CNN legal analyst Paul Callan didn’t mince words Wednesday when responding to Rep. Chris Collins’ (R-NY) insider trading indictment.
“It’s the dumbest insider trading crime I’ve ever seen,” he said. “If, I have to say alleged, though, John.”
Laughter could be heard in the background of the segment.

You can commit the dumbest crime possible as long as your buddy has the power of the pardon.
They may say “greed is good” but they don’t say it is smart.
It is dumb because he is a congressman and he thought he could get away with it because he truly believed congressmen aren’t held to the same standards as the rest of us.
The man is ethically challenged, but that just means he is a Republican House member.
They just couldn’t help but laugh
Collins was simply stepping up to the trough, as he was next in line to score. This is a feature, not bug, of modern politicians. They think that they are elite and sophisticated because they politely take turns stealing money.
