Rep. Donna Shalala, who was appointed to the oversight panel for the corporate bailout portion of the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill Congress passed last month, told the Miami Herald she violated federal law for failing to disclose stock sales while serving in Congress.
“As a new member with a broker and attorney who were not familiar with the congressional disclosure rules, there was a misunderstanding.”
-- Shalala
Transactions that aren’t reported within 45 days are subject to a $200 fine, though it’s unclear if Shalala will face legal repercussions for the 'error'.
Yet another Democrat attempting to claim 'Ignorance of the Law' is an acceptable legal defense when THEY break laws....
Color me 'shocked'.
