Nancy Pelosi Made Millions in Big Tech Stocks That She Regulates – Greenwald

OPINION | This article contains commentary that reflects the author's opinion.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made millions of dollars by investing money into the stock market on companies she helps regulates, according to Newsmax investigative report by Glenn Greenwald.

Over the last 17 years, Pelosi’s wealth has reportedly increased to $115 million from $41 million. Most of her and her husband Paul’s wealth is due to “lucrative decisions about when to buy and sell tech stocks,” the report adds. Newsmax continues, “Over the last two years, almost 75% of the trading done by the Pelosis, more than $33 million, has been in Big Tech. Major legislation concerning the industry during the same time frame has been pending before the House, controlled by the committees that Pelosi oversees.”

Is there a conflict of interest? Greenwald says there is. As one example, buying and selling in Apple alone accounted for 17.7% of the Pelosis’ overall trading volume.

Pelosi is accused of having at least one private conversation with Apple CEO Tim Cook during the same period of time, reportedly discussing how pending legislation to reform Silicon Valley could have an impact. Pelosi is reportedly the sixth wealthiest member of Congress. Read the full story at Newsmax.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid compared threats to arrest Texas House Democrats who left the state to the Fugitive Slave Act, according to Fox News. She said, “I have to talk to you about this threat to have you all arrested when you return to Texas and supposedly to track you down like the Fugitive Slave Act is still in force now.” Reid asked her guest, Rep. Chris Turner, “What do you make of that, those threats?”

The Fugitive Slave Act was an 1850 law that amended a prior law requiring all escaped slaves be returned to their owners upon their capture. It forced free states in the North to cooperate and was widely despised by abolitionists. Texas Democrats left their state to prevent a quorum from a special session that would address election security bills.
