I presume it's because she's seen in somewhat of a "senior leadership" position.

Johnny Beluga, the esteemed congressman from butt-munch, Iowa might have five times more illicit gains than her, but no one knows who he is, so fewer people would watch the news to hear about him.

They don't have to report their trades until 30 days later, with a slap on the wrist if they violate this incredibly lax requirement. By the time you follow, it may be too late.

If we aren't going to outlaw them from trading, maybe we should require all disclosures to be same day.

Johnny Beluga

Who? Is this a nickname I don't recognize?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Its nobody. It's a fake person to avoid mentioning anyone in particular.

Like referring to "Johnny Punchclock" or "Joe Everyman"

Your mistake was using Butt-munch IA, which is not only real but it's the county seat of Cornhole Co. Too believable.
