Scarborough: SEC Should be “Coming After” Trump for Talking Down Amazon Stock
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/05/2018 4:34:42 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Now that the liberal media has apparently hit a dry hole in its effort to make a collusion case against President Trump, the MSM is going to have to get more creative in accusing him of other misdeeds.

Joe Scarborough has come up with an innovative idea: charge President Trump with market manipulation for talking down Amazon’s stock price.

On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough said that President Trump:

“lies about [Amazon], causes its stock to go down. I’ve watched enough episodes of Billions to know that if you’ve spread lies about a company or product to cause its stock prices to go down . . . the SEC should be coming after you.”

College basketball season is over. People care about the SEC only during basketball season and football season.

They are all egging on the bureaucracy into staging a coup against their boss. CW 2.0 can’t get here fast enough.

Doesn't matter if he cares or not. The other 40% of holders can't control the company, obviously, but they can sue for damages based on his reckless politicizing. If that happened, it would open the floodgates for anti-trust and other actions. You know how it is, blood in the water and sharks..

We should “come after” Scarborough for talking down Trump and half the country. Since (per Joe) the President has no 1st Amendment rights… why should M(BS)NBC?

Two observations:

1- I would never know anything said on MSNBC, CNN or any other media of the Leftie 1%, if not reported here, Fox or Drudge.

2- I hope Ole Joe (B)S… got a good price from Satan for his soul, cause he damn sure has sold it!

That comment about the coal industry, I’m convinced, played a big role in Hillary’s loss. “Hey guys, we’re going to put you out of work!”

Btw, I am going to come to the defense of governs least governs best. He is a long time FReeper who has contributed a lot to the site over the years. He’s not a Blog pimp.

He’s a smart guy, with his own cable TV show, keeps up with the news and shares it with us. Again he is no blog pimp.

Hey, Joe, I’ve watched every episode of Billions. Guess I am now an expert in global financial matters!

When does the cash start rolling in? LOL

Excellent point. Fiduciary duty to the stockholders would seem to preclude becoming political.

It’s just like everyone knows that Robert Wagner threw his drunken wife overboard.

Like when the SEC went after Ofrah for lying about the beef industry?

Seems you missed my point.
I’m not saying Trump is lying, and I disagree with Scarborough on that.
But I do think he (Trump) is shining a light on the sweetheart deal intentionally to rattle Amazon shareholders.

Joe’s running out of gas as his fallback positions become more ludicrous. GASBAG ALERT!
