RW, NOBODY writes like you do. Every article you write make me want to laugh and cry with rage at the same time. As for the Attorney General job, I want someone that is some combination of Einstein, Perry Mason, Sherlock Holmes, George Patton and Ming the Merciless. I want a straight arrow who loves the Constitution and has a visceral hatred of crooks and their enablers. And I want someone who moves with their foot on the gas pedal.
HOW?...WHY? How can America permit the amount of illegality and corruption by our president? Do no senators or Congress people read any of the corruption? Do they not care? Do they worry about how much time it might take the correct some of the loopholes in our legal system? For those of us outside the loop, the corruption is blatantly obvious. I am totally flabbergasted by the fact than even Republicans allow this much nastiness to go on!!
Let's hope when the Dems win in 2028, and the new president does not hire an Attorney General like Merrick Garland. I'd like to see Jamie Raskin or Adam Schiff get the job. Because Trump may be too dumb to know it but there is now way he can spin this as performing the duties of his office.
What’s dangerous about modern America isn’t just the possibility of corruption.
It’s that millions of people now assume insider trading, political self-dealing, regulatory favoritism, and market manipulation are just normal operating procedure for the ruling class.
That loss of trust didn’t come from nowhere.
Wall Street.
Congress.
Lobbyists.
Corporate capture.
“Too big to fail.”
Members of Congress outperforming hedge funds.
At some point the public stopped believing the system was refereed fairly and started believing it was a members-only casino.
We have to include Buckley v. Valeo (1976), First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978), and the infamous Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010).
We all saw it coming from ten million miles away and we couldn’t stop it and now the entire planet is completely fucked and there’s not a goddamn fucking thing anyone can do about it at this point.
If ordinary Americans traded stocks with the timing and informational advantages politicians and insiders seem to enjoy, many of them would be investigated before lunch.
But in modern America, accountability often depends less on the act itself and more on your proximity to power.
That double standard is why institutional trust keeps collapsing.
I want to point something out here. If you are a trader (or work for some trading firm), you cannot even buy/sell something for your partner/children during trading hours, because it would be illegal. It doesn’t matter if you are a trader, a secretary, a janitor, an information manager, etc. It still would be ILLEGAL.

Trump should be in the Big House not the White House.
Corruption On Steroids.
Thank you for the terrific article. Trump is corrupt. I have never even heard a President trading it buying stock.
Let's hope when the Dems win in 2028, and the new president does not hire an Attorney General like Merrick Garland. I'd like to see Jamie Raskin or Adam Schiff get the job. Because Trump may be too dumb to know it but there is now way he can spin this as performing the duties of his office.
I wonder if Jack Smith might be available in January 2029?
Why do good things keep happening to such bad people?!
Remember when Hillary Clinton was vilified for getting lucky in the commodities market decades ago? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Smells like RICO to me.
Not only is it insider trading, but I'd lay hands down that he got a real sweetheart of a deal on the price.
Probably means nothing, nothing.
To paraphrase Leona Helmsley, laws are for little people.

That’s the real crisis underneath all of this.

Everybody should reply with more things because this list could go on for very long.

Vote against any and all Republicans this November. It's the only way to stop this.
It's a good start. Term limits for Supreme court seats, repealing the Electoral College, reversing Citizens United.
