After James Comey’s Senate hearing Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that the stock market’s rise amid the proceedings cleared the president’s name.

“When the Dow hits another all-time record right during the testimony, you know that he’s been exonerated,” President Donald Trump’s eldest child said. “The markets basically said this has been nonsense.”

The market did indeed peak toward the end of the testimony, CNN reported, but Wall Street’s reaction doesn’t exactly constitute a judge and jury.

1. Key takeaway

His idea of vindication is making money and making rich people richer.

2. Would this be the same Dow that predicted a quick Iraq war?

Dow goes high, Dow goes low... We shouldn't care.

The stock market is no oracle!

3. Vindication isn't the word I'd choose when the FBI,S enate and House are

concurrently running active investigations. Additionally, there is also the ongoing investigations of both the domestic and international press corps, government agencies in several foreign countries, innumerable US NGOs in the public interest sector, and hundreds (if not thousands) of dedicated citizen sleuths putting in a lot of their own time and effort to report on critical events of the hour.

4. So profits mean innocence?

Or maybe Trumps are taught that if money is made, then nothing you do to get money is wrong?

By extension, if Trump is president and the market goes up, then that means Trump didn't commit any crimes?

Damn.
