Others were dumping stock too - not Congress Critters, but CEO's! There was an article showing one CEO dumping BILLION$ - Bezos for one, supposedly to fund his SpaceX rocket company! He DOES have a history of selling BILLION$ so might not be nefarious, but could be!

Yes. It’s illegal for you or I to trade on inside info. But it’s 100% legal for Congress to do it.
That’s not hyperbole or fake news. It’s verifiably true.

It used to be. I thought they closed that loophole a few years ago now. I'll have to recheck to verify.
It’s verifiably true.
No, it's not. Congress members haven't been exempt from securities laws since 2012.
