What does that have to do with the Trump admin?

Nothing; so it raises the question, when the BBC news reports "insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency", are they deliberately ignoring insider trading suspicions looming over a bunch of other high-ranking US politicians?

Despite the apathy of Americans, I continue to have hope that there will be consequences for all recent and past actions. It's unfortunate that recent events are only the tip of the iceberg, too many to even remember.

What were the consequences after 2008 financial crisis?

What were the crimes you believe were committed in 2008 and who do you think committed those crimes?

Why bother reporting this - it's obviously happening and it's obvious that nothing is going to happen about it.

Nothing will happen until the mid terms or 2028. This administration highlights why the pardon provisions of the constitution need amendment.

Nothing

Stock market at all time highs

Miami houses selling north of $150,000,000.00

No one cares about that crisis anymore

The markets keep ripping no matter what

Just some hiccups along the way

Political insider trading example par excellence.

Pelosi got a free Presidential jet and scooped the inside trades on Iran?

Trump set a stratosphereic high bar for examples par excellence, I doubt all of Pelosi's husband trades add up to a signifigant fraction of Trump's crypto gains alone.

My hot take is that the presidential pardon will be eliminated in our lifetime.

I suspect in the aftermath of this administration, the power of the President as a whole is going to be massively stripped back.

I thought that would happen after the first Trump term. It did not.

The second one has made an even stronger case for doing so though.
