Do You Think That Trump Has Ever Engaged In Insider Trading?.....

Listening to the FBI detail the charges against Collins - one comment was that 'no one is above the law'. When I heard that I got this weird feeling that they might have similar information on Trump that he has been involved in insider trading and that this charge of Collins is a 'shot across the bow of Trump'.

Again - this is just a feeling I got listening to the FBI detail the charges against Collins.

Knowing what we know about Trump - it's not hard to believe that he wouldn't take advantage of insider trading along with all the other crap he's been involved in.

Just saying.

and dodgy deals with the Russians, of course. Whatever he does, though, is likely to be dirty.

Any person who has bankrupted multiple of his own casinos is not likely to have made too many correct calls ever. I think if it weren't for money laundering and cheating, he would be selling VHS tapes out of the trunk of his 1973 Lebaron.

Trump's admin policies because they were forewarned. Icahn got caught.
