re: Ro Khanna's Net Worth Increased 205 Million Dollars In 8 Years

Here is the entire 90min clip: The problem with the Jubilee interviews is Glenn Greenwald opens with an unproven premise.
He argues, for example, that Jared Kushner's investments in the Middle East were/are "corrupt," rather than well-advised, investments. The problem with that presumption for Kushner, or for Trump, is that the deals he is citing fall well within the wheelhouse of business operations those individuals have been involved in for years.
That is juxtaposed against the precept of Hunter Biden finding his way on to the board of Burisma, an arena in which he had no experience whatsoever. To bring that juxtaposition home, Kushner was involved in Middle East transactions which Greenwald is calling to question long before Trump's second term. The accusation of influence corruption assumes Trump's reelection in 2024 was predetermined, which of course was not an assumable proposition at all.
Hunter Biden on the other hand did nothing of the sort when his father was out of office. All of his infamous transactions occurred during the time Joe Biden was vice president, or president of the United States. Neither Kushner nor Trump were inexperienced artists blowing paint through a straw at a canvas, and then selling the "art" at Van Gogh prices.
I like Glenn Greenwald, but his arguments here are the ultimate tu quoque.

Crazy to think the most staunch conservative Massie doesn’t care about this stuff but works hand and foot with him and good friends together.
Not really crazy if you would bother to look up what Massie's view is on congress and investing. He's one of the few house members that has not supported restrictions/limitations. He thinks it's the right of every American to invest/make money. Agree or disagree with that, but it shouldn't be a surprise that he hasn't come down on Khanna's investing.

quote:Your premise assumes Trump was always destined for reelection in 2024. That's where it falls flat on its face.
There are still people who believe Trump is making a financial sacrifice to be president.
Had Trump not won reelection, the lawsuits and DOJ persecution would have continued. Given the predisposition of a demonstrably corrupt judiciary, it is not unlikely the man would have spent the rest of his life in prison, with a financial result akin to what happened to Ruby Giuliani.
That would have been one hell of a sacrifice.

38,666 trades in a year and a half?
How did he ever have time to do his actual job?
That's 46 trades a day based on a 7-day week. It's well over 50 if you only go with his 5-day work week.
It's beyond outrageous!

We need some realism in this thread. Theres a ton of middle ground between obvious insider trading and only wanting people who are either already poor or willing to sacrafice their assets fairly earned beforehand.
Again for the 10th time, this comes up in the private sector alot. We have tried and true methods. As with most things, government simply needs to look at the private sector and copy what works. The wheel does not, in fact, need to be reinvented.
I'm not understanding the pushback you are getting on this. They may have existed when our country was founded, but there is just no giant pool of intelligent, well educated men willing to put country above all else, even if it drives them to poverty type men from which to pull our leaders.
You have to be able to draw from the best and brightest. These guys are likely already rich or on their way to becoming so. Place strict, publicly auditable controls on them to minimize the shady shite.
Otherwise, you only draw people seeking power and wealth, with low scrupples as to how to obtain them.

More than likely he has money managers making the trades, and he is just telling them what legislation is going to pass, etc.

File his trading activity.
Trump’s portfolio is handled by third parties that have “sole and exclusive” authority to make investment decisions.
