39. No she was never prosecuted for insider trading

Wed Aug 8, 2018, 03:09 PM

Aug 2018

She was arrested for lying to federal officers and destroying evidence, she went in and changed her diary.

Normally they bring in for an interview and if honest plead down and fine.

An arrest right out of the block is very unusual.

Way to go Jeff Sessions. Lol.

If Trump wasn't mad before, he sure would be now.
