Insider information tempting Congress

Steve Kroft did a nice piece on “60 Minutes Overtime” about insider trading on Capitol Hill. Al Lewis, a columnist for Dow Jones Wire, wrote a similar article about the topic, published Nov. 20 in The Wall Street Journal Sunday section of the Daily Herald. It does not seem right that congressional leaders can take inside information about companies and legislation to make a sizable amount of profit for their own personal wealth.
