Without saying "insider trading," which connotes unlawful trades on nonpublic information, how do you call normal, lawful trades by directors and officers of publicly traded issuers?

The proper term is "legal insider trading." The term is somewhat confusing, because the term "insider trading" does have the connotation of being illegal, but that is the term generally used in the industry and by the government.

It's usually called "insider transactions". "Trading" usually connotes short-term nature of investment; insiders, in contrast, may be required to file a form with SEC as long as 90 days prior to sale.

insider trading is using info to profit when the market doesn't know things like there is a huge loss coming and they get out. trading between each other? there have stock options that they can exercise that is handled on the inside but is not insider trading.

I don't remember there being a special term for 'normal' trading.
There is essentially little technical difference between a director that buys/sells his shares when compares to the public..with the main difference being volume.

people just refer to it as "insider buying" or "insider selling", which sounds slightly different than "insider trading", but the meaning is vastly different.
