Paul Pelosi acted on insider info back in 07. I’ve wonder what his position in the market was when Henry Paulson was on his knees begging her to TARP.

That Reuters article you referenced does not say that he traded on insider information. It says that Paul Pelosi may have gotten access to an IPO based on Nancy's position (although that is disputed by Pelosi who says that access was applied for in the standard manner through his broker). That's very different from insider trading.
