Slaughter says Frist and Delay had day-traders working
Slaughter says Bill Frist and Tom Delay had day-traders working out of their offices.
Click link and listen to Rep Slaughter tell you this herself as she was talking on Air America. I didnt see this so I hope this isnt a repeat.

2. It's pretty illegal to trade stock from your congressional office.
I sure hope Louise has some hard evidence. It would be a shame to see her get Roved.

3. Day-traders buy and sell stocks over short time periods
usually based on tips. If true, this would be very interesting. Not only is it illegal to use government staff to work the stock market on government time in government offices, it would suggest the use of insider info.

A little insider-trading scandal would bu fun about now.
