I am not an attorney and lack a good handle on how the law works at times. Maybe an attorney can respond explaining what I’m not seeing in the difference between what convicted felon Martha Stewart did and what a number of senators, including Sen. John Hoeven , did that sure seems like insider trading.
Does it matter whether a transaction is the purchase or the sale of stocks? Also, could a court outside of the Houses of Congress bring charges in a matter such as this?
