“WHO KNEW TRUMP WOULD OFFER A TRUCE WITH XI?”: THE MYSTERY OF THE WALL STREET TRUMP TRADES

Traders are talking about big options bets in advance of the president and others making news. Could they be related? “Maybe someone got lucky—or listened in to those private meetings.”

Is Donald Trump’s erratic behavior fueling a business model? Some Wall Street options traders are beginning to suspect so.

They’ve taken note, with increasing alarm, of

people making strange bets tied to Trump’s actions and then cashing in bigly when the odd bets pay off.

someone, or a group of people, bought 420,000 so-called “e-minis”—electronically traded futures contracts tied to a wide range of stock indexes—in the last 30 minutes of trading in Chicago on Friday afternoon.

Whoever bought the 420,000 e-mini options contracts was sitting on about a $1.8 billion profit. “Someone got very, very lucky,”

someone bought 1.5 million shares of Symantec Corp., the cybersecurity firm, in the final minutes of trading at $22.10.

Two hours later, news came that Broadcom Inc. was reportedly considering a $15 billion acquisition of Symantec; the stock hit $27.89, within minutes, according to the trader.

“That’s a quick $9 million profit,”

Does SEC or SDNY [Southern District of New York] look into this? Rigged system? Someone is very, very lucky? Or massive insider trading?”

some bizarre trading around market-moving speeches given recently by Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

“What if someone had a copy of Powell’s speech to the public an hour prior to the news release?”

‘Pedophile Island’ is the name local use for Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean compound

“As much as the locals share the stories, none are willing to go on [camera],” Meyer tweeted.

“Many, at least in the area of his island and office, fear retaliation.

Whether current employee, former or tied to him in some way.

To them, he still holds much power here.”

Trash destroys yet another organization, his crapification of America is unlimited, unpunished

“IT WOULD BE RIDICULOUSLY NAÏVE NOT TO BE CONCERNED”:

TRUMP HAS POLITICIZED THE DOJ.

HOW LONG CAN THE SDNY HOLD OUT?

TRUMP HAS POLITICIZED THE DOJ. HOW LONG CAN THE SDNY HOLD OUT?

The battles over the border and the census show that the West Wing is fully in control of Justice. “The fear is that Trump doesn’t even need to say it out loud anymore.”

The president’s choice of William Barr as attorney general, and Barr’s entirely predictable attempts to undercut the Mueller report, has been the highest-profile, highest-stakes move to weaponize the department for partisan purposes.

two fresh episodes demonstrate Trump’s relentless push to subvert the DOJ, and how far-reaching the damage will be to the rule of law.

First

came Sarah Fabian, the senior attorney in the DOJ’s Office of Immigration Litigation, telling a California appeals court that it is “safe and sanitary” for jailed immigrant children to go without soap or toothbrushes and to sleep on concrete floors under bright lights.

The second,

ongoing case echoes the events that got Yates fired. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled against adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, after documents from a now deceased Republican consultant’s hard drives were exposed.

Career DOJ attorneys were troubled early on when Trump pardoned former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who had been convicted of criminal contempt of court.

“With that pardon Trump said there were no consequences for defying a court order,” Pierce says.

“That’s a significant message.

Now, with a tweet basically overruling the judgment of the DOJ on the citizenship question,

it’s not just a perversion of the department's authority.

It’s about using the civil division for political purposes.”

What does it mean for the Southern District of New York’s investigation into the Trump Organization?”

“The SDNY presents the greatest ongoing legal threat to Trump and his people,”

“The fear is that Trump doesn’t even need to say it out loud anymore,

because Barr is so protective of him,” Rocah says.

“It would be ridiculously naïve not to be concerned.”

Can you think of some reason why so many DOJ lawyers want out of this case?

That's really what's unprecedented here.

Also, the judge may indeed allow them to withdraw. He just wants them to give him good reasons for it.

DJT is gonna wear out the courts -- and the patience of the federal bench -- asking for do overs every time he doesn't get his way.

I'd do the same damn thing...you get 5 Justices to compel me, you got it knocked. Otherwise? No.

We'll see if DJT has the 5 SCOTUS votes. He recently got his shit kicked downstairs because John Roberts found his bs unconvincing.

Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were the only two guests at a party with 28 women flown in for the ‘entertainment’

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/...mp80sOprah.png

new details about the years-long friendship

between President Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The most bizarre revelation was the account of a party, told by Florida businessman George Houraney,

at which Trump and Epstein were the only guests

The report contains no allegations of misconduct at the party, but

it’s a disturbing account given that Epstein has just been indicted on charges of sex trafficking young teenage girls.

U.K. Unable to Find Replacement Ambassador Who Does Not Think Trump Is an Idiot

LONDON —Following the resignation of its Ambassador to the United States, Kim Darroch, the government of the United Kingdom has disclosed that it has been

unable to find a replacement for Darroch who does not also think that Donald J. Trump is a blithering idiot.

At a press conference at 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, revealed that the search for a new ambassador who does not believe that Trump is an imbecile has thus far come up empty.

“We did not want a repeat of the unfortunate Kim Darroch incident, so we made the first question on the job application,

‘Do you think Donald Trump is a moron?’ ” May said. “

So far, none of the applicants has checked the ‘no’ box.”

May acknowledged that the government might have to expand its search for applicants beyond those with diplomatic experience in order to find a replacement for Darroch who does not consider Trump a dolt.

“We will search high and low until we find someone in this country who doesn’t think Donald Trump is a nitwit,” she said.

“We’re starting by interviewing people who don’t think Boris Johnson is a nitwit.” :lol

While affirming her government’s determination to find someone in the U.K. who does not think Trump is an unmitigated bonehead,

May warned that the difficulty of the task must not be underestimated.

“This is turning out to be harder than Brexit,” she said.

Trump’s July Fourth event and weekend protests bankrupted D.C. security fund, mayor says

In a letter to the president Tuesday, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) warned that the fund has now been depleted and is estimated

to be running a $6 million deficit by Sept. 30.

The mayor also noted that the account was never reimbursed for $7.3 million in expenses from Trump’s 2017 inauguration.

‘Pee is close to his heart’:

Acosta gives a cryptic response when asked if Jeffrey Epstein is an intelligence asset

Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta on Wednesday refused to confirm or deny that financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset.

“So there has been reporting to that effect and let me say, there’s been reporting to a lot of effects in this case, not just now but over the years and, again, I would hesitant to take this reporting as fact,”

According to investigative reporter Vicky Ward,

Acosta told members of Trump’s transition team that

he was instructed to “back off” of Epstein a decade ago because Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”
