Thank Obama for passing the law that makes it legal for legislators to do that. . .

Wikipedia:
In 2004, Martha Stewart was convicted of felony charges related to the ImClone stock trading case; she served five months in federal prison for fraud and was released in March 2005.

I thought it was more about perjury than the insider trading.

Wikipedia continues:
After a highly publicized six-week jury trial, Stewart was found guilty in March 2004 of felony charges of conspiracy to obstruct, of obstruction of an agency proceeding, and of making false statements to federal investigators and was sentenced in July 2004 to serve a five-month term in a federal correctional facility and a two-year period of supervised release (including five months of electronic monitoring).

Lessons of Martha Stewart Case
July 16, 2004
https://www.cato.org/commentary/lessons-martha-stewart-case#

Whatever one thinks of the doyenne of domesticity, her case holds important lessons. Not about the arrogance of the rich or the dangers of being a powerful woman in America. Instead, the Stewart case is a cautionary tale about the ever‐​expanding power of federal prosecutors.

James Comey, the federal prosecutor behind the Stewart case, says he went after Stewart “not because of who she is but because of what she did.” But that’s hard to believe given the audacious legal theory Comey used to pursue her...

Not to mention all the healthcare benefits they get FOR LIFE while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet

Are you upset by this? Perhaps you would benefit from some "music therapy" ?

This is such a con. You can bet there will be no investigation of criminal nonprofit enterprises like Catholic Charities. When I ran a crime victim's crisis line in California I preached about this abuse and even contacted the federal government with info regarding specific irregularities to no avail. My voice was drowned out by liberals and conservatives alike who wanted their tax write-off untouched and their supply of cheap labor uninterrupted. Now they want it dealt with because it's come back to haunt them.

Benefits for illegals? I was talking about the people in Con-gress

OK, them, too! Plenty of taxpayer money for everybody!

Don’t know why you’re singling out Democrats for this, but I think every Congressperson needs a fierce pay cut. If we’re gonna eat the rich, start with them

OK, the rest of them, too!
