Stuff that would have had us in jail for insider trading our elected (?) officials get away with.
Although I don't see Maxine Waters' name on that list, she's evidently done quite well for herself as a member of Congress. And I'm sure Sam Bankman-Fried aka Scam Bankrupt-Fraud helped a bit.
Peter Schweizer's book Throw Them All Out (2011) was quite enlightening. Their trading activities at the time were blessed by their respective "ethics" committees.

Some names that I expected are missing. These are only the folks that are leveraging the stock market. Others are using a more traditional Bidenesque method.

Also, as Harry Truman supposedly once said "You can't get rich in politics. Unless you are a crook."

I have been a small time investor for decades. Nobody makes those types of annual returns without an edge.

Any half way competent prosecutor would threaten Epps with 30 years of hard time unless he divulged information on who put him up to his shenanigans. But I take it this is one of Merrick The Weasel Garland's prosecutors recommending a slap on the wrist in exchange for Epps' silence.

Epps pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds
A lot of J6 protesters who are doing hard time will be interested in this information.

He was a gov't plant. This conviction is simply a convenient cover for action. He will be well compensated for his inconvenience. His legal team (not discussed here), will see to it.
[GEO.TV] Former US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... is fighting to overturn a decision by Maine's election official, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, that disqualified him from participating in the state's Republican presidential primary ballot next year.
Reports from US media reveal that Donald Trump appealed on Tuesday, contesting Bellows' decision, attributing his exclusion to his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
Donald Trump, currently the leading contender for the Republican nomination, approached a state Superior Court, seeking a reversal of Bellows' ruling that barred him from the ballot set for March 5. Bellows, a Democrat, deemed Trump ineligible for office under the US Constitution, citing his alleged role in inciting the insurrection post his defeat in the 2020 election.
Trump's legal team has consistently refuted claims of his involvement in the insurrection and challenged Bellows' authority to exclude him from the ballot.
The decision stemmed from a plea by former Maine politicians urging Bellows to keep Trump off the ballot, citing a constitutional provision disqualifying individuals who engage in "insurrection" after swearing allegiance to the United States.
The secretary of state is elected biannually by ballot of members of both houses of the Maine Legislature assembled together,[2] identical in procedure to its neighbor, New Hampshire.[3] The position is elected at the start of the first session of the Maine Legislature, which also sits for a two-year term, concurrent with the other constitutional officers of Maine.[2]

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
