Boehner's insider trading on Keystone Pipeline



Republican House Speaker John Boehner would personally benefit more than almost anyone if the Keystone Pipeline deal gets passed. Boehner has invested up to $365,000 of his own money in seven companies that would benefit from a deal getting passed, making many wonder about a conflict of interest.

According to the Washington Post, "The firms include six oil companies - BP, Canadian Natural Resources, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Devon Energy and Exxon - along with Emerson Electric, which has a contract to provide the digital automation for the first phase of a $9.4 billion Horizon Oil Sands Project in Canada."
