Biden didnt stoop to insider trading, he made his fortune the old fashioned way: theft, bribes, and kickbacks.

Congressional stock market trading on insider tips is like gambling compared to a POTUS selling influence.

“...tell us Joe how you got so rich on your salary?...”
He’s a man that’s never held a real job in the private sector...ever.
There’s only one way to get as wealth as FJB on the govt payroll....corruption to the nth degree. He has done absolutely nothing for the good of USA and her People...Nada, Nothing in his entire “career”. But to hear FJB talk about it: “It’s all about building wealth.” Yeah, selling out our country for personal gain!! There ought to be a law...oh, wait, there is!! Oh, wait again....he’s RAT so it don’t apply.
FJB and those that foisted this sorry evil basstid on America.
