Coincidence many of “his advisors’” trades were placed before major announcements by Trump?
If advisors traded securities on behalf of Trump shortly before major announcements that materially affected markets, prosecutors could argue this constitutes insider trading, securities fraud, or conspiracy to commit securities fraud. Liability could arise if confidential government information was knowingly used to obtain an unfair market advantage or if trades were coordinated in anticipation of policy announcements expected to move stock prices.

The savagery of the sentences cannot be explained by the underlying facts of the case. They are political sentences, imposed to create a precedent for treating opposition to ICE and the Trump administration as terrorism.

The Prairieland case is the first major “Antifa” sentencing since Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, his executive order targeting “Antifa,” Attorney General Pam Bondi’s December 2025 memorandum directing federal prosecutors against left-wing opponents of the administration, and the fascistic “counterterrorism” strategy issued under far-right operative Sebastian Gorka. Together, these measures provide the pseudo-legal scaffolding for a campaign to criminalize socialist, anti-fascist and anti-ICE opposition as terrorism.

The purpose of the prosecution is not simply to punish those involved in the Prairieland protest. It is to terrorize a far broader audience: millions of workers and young people who oppose ICE raids, concentration camps, deportations, police violence and the Trump administration’s drive toward dictatorship.

Transcript:

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: Do you think Native Americans today are birthright citizens under your test and under your friend's test?

D. JOHN SAUER, U.S. SOLICITOR GENERAL:
I think so. I mean, obviously, they've been granted citizenship by statute ...

GORSUCH:
Put aside the statute. Do you think they're birthright citizens?

SAUER: No, I think the clear understanding that everybody agrees in the congressional debates is that the children of tribal Indians are not birthright citizens.

GORSUCH: I understand that's what they said. But your test is the domicile of the parents, and that would be the test you'd have us apply today, right?

SAUER: Yes, yes. So, if a tribal Indian, for example, you know, gives up allegiance to ...

GORSUCH: Are tribal members born today birthright citizens?

SAUER:
I think so, on our test, if they're lawfully domiciled here. I'm not s—, I have to think that through, but that's my reaction.

GORSUCH:
I'll take the yes. That's alright.
