Equal protections under the law.

That's not really relevant here even if I agree with your sentiment in principle.
Break the law? Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Some other jackass got off? That sucks. Doesn't mean we should let other people get away with it.
Yes it is. If federal Politicians can do this and they do all the time, why not everyone else. I agree that insider trading is wrong but its not right that one class of citizen get special treatment over another. Either its good for all or not.
Just another politician then.

"Equal protection" =/= "everyone should get away with it."
If one person is allowed to do something you cant hold anyone to a separate standard. One you start locking up federal elected officials then I will say he belongs in jail.

He *is* a federal elected official who was going to jail so...
Thought he was a state rep not Congressman. My bad, then he should be serving his term.
