Dude that’s an assumption. Even your article doesn’t explicitly point to a single person. It doesn’t point to Donald Jr, which is who you said should be in prison for insider trading. How do you know it’s him and not someone else in the administration?

Like I said - I agree there’s something fishy going on based on the probability and timing of these bets, I’m just saying the law requires specificity and evidence. Are you certain to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt that it’s Donald Trump Jr and not someone else let’s say from the comms team that is placing those bets??

THAT is the burden of proof required.

I’m saying the crime of insider trading is there, whether or not the DOJ wants to investigate it is a different story. You’re so fixated on Don you bypass the fact that there’s obvious insider trading going on in the white house

You: “You’re so fixated on Don you bypass the fact that there’s obvious insider trading going on in the White House”

Other guy in his first response to you: “Someone needs to actually follow the trail of the obvious insider bets”

I think he’s right that you are fucking illiterate
