Slightly worse, actually. Usually, a case of insider trading revolves around acting on some sort of confidential information that tells you in advance of something that will affect the value of a stock. What Congress does is create those conditions. That allows them to buy a stock prior to an increase that they set in motion or to set in motion things which will enhance the value of stocks they already own.
