The whole point of everything they do — firing IGs, privatizing the DOJ and FBI, decimating the IRS and EPA, eliminating the CFPB and the cybercrime cops and the crypto cops, etc — is to enable corruption. That’s the whole point of oligarchy. SCOTUS gave TSF total immunity and he can pardon all his insider cronies, and regardless these people are physically incapable of resisting a corrupt opportunity. Why in the world would they not manipulate the market?

It’s amusing to see everyone in the media phrasing it as a question.
