The Ossoff ethics bill, which the Democratic freshman Senator plans to introduce once he finds a Republican co-sponsor, would crack down on conflicts of interest by making it illegal for lawmakers and their families to trade stocks while in office, a Washington, D.C. source close to the situation said.
I've done everyone the favor of highlighting exactly why this Demshevik bill is pure virtue signal fluff and has absolutely zero chance of passing. Too broad & too much overreach.
Good salvo, though. Close to home. Most of them use trusts with their close relatives as Beneficiaries to funnel their kickbacks.
