and a host of other criminal actions doesn't get him put in jail, may stock manipulation might?
Remember, they couldn't even get the Mafia crime bosses on murder, theft, or extortion but tax evasion did send many to jail. We hold money higher than honesty. Maybe messing with peoples' money will get him in the end. And remember the shit Trump is doing is on the international level.

(4,990 posts)If people dont realize by now that this guy is never going to be held accountable for anything, I dont know what to say.
He can fully admit to manipulating the market for his own benefit and nothing would happen.
Forget about him going to jail, being removed from office, resigning or any of that.
Only him dropping dead will end this scourge.
We need to face that fact.

Of course, he might just expand the insider trading to the whole Republican base, so only Dems lose money on the stock market.
Whether he goes to jail or not, it needs to be challenged in the courts.
Justice in the end will only happen when (if) he's out of power and Dems take over, and we WILL find something SCOTUS hasn't exempted and certainly targeted stock tips aren't part of his official duties.
