Sloppy non reporting. The companies on which PAUL Pelosi put bets look to be hurt by the Judiciary Committee's vote... as your link shows, they are in the crosshairs of "antitrust bills targeting major tech giants". Had Paul shorted those stocks it might have looked shady, assuming that he knew the Committee's vote would increase their risk, but he bet it the other way, bet for their value to rise in spite of the likely outcome of the coming vote. As shown by the Stock Act, congress members do often possess what is essentially insider info, but you have made no case that this happened here.
