Keep throwing that spaghetti against the wall, Tish — sooner or later something's gotta stick.
[NYPOST] New York Attorney General Letitia James' office is scrutinizing whether insider trading took place in connection with President Trump's 90-day pause on customized ''reciprocal'' tariffs announced last week.
The examination is in its preliminary stages and is not yet a full-fledged probe, James' office confirmed to The Post Tuesday.
It was not immediately clear whether specific individuals and companies were subject to the review, which was first reported by CNN.
Shortly before the US markets opened April 9, with indexes in free fall over tariff uncertainty, Trump declared on Truth Social that it was a ''GREAT TIME TO BUY.''
That afternoon, the president announced the postponement of the customized rates while keeping a 10% baseline duty in effect on most imports.
The stock market rebounded sharply, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 7.9%, the S&P 500 surging 9.5%, and the Nasdaq spiking 12.2%.

Throughout that case, James repeated her mantra that there would be no exceptions for the rich and powerful.
Unless you're a Dem and a member of two other higher 'castes'.

She listed herself and her father as Husband and Wife. Shades of Ilhan Omar

She needs to focus on the upcoming indictment for real estate fraud...
I think this is her strategy to; thing is the insider trader trial balloon didn't fly because that is a can of worms a lot of suddenly rich and legacy politicians do not want to have opened.

Letitia (three syllables, end with vowel - my decoder ring works!) is shining a spotlight on a crime having been committed by a number of Dems in high places.
The ripples caused by her troubles may swamp some interesting boats.
[NY Post] Deep State or Just Media Suck Up? Dan Caldwell, a key adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was “escorted” out of the Pentagon Tuesday after being implicated during a leak investigation.
Caldwell was put on administrative leave for “an unauthorized disclosure,” a US official told Reuters, adding that “the investigation remains ongoing.”
A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to The Post that Caldwell had been removed from his post.
Caldwell was “escorted” out the Pentagon Tuesday, a DOD spokesperson confirmed.
It’s unclear what material Caldwell, a senior adviser in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, is accused of leaking and to whom.
Caldwell’s removal comes less than a month after Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, ordered the director for defense intelligence (counterintelligence, law enforcement, and security) to assist in a probe into “unauthorized disclosures of sensitive and classified information across the Department of Defense.”
“Recent unauthorized disclosures of national security information involving sensitive communications with principals within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) demand immediate and thorough investigation,” Kasper wrote in the March 21 memo.
The directive noted that polygraph tests could be administered “in accordance with applicable law and policy” as part of the hunt for the leaker.
It’s unclear whether Caldwell was subjected to a polygraph test.
A report including a “complete record of unauthorized disclosures within the Department of Defense and recommendations to improve such efforts” is expected to be delivered to Hegseth at the end of the investigation.
“I expect to be informed immediately if this effort results in information identifying a party responsible for an unauthorized disclosure, and that such information will be referred to the appropriate criminal law enforcement entity for criminal prosecution,” Kasper wrote.
It’s not yet known whether Caldwell will face any criminal charges.
Caldwell previously worked at restraint-minded think tank Defense Priorities and Concerned Veterans for America, a group formerly led by Hegseth. A foreign policy realist, he has argued that the U.S. should dramatically reduce its footprint in Europe and pull out forces from Iraq and Syria.

At some point, I suggest getting rid of people involved in authorized leaks as well. Those are usually shady. Canning the people that authorize leaks ought to tick off all the right people.

Sounds like, He may have just signed and did not actually read FORM 4414.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
