This is most probably illegal, even in the US. But, oh well, it's just Wednesday in naziland.
- It's almost certainly a huge ethics violation. And it's disgusting. The gop doesn't even pretend to have integrity anymore.
- The Democrats are going to have to wave those little round signs extra hard.
  And then vote for the bill that makes this legal.
- No market manipulation is illegal in the USA for quite some time now.
  
  Illegal is only illegal if someone is willing to prosecute it. Who pray tell is going to charge the Secretary of Commerce?
  
  Google that guy and his relationship with Tether Inc.
  
  Okay, got it. I’m a bit confused though about how that changes my statement around the fact he won’t be charged.
  
  I think they meant it just as a "he's even more slimey then you think!" not an indication of if they'd be charged or not.
  
  Got it! Yeah it’s hard not to hate how much they’re getting away with.
  
  Yep
- Read up on the Hatch Act
