Remember poor Martha Stewart's time in prison for insider trading? This alone should put trumpedo and that space x guy in the clink. Sadly SCOTUS would probably save their asses.

The pattern is simple and it is everywhere now: donate to Trump or do business with his family, and the rules stop applying to you. Skip the donation, and the rules suddenly apply with a vengeance. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Insiders can tell us, but it's likely Trump's DOJ is, at this point, only filled with appeasers. The ethical folks were either pushed out or couldn't stomach the agency being weaponized against anyone Trump perceives as an enemy, or to protect his pedo a$$ 😡
