Same as the reasoning why Nancy Pelosi and all the rest of them get to steal from people via insider trading manipulations, legislating against companies and industries they can also invest in.
The claim that was made that if they were not allowed to steal, then the baseline salary for congresspeople wouldn't be enough to keep and retain 'the very best'. Because clearly thats what maxine waters is.
Since they 'disclose' their trades in printed form, stored in the locked basement of a building that nobody can access.. its all legit! It counts as full disclosure!
Maybe rapists, murders, thieves of other stripe, and every other criminal justifies their actions in the same way.
