yet make it illegal for them to trade stocks or buy large amounts of land while in office both member & spouse.

[@dnnylee]

@VictoryRepublican I concur : }

[@crsn891]

Now you know how these politicians get uber rich.

[@FrancisofMaine]

Richard burr and kelly loeffler

[@gettinglucky]

2023: They're still doing it on both sides of the aisle

[@moviesforrandy]

and they never heard of the stock act. or do they even care.

[@ymcc5098]

now 2020.......

[@brianMcGranahan0311]

We see it, we know it, we understand it. But we will do nothing about it. Because we are weak and feeble

[@joanridgeway3674]

If we all knew what was gona happen tomorrow we all would invest.

[@synthiaraeathletics617]

back when news was real and not fake .

[@gsimpson1130]

Maybe this is where it starts. We force them to blind trust their accounts and pass the Stock Act. The problem is how?

[@mchlive6930]

Here we are again in 2020.

[@krismine99]

Burr is more suspicious than Loeffler, hers is run by an advisor and that was confirmed by Intercontinental Exchange, people ignored Feinsteins because she lost money on it.

[@ReeferTim]

@herezj It was LIKE a DEER CAUGHT in the HEADLIGHTS it was LIKE GREAT

[@K3nn3dy1960]

VOTE COL. PENNY BAILEY FOR CONGRESS!

[@blakdeth77]

I think I saw flames start to shoot out of her eyes.

[@joejones1154]

I always wondered why these politicians would serve for 30 years.

[@moviesforrandy]

aglobal melt down in a few days. i could understand if he had said in a year or two.. but a few days. these people dont even have a clue of how to run this country. makes me sick.

[@CM-ge4cl]

and yet she still is allowed to do it.

[@martyshannon7542]

Drain the Swamp !!!!

[@duckhawkninja3614]

Ironic considering all the Trump supporting Republican Congressmen that recently got accused of doing this.

[@shootthemoon6072]

These people sicken me. They should be peeled like an apple for what they're doing to this country to line their own pockets.

[@jimijackson]

@StreetLethalRacing UMMM AND BOEHNER???

[@dnnylee]

STOP AT FRAME 10:04 Would like to read everybody's comment or ideas as to what they think of when they see her at frame 10:04 just to see if I'm thinking the same as others might.

[@alrino9820]

Total Corruption

[@refink33]

can't say I'm surprised...

[@moviesforrandy]

so what is going to be done about this? NOTHING

[@scottab140]

Blind Trust.....

[@davidmelvin4979]

What’s good for them? It’s good for us. No double standard. We need to vote on the laws that govern these people work for us and I believe they should be in prison in the story.

[@zeroworldcraft]

So, the secret service just protects criminals?? They aren't civil employees who are responsible to the law?? Since when?

[@dnnylee]

RE-ELECT NO ONE

[@reallybadaim118]

10:04 the shakes.

WHY have these politicians not been charged with inside trading... Pelosi and her husband should be in jail.

[@PetsNPatients]

And prosecute

[@maggielawson5834]

I’m surprised this was on CBS considering how left winged it is. I did see the like and dislike number is disabled.

[@chriskennison3471]

You never saw it ever again though did you? From any of the DNC's networks.

[@TooBadAboutit]

Trust nature: Natural Law. Nature works in harmony to produce and sustain all life on earth. Your organs: Liver, heart, long intestine, etc all work together to keep you alive. There is no free enterprise system in nature. Greed is a human construct based out of fear of "not having enough" or "not being enough to go around." There's enough to go around, if we use our natural resources efficiently. "There is enough for everybody's need, but not enough for anybody's greed" - Mahatma Gandhi.

[@vikd4292]

well it costs millions to run a campaign, you need a return on your investment and 176,000 dollar salary is really low. You don't go thru all that for that crud salary.

[@SunsetSheen]

Ron Paul, he's the only shot we got America

[@TylerJordan601]

SunsetSheen so sorry we lost brother; lost causes are all ways the best option that no one wanted

[@jamalginsburg7277]

Ron Paul has also been known to loosly spend tax payer money. Peter writes about it in his book EXTORTION.

[@matasuki]

How do we clean the rot from Congress? Like really clean it up?

[@jordanmunk3041]

Ask yourself why all these corrupt people are so adamant about Trump's corruption?

[@christopherdipietro9145]

What is your opinion about this video? What do you think the government should or should not do about it? Why does the government allow it to happen? What are the solutions to this problem?

[@lennykoss8777]

🤔🤔

[@mnordman2007]

@dnnylee nancy got mighty defensive right there... she sounds like she thinks she's guilty of something

[@alrino9820]

We need a totally non-political group of average men and women to make the rules for government officials. Compensation, term limits, benefits, time off, pensions, medical benefits, insider trading, bribes, harassment clams and a multitude of other issues that the people in power are NOT capable of making. This group must be above all elected and appointed officials making the will of the people undisputed and in immediately enacted, and in some cases retroactively imposed. This program would have the effect of self draining the swamp. Not many current politician would stick around for a fair compensation package leaving only a few patriots remaining. Those others would be replaced with average Americans that have NO political experience. They will serve for a set amount of time and then return to the private sector jobs. Private sector retirement plans, and medical benefits having the riches that come with been proud to serve.

[@Zamirdejesus]

Its incredible that they do so more on then what their job is. i do think that they are highly unethical and wrong. Those rules are deem not apply.

[@billypilgrim7838]

if you can't lie no better than that you might as well tell the truth

[@SecularDarwinism]

How does this have 35 k views?

[@Btouhy1]
