I don't know exactly what charges they used to convict her, but Martha Stewart was basically busted for insider trading. She had sold a lot the stock in her company based on insider knowledge.

I don't know if it was worth a jail term or not, but when you get somebody I think you have to prosecute. I suspect the jail was a result of her lying to the feds about it.

Did Comey mention the Boston Bombers in his CV? Or catching Clapper lying to Congress about his treasonous spying on Americans contrary to the constitution? Etc?

Very strange to boast about Martha Stewart being manipulated into a process crime.

Prosecutors added charges of stock manipulation when Stewart took out a full page ad in a nationwide newspaper to explain her side of the story.

There needs to be a mechanism in place to keep over zealous prosecutors in check.
