Bill D,

Perhaps you and your friends, the reformers, will investigate Diane Feinstein. Her husband bought two companies who had defence contracts with the US government. This was done with insider information of coming military actions.

As head of military appropriations, she sent these companies 12 billion dollars in business. One company's stock went through the roof due to the huge contracts she (mis)directed. Her hubby sold that company for a cool 1/2 billion profit.
