| second: Andrew Weissman, Mueller’s lead prosecutor and a former FBI general counsel, blames Mueller and his deputy, Aaron Zebley, for an overly cautious, even fearful, approach to anything involving Trump’s money. In his 2020 book Where the Law Ends, Weissman wrote, “Our office was put on notice, early on, that engaging in… a broad-based financial investigation might lead to our firing.” [go to link] |
| second: Treason in the Futures Markets.
People close to Trump are trading based on national secrets.
When officers of a company or people close to them exploit confidential information for personal financial gain, that’s insider trading — which is illegal. But we have another word for situations in which people with access to confidential information regarding national security — such as plans to bomb or not to bomb another country — exploit that information for profit. That word is “treason.” It’s a fundamental principle that officials are not allowed to exploit their positions for personal gain.

| second: Trump said in January, weeks before the Iran War began, that he thought the U.S. military’s budget for 2027 should increase from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion. That would amount to nearly double U.S. spending on national defense from the $874 billion spent in the last year of former President Joe Biden’s term. [go to link] |
| second: After meeting with major defense contractors at the White House this month, Trump said the companies had agreed to “quadruple” production of “exquisite” weapons, a term of art referring to sophisticated and expensive systems that can repel ballistic missile attacks, such as Patriot missile batteries and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors. Each THAAD interceptor missile costs roughly $12.7 million, and each Patriot PAC-3 interceptor costs about $3.7 million. That’s millions of dollars going up in smoke each time they’re fired. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requested $200 billion in additional funds. [go to link] |

Finally, a President who recognizes that the real threat isn't Iranian nukes, it's people who want healthcare. How can something be both a huge threat and incredibly incompetent? |
6ixStringJack: OH NO!!!! PANIC!!!!!  |
| second: Trump contemplates bombing schools full of children. Surely that will open the Strait of Hormuz. How could the Iranian government allow children to die by tens of thousands when surrendering to Trump is so very easy? Give Trump what he wants and save the children! |
| second: “He’s lost control of the war and he is panicking.” Trump is cycling through an increasingly desperate list of options as he searches for a solution to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. He is now escalating to a direct threat against civilians, which is a war crime. Trump insists he was always prepared for Iran to block the strait, yet his erratic strategy has fueled criticism that he is grasping for answers. [go to link] |
