A 2012 law makes it illegal for lawmakers to use information from their work in Congress for their personal gain. The law requires them to disclose stock transactions by themselves or family members within 45 days. I made a civilized reference to this article by asking an obvious question as to why Pelosi is allowed to do this without investigation or consequences and AOL deems this something to be scrutinized . Shameful we need Elon Musk to buy AOL so we can have an honest debate .
