Are at least 3 GOP Senators guilty of conspiracy to commit stock fraud (the real term for insider trading)?

Yes.

Will any be charged?

Not a chance. Mad? Good. Get it right.

There are 2 very important reasons for this.

1. SROs,
2. Administrative federal agency regulators.
Suppose you know of an insider trading scheme & would like to make a referral. The advice you’d get it report that to the SEC. The SEC would then refer you to FINRA. What’s that? FINRA is a self regulatory organization (a.k.a. SRO). FINRA isn’t a gov’t agency, it’s a private org.
For decades Congress has permitted SEC & CFTC to delegate certain functions to SROs cognizant to them (FINRA & NFA respectively).

Until the 2000s this meant that SROs handled admin items like member registry, member admin filings standards. Kinda like the DMV for fin’l industry.
