Paul Ryan sold shares on same day as private briefing of banking crisis | World news | guardian.co.ukPaul Ryan, Mitt Romney's vice-presidential running mate, sold stock in US banks on the same day he attended a confidential meeting where top level officials disclosed the sector was heading for a deep crisis.
The congressman on Monday denied profiting from information gleaned from the meeting on 18 September 2008 when Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, then treasury secretary Hank Paulson and others outlined their fears for the banking sector.
His office said he had no control over the trades. Public records show that on the same day as the meeting, Ryan sold stock in troubled banks including Wachovia and Citigroup and bought shares in Goldman Sachs, Paulson's old employer and a bank that had been disclosed to be stronger than many of its rivals. The sale was not illegal at the time.

Now, it wasn't illegal at the time and people on both sides of the aisle were participants in activities such as these, but it just doesn't seem right does it?
So when will the arrests be made?
Another quote from you article" "Until this year members of Congress were allowed to trade on price-sensitive information gathered at Washington meetings. Nor is Ryan alone in having done so. CBS's 60 Minutes criticised Democrat Nancy Pelosi for buying into Visa's initial public offering as the House discussed credit card legislation."
Clean house, take em' all. Then "we the people" can start fresh.

After the story was picked up by the media on Monday, the Romney campaign moved to deny it. Talking Points Memo quoted Larry Gaffney, an independent accountant for the partnership that handled the trades questioned by commentators, said the shares were not controlled by Ryan.
"Trades are done automatically based on an algorithm on a regular basis," said Gaffney, in a statement to TPM that was provided by the Romney campaign. "In addition, this index was held at the time within a partnership in which Rep. Ryan had and continues to have no trading authority."

It doesn't matter if a story is BS, the idea is to paint all "others" as uncaring, mean and greedy, so that Obama looks like the only "logical" choice. Obama is Santa Claus and all others are the Grinch, those are the "facts" that need to be supported and, by golly, if this example is not quite right then the MSM will invent another next week. Yes they can!
Got a list of everyone that did it?
Of course not. This was another way to try to show illegalities done SOLELY by Paul Ryan. Same old, same old. You gotta laugh at the dumb attempts that just continue to show the liberals grasping at any straw, even if it's a lie. Tired, tired, tired of the crap.
Anything to avoid discussing Obama's 4 year record of failure.

Hey you been avoiding discussing the 8 years of Bush failures and the 8 years of Reagan failures... so.. fair is fair.
It is insider trading. Had he not been in Congress, then he would go to jail. He is a defacto criminal now.. congrats Romney.

Reagan is dead, Bush is eating BBQ somewhere in Texas. Barry is in charge and has been so for the past 3.5 years. Time to move on.
