War and insider trading

[John Clark]

POTUS threatened to bomb the power plants that supply electricity to millions of Iranians unless the Strait of Hormuz was cleared within 48 hours, but he changed his mind and announced that he had called it off at 7:05 AM on March 23. The strange thing is 16 minutes before that announcement, at 6:49 AM, there was a huge spike in the trading volume of oil futures, somebody was suddenly buying a massive amount of them. That looks suspicious as hell because it's hard to imagine how this could've happened without illegal insider trading. Somebody very close to the president must be doing it, if not the president himself. For any other president this would've ignited a huge scandal, but corruption in this administration has become so common that now people shrug and say it's just another Monday.
