Colorado Democratic Senator Michael Bennet campaigned against, and has taken a strong stand against, elected officials using their inside knowledge of upcoming legislation to buy and sell stocks.
Yet in a recent “oops” moment, Bennet expressed hope about a bill’s prospects, but added that he wasn’t so sure of its passage that he was buying or selling stocks accordingly.
To many observers this sounded a lot like an admission of guilt, despite the Senator’s later denials.
