Schiff calling for insider trading investigations

[berg80]

Whether it's a happy byproduct, or a Machiavellian master stroke, by way of the tariff pause, Trump has the opposition calling for insider trading investigations. Go DOGE!

Schiff is asking a valid question. Especially given trump's purge of watchdogs like the IG's. trump lackey Paul Atkins runs the SEC now. If you think he would launch an investigation on his own you're nuts.

Enjoy the Kool Aide. The people at Jonestown figure it out, a little too late.
I don't know if Schiff is correct or not. But, it was either a bad, stupid gamble with the US economy, forcing him to blink and retreat from his own stupidity or a stupid dangerous plan, the financial markets and our allies will not forget, proving trump administration and the United States untrustworthy. Trust is hard earned over time, but easily destroyed very quickly.

Yes, you would know--------->Biden is sharp as a tack, and the Southern border was closed. YOU LOSE, try again gaslighter.

 

[TNHarley]

Lol does this guy do anything that isnt partisan theater?

 

[SeaMajor7]

Have they? Says who? trump? Fk him. The financial world and the world, along with many trump voters know he cannot be trusted, now. People that lost in his bankruptcies, while a private businessman already knew.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You are not talking of me, just some generic picture in your mind, put there by the MAGA crowd, gaslighter.

 

[task0778]

What do you bet that every person he investigates is a republican--probably senators.

He'll say he investigated democrats and found nothing wrong.

I think Schiff is angling to become the 2028 DNP presidential nominee.

Funny, looks like I am addressing you! But that is ok, I have watched you stick your head in the sand on several occasions. Carry on, lol!

He will probably find it.

On himself for sure.

He should start with Nancy Pelosi.

Well you've already discounted his lies, his insurrection, and his criminal convictions, so going along with a little stock market manipulation must seem like puppy shit to the amoral and utter corrupt Trump voters.

Even if no insider trading occurred the potential for hidden, anonymous, corrupt bribes by way of trump's involvement in crypto is always there.

 

[Dragonlady]

um ... over 70 countries have expressed that they want to make a deal .. hence the 90 day pause ..

Well, it turns out that substantially fewer than 70 countries who called the White House, actually want to make a deal.

What you fail to realize is that NOBODY is going to make a deal with Trump, and NOBODY is going to spend millions of dollars building factories in the USA, when you have a lying criminal in the White House.

YOU BLEW IT WHEN YOU ELECTED A CONVICTED FELON, WHO NEVER SIGNED A DEAL AND LIVED UP TO IT. THE REST OF THE WORLD - RUSSIA EXCEPTED, DOESN'T DO BUSINESS WITH LYING CRIMINALS.

 

[scruffy]

Start with yourself and the rest of you liars. Grow up Schiff

One word: Pelosi

He just held a "pay for play" $1 million dollar a plate dinner at Mar-a-Lago, all while billing the American people $3.5 million for every one of his golf trips. Rooms, meals, and golf carts for his SS detail, all at "rack rate", not a deeply discounted corporate rate.

Wash, rinse and repeat for White House staffers, and international guests of the President. The costs of using Air Force One in transporting everyone to his golf club. This is theft from the public purse in broad daylight.

lol. He should stop pretending. Only fools don’t realize that a lot of Congress members benefit from the stock market. This is a reason why I don't trust politicians!

Members of the U.S. Congress from both parties do own shares in the U.S. stock market. According to recent data, only about 5% of senators and representatives do not own any stock or popular funds[1][3]. **The majority of members of Congress own individual stocks, which can pose conflicts of interest due to their influential positions and access to non-public information[1][2]. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act requires disclosure of stock transactions but does not prohibit owning or trading stocks[4]. Efforts to ban individual stock ownership by lawmakers have been proposed but have not yet been enacted[3][6].

One word: Pelosi

Pelosi hasn't done anything illegal. Buying stock in a company which has been announced as doing business with the federal government, isn't illegal. Nor is it insider trading. Pelosi's husband also filed all of the requisite disclosure statements in regard to the purchase.

That's a big difference between what Trump is doing - selling merchandise, shares in his media company, bitcoins, and Bibles. Million dollar a plate dinners. The corruption and bribery is right out in the open. Trump isn't subtle about it either. He tells you it's legal (it's not), and you believe him.

I got a mailing from the good-for-nothing bum's pac yesterday looking for money to fund the effort to reclaim the senate. What a bunch of BS. I wrote MAGA on the contents and returned it in the postage-paid envelope.

He stands zero chance of ever being president.

 

[BluesLegend]

Schiff, the most historic LIAR in the history of the United States, calling for an investigation...

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

He will probably find it.

Yep, something very weird going on and at the very least it needs to be looked at.
