Meanwhile, whatâs up with OMB nominee Mick Mulvaney? He got busted for nanny tax problems that have sunk nominations in the past. Right now itâs looking like he is going to try and brazen his way through it.

Trump: I want in on this deal. I am POTUS and I should get in before anyone else.

I am sure this is fine. He is a conservative Republican, christian, god-fearing, bible-loving. Let us move on since these are just alternative facts.
More importantly, President Trump should tell the Australian press and the Australian media to just Shut Up, just as he told the American media to. Where have our listening skills gone?

Maybe itâs just because itâs Monday, but I hope one of you smart TPMers can help me. I am not seeing the discrepancy between:
That directly contradicts Priceâs testimony in his confirmation hearings that discounted shares of Innate Immunotherapeutics Ltd. âwere available to every single individual that was an investor at the time."
and
Innate Immuno CEO Simon Wilkinson said in an interview with the Journal that those investors who had previously participated in private placement had been invited to âmake friends and family aware of the opportunityâ to buy discounted shares.
Is Price saying any investor in the world was offered this, or that anyone who had invested in Immunotherapeutics was offered it? Is the CEO saying something different than the latter? Very confusing to me.

And thus we see the need for legislation (Constitutional Amendment?) requiring anyone elected to public office, ANY public office, must immediately move all assets to a blind trust.
In addition to eliminating many ethics conflicts, it will be a guaranteed employment act for the âblind trust divisionsâ of all the Wall Street brokerages.The law should also lay out strict, minimal reimbursement schedules for the brokers.
This protects the âvalueâ that individuals may have accumulated when not in office, not punishing them for being elected, but also limiting their profits from being in office.Or so I would hopeâŚ

The difference is the difference between âevery single individualâ and "those investors who had previously participated in private placement "
Private placement v. cold call investors.
âPrivate placementâ is code for inside investors. They invest because of what the corporate officers say, not on advise of a broker at Merrill Lynch

For a man of Bernieâs age, thatâs not a large net worth. As retirement income, it would only yield about $25,000/year if managed conservatively. Itâs probably mainly based on appreciation of real estate.

Thanks for the argot clue. So Price was using âinvestorâ to imply anyone could have gotten the deal, whereas the CEO was saying, no, this was just for our pets.
But even if he was just a cold-call investor, itâs still insider trading if he voted on laws affecting his own holdings.

Donât think it would be âinsider trading,â but it is a definite ethics violation (self-dealing).
