 You need to do more research. It's been outlawed back in 2012. It's now illegal for everyone to do insider trading. However, it was going to force all lower level public officials to post trades online, but that part was rolled back. High ranking people are still required to post all trades online.

### REPLY:
They still can and do. They just need prior approval from the ethics committee which they usually get.
