Absolute power corrupts: Democrats Request FBI Investigation Into Trump Insider Trading

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Donald Trump may be brazen enough to directly profit from his manipulation of the markets.

However, it is likely he is profiting from proxies or associates.

It certainly appears that there is market manipulation happening by people with foreknowledge of Trump's actions.

Could this be the issue that nails and jails Donald Trump?

Democrats Request FBI Investigation Into Trump Insider Trading

Reps. Ted W. Lieu (D-CA) and Kathleen Rice (D-NY) sent letters to the FBI and SEC demanding an investigation into Trump market manipulation and insider trading.

The Democrats who are former prosecutors wrote:
We write to urge you to investigate potentially unlawful behavior related to the trading of electronically traded futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the last several months.
On October 16, Vanity Fair reported on numerous instances in which individuals or groups of individuals made millions, and in some cases billions, of dollars in profits by trading large numbers of Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P) e-mini futures contracts immediately prior to major geopolitical events. In each of these instances, the e-mini contracts were traded within days, and often within hours, of the S&P rising or falling sharply. The trades preceded such events as the Saudi Aramco attack as well as announcements related to progress in talks between the United States and China over the trade war and the withdrawal of the extradition bill in Hong Kong. In one case occurring in August, the trader or traders made $1.5 billion when the S&P rose after President Trump lied about phone calls taking place between United States and Chinese officials.
While the aforementioned trades may be purely coincidental, their timing and scale raise serious suspicions about whether the traders received material nonpublic information that would affect the S&P and how they received such information. We urge you to swiftly investigate whether trading on insider information or any other fraudulent behavior occurred in relation to these trades.

Vanity Fair detailed a series of strange trades that have resulted in billions of dollars in profits for whoever bought suspicious futures before Donald Trump made key announcements. The situation looks even more dubious when one considers Trump’s habit of babbling on his cell phone to his friends day and night about what he is doing as president.

Trump himself has tried to manipulate the stock market, and it is predictable that the same president who would award his own golf club the G7 would be engaging in insider trading from the White House. Trump never separated himself from his business which has created a ripe environment for corruption.
Trump’s corruption is likely to include insider trading.

The Democrats have stopped being just totally corrupt, now they are evil.
They are assaulting our democracy that people died for.

Insider trading ? I thought Pelosi said it was a perk that politicians were guaranteed a few years back when she was caught red handed.

Throw Them All Out by Peter Schweizer

1. Schweizer points out that if you're an elected official and you sit on an important committee, you are allowed to trade on the information that comes to you or even results from your committee-related decisions. It stands to reason that if you're on the banking committee, you probably trade bank stocks, playing it both long and short. If you're a staffer, you may accumulate sensitive information and sell it to hedge funds. A lot of careerists trade on non-public information.
2. Nancy Pelosi, the 60th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives with an estimated net worth of $58 million, bought 5,000 shares of V (Visa) at the privileged IPO price $44. This trade showed a profit immediately and the shares went up to about $88 in a matter of days. However, Pelosi worked on major legislation that if it had not been killed in the body she led, would have had a strong negative affect on the price right at that time. The rest of us can't do it because we're subject to strict conflict of interest rules, unlike lawmakers. Plus, we're not invited to participate in IPOs until after the price is run up.

It's difficult to pin something on a slimebag like Donald Trump. Pins don't work on slime.

Yeah, well the people trying to pin something on slime, are slime themselves. Hard to pins something to anyone, when the hand you are using to do it, is nothing but putrid ooze.

In fact, this is one of the reasons I'm so pissed at Democraps. The sad part in all this is, we need a credible opposition party. Nothing is more dangerous than having a single party that is credible, because then they can get away with stuff. I want the Democraps to be a credible opposition, so that if Trump actually did anything wrong, we would have someone credible to oppose it.

But you guys are not credible at all. You have made up, lied up, drummed up, hoaxed up, so much crap non-stop for the last 4 years..... Yeah no one believes a word you people speak, because you haven't spoke a word in years now that hasn't been a lie.

You have made yourselves into your own monster, and now you are crying because no one listens to you? That's your fault. You mindless morons destroyed yourselves, and now act shocked no one listens to the toddler screaming wolf after 4 years of it. How dumb can you people possibly get?

Donald Trump loves you.

Donald Trump loves everybody. It's a Christian thing.

Grabbing pussies and banging porn stars is evangelical?

Are you and your Trump-loving ilk waiting for Donald Trump's second 'coming'?

^^^
TDS.

Now Rump is going to have to fire/indict/quit another cabinet member to make room for the new one you just created.

Sooooo sad.


To prevent you Democrats from injuring yourselves, the best course of action is to volunteer for a four year medically induced coma.


Come back after Trump leaves office.

If that were the case, they would have to reregister as Rumpsters during that time period.

So....you're disputing that Trump voters weren't successful.


Bet there are days like this where it just doesn't pay to chew through your restraints, huh?

Sure..... great another in the endless attempts to find something anywhere, that you can pin on Trump.

Admitting the witch Hunt eh ??

One of Trump's coven, Rudy the red has been caught riding broomsticks.

Fighting fire with fire was he ??

Only 1852? That must be due to time constraints.

Last I checked - Men and women engaging in sex, and talking sex with each other is a good thing.

Great! Have a baby with your wife. When the baby is 4 months old, go rawdog a prostitute. Tell your wife. See if she thinks it is a good thing.

Sounds like you aren't a modern day leftist who believes in the very thing you just spoke of, and this type of thing being big in the California Hollywood scene's, the leftist liberal scene's throughout the nation etc, and ever since the hippie revolution and/or beyond. Of course if Trump does it it's wrong in the eyes of the very ones living it. But of course it's all political right ?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Sounds like you aren't a modern day leftist who believes in the very thing you just spoke of

And it sounds like you are. Do you do the rubber suits and horse whips? Do you give your prostitutes Plan B pills, after you rawdog them?

So now you are going to resort to childish petulant attacks because you can't remain respectful in the debate ? How leftist of you. Just look at where you went, and how you just resort to trash talk when you can't remain respectful within the debate.

Change that he to they if you want to be correct, but of course Trump is singled out right ? If Washington was investigated on whole, we wouldn't ever get anything done again. Might be heading in that direction now or have we finally arrived ?

Actually, you did that first. I've noticed that you crybabies dont like being talked to the way you talk to and about others.

Your comments on Trump and sex were absurd. I tried to demonstrate this to you. And you went into "whining about libtards" mode.
