Day trading in Congressional (R) offices?!?

Apparently, Frist and Delay had day traders in their offices trading on insider information on pending legislation. :wow:

5. Best Thing About This?
It will turn some Wall Street insiders against the Republicans. The financial community does not like others to get the jump on them. And it's criminal. All they need is the trading records and match them with the votes.

We need a new Rudolph Guiliani to take down the new Ivan Boeskys. Is Spitzer still doing his thing?
