While Nancy Pelosi been getting in front of every camera she can and shouting gibberish about Donald Trump’s taxes, she has a lot to answer for: like how she accrued a net worth of at least $202 million as a career politician.
Liberals would never shut up about how wealthy Mitt Romney was when he ran for president (and had an estimated net worth of around $250 million), but at least he made his money restructuring failed businesses. And we all know how insane they have been about Donald Trump.
Pelosi began her political career in the House of Representatives in 1987, meaning she’s racked up that net worth in a mere 30 years in public service. Accrued at an equal rate, that would imply a net flow of money coming in (net of expenses) of 6.73 million annually.
As Pelosi continues to be among those calling for Trump to release his tax returns, (which will be an epic fail for Democrats if they’re anything like the 2005 return Rachel Maddow leaked) but she has been accused of ‘insider trading’ before.
Until Peter Schweizer’s 2011 book “Throw Them All Out” brought this fact to the American public’s attention, most didn’t know that it was legal for members of congress to ‘insider trade’ based on privileged information only they are aware of.
Even 60 Minutes reported on it, exposing how Pelosi exploited the process:

Biden would do it too, but he is not smart enough for stock trading. He just fuels his entire family with money through his government connections. None of these people could make it at low level jobs in the private sector. Our corrupt disgusting congress people break the law all of the time with their insider information. They sent Martha Stewart to jail for far less. Everyone knows of all of the bad creatures in the deep state sewer swamp of DC the Justice Dept is one of the worst. John Durham will expose their crimes soon.
“Restructuring Failed Businesses” What a quaint way of describing raping and dismembering companies, offshoring their jobs, and putting Americans out of work. It’s called ‘Vulture Capitalism’, and it’s immoral in the extreme. Pelosi may have cheated, but this article wears its absurd bias on its sleeve. P.S.: They’re all corrupt, Donald J. Trump most of all: he’s in bed with half of the Russian mob, enriches himself on the largess of the US government (i.e. you and I), and foreign countries and nationals. For God’s sake: HE SAID HE HAD NO BUSINESS IN RUSSIA DURING THE CAMPAIGN, *WHILE* TRYING TO LAND A MASSIVE DEAL TO BUILD A TRUMP TOWER THERE! Wake up: we have the king of all con men as our president and what he’s done, and is doing, dwarfs small-time chiselers like Pelosi and Moscow Mitch McConnell.
What a bunch of humps.
Term limits H turn it Stateside!!
So does Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter, now so what?
Pelosi doesn’t have enough money to pay the security bill for Trump’s NYC home. $3 million a weekend.
The taxpayers get that bill.
I wish we citizens would vote our representatives out every 2/4 years. Serve one term, leave U.S. office. Coming home for town hall meetings is not enough for our representatives to see/feel the sense of their community's needs/wants. Reading biased newspaper accounts/watching local news reports from the community would be biased also. I hate what has become of our country's representatives.
OK now do you know why I am all for TERM LIMITS? Nancy Pelosi is one reason and I have a lot more reasons then just money!! Just think she has been in since 1987 and if I had my way she would have been out by at least 1997!!!!!!
The communist democrat mantra “because no one is above the law”, when these liars say that I wanna punch my TV, BECAUSE THEY BREAK IT EVERYDAY…
Also know that while the legislature passed a rule making it illegal for legislators to do the insider trading, it lasted for only a few months before the democrat controlled house and senate quietly did away with the new rule. The Democrats have always been the most dishonest politicians.
Her being a prayer warrior knows she isn’t taking anything with her except those treasures she laid up in heaven, could this be the reason she fights so hard for baby murder called Abortion, that is one treasure that’s full.
Nan’s place in NAPA VALLEY:
11 Zinfandel Lane
St. Helena, CA
Gorgeous estate, includes a residence, vineyard and two hilltop bungalows (for DC Police or SS) on the banks of the Napa River. Easy to find drop on by and enjoy the grounds or river – Her property was bought and developed with tax payer (our) monies or riches from insider trading.
Old news! I’ve known it for some time. I even know that a democratic House of Rep. gave her a pass with a puny ethics violation and no real punishment.
This insider trading was banned for a short while. Then the ban was repealed when Obama came in.
I would be surprised that Paul’s finances would be separate from Nancy’s. There may be good reasons for that (avoiding disclosure; walling off Paul’s interests from her public acts as a Representative, Majority Leader, Speaker, Committee Chairman, Minority Leader, Ranking member, etc.; estate planning issues; filing separate tax returns). But I had always assumed that Paul built that fortune, not her. And btw, she can engage in insider trading, but he can’t. Illegal for him, legal for her. But there clearly is a gigantic conflict of interest. Unfortunately, she’s not the only one. And she and Paul were rich even before her first run for Congress, based on Paul’s work as a real estate developer and investor.
True, everyone that really listens and looks at her knows she acts like that bubbly High School giggly dumb bimbo, how she gets to be speaker is way beyond me.
Isn’t this nitwit from Calif?? That should explain it!
I’ve often pondered how she even gets reelected for so many years? I guess one would only have to look at her district to figure it out. The land of fruits & nuts……..she blends in well. Most would be ashamed to have a goof ball like her representing them. Go figure?
One more facelift and she’ll have a goatee!
I think she’s going senile/ dementia/ alzheimers. We’ve endured the senility and dementia. She’ll probably get reelected next time around.
Sounding senile isn’t she! Too much botox and liquor in the brain will do it!

Money from foreign countries and Socialistic idiots like Bloomberg and all the others Socialistic Asses that wants America destroyed and ran by Illegals and Radical Muslims.
Where are their records of finances?
Why they are not made open to the public?
What is it that they are hiding from us “we the people” like Barack Hussein Obama?
All of the Socialists Democrats needs to open up their complete records of finances now. To see which ones are traitors to America by receiving foreign money.
Served?? You mean stolen from us for years!!
Right on and that is because they are all looking for hand outs!!!!!
What are talkin’ ’bout? The people in her district will vote for anyone calling themselves a democrat.
This is not surprising news. All these politicians that have served for years and years made so much money screwing us all over. It is time for the people to throw them out!
Term limits H turn it Stateside!!
