    What insider knowledge did she have?

    If there is appropriate evidence then yes.

    If there’s evidence, of course.

    Almost every time I’ve dug into accusations against Pelosi they seem incredibly weak at best.

    For example, the allegation here is that Paul sold three months before the investigation became public (and there’s no explanation for how he found out before that supposedly)

    This is a frequent tactic that authoritarians use to go after their opposition.

    As long as there is evidence and it isn’t just Nancy Pelosi because she’s a Democrat.

    first, it needs to be made illegal.

    Then, yes, her and anybody who trades using insider information.

    Frankly, I think all congresscritters should have to divest or put their money in a blind trust. AT MOST maybe invest in index-based mutual funds, but even that can be manipulated as trump just showed.

    If she participated in insider trading, then yes she should. I don’t care what political party someone is – you break the law, you need to be held accountable.

    Sure, if they think they can prove it to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

    That goes for every politician who commits crimes, which is usually where I lose MAGA people.

    Rule 2

    A New York post article about Donald Trump making random allegations about Nancy Pelosi is not much of a question.

    Also, it’s pretty clear that the answer is going to be that people who commit crimes should face consequences if those crimes can be proven.
