Capitol Hill sources close to the story say Pelosi has good reason to fear Schweizer’s investigative reporting. Throw Them All Out, which hits bookshelves nationwide on Tuesday, reportedly contains a powder keg of original investigative information that suggests Pelosi leveraged her insider status to acquire her highly profitable Visa IPO and then used her congressional authority to shield Visa from disadvantageous legislation.
Tonight’s 60 minutes report on Congressional insider trading is based on Peter Schweizer’s book. We can only hope they take an honest look at the work and don’t just cherry-pick the bits that make Republicans look bad. (And I’m sure there are more than a few of those right next to the Democrats.)
So I may actually have to watch this. Then perhaps I’ll begin wondering what our former representative to New Hampshire from Nancy Pelosi, Carol SEIU-Porter, knew and when she new it.
