This feels like whataboutism. That line of argument isn’t new and is often associated with pro-Kremlin narratives—do you have a more substantive point to add?

Or just simply pointing out the usual blind political hypocrisy ...

I mean Pelosi has a higher rate of success as a stock picker than Warren Buffet.

Why are points raised previously invalid?

I could write "pro-Kremlin narratives are associated with the Russiagate hoax" but that would be childish.

It is not. The OP just agreed that both Trump and Pelosi insider trades are unacceptable. Thus it is not "whataboutism".

Both Trump and Pelosi and all of congress doing insider trading all shows the complete corruption in US politics in the open.

It's just that one of them is better at hiding it.
