And others have had 20% annualised returns which are ... questionable.

I hit 20% this year, that much can totally be explained by random chance.

Any particular person getting a 20% return is not suspicious. The question is whether the distribution of returns over all senators is suspicious.

Any person getting a 20% in some small number of trades is fine. An individual getting 20% over a long period and a wide range of trades is definitely suspicious.

When you have enough people trading over some period of time, someone will have consistently high returns.
