Clearly a non-sequitur, but I'll bite anyways. Paul Pelosi is a VC, and I'm sure that most of the Pelosi net worth is due to his income, not hers. Since the laws preventing members of Congress from trading on information they receive as part of their duties, you can't say that the Pelosi's have violated any securities laws.
And both sides of the aisle benefit from this. Whether it's legalized insider trading or jumping to corporate jobs when out of office, it's a corrupting influence. All members of Congress, SCOTUS and POTUS should have to place their assets into blind trusts. That won't stop this corrosive influence, but it is the bare minimum.
