Five days before the U.S. military invaded Venezuela, deposing its leader, Nicolás Maduro, from his office without congressional approval, Mullin purchased stock in RTX Corp., a defense contract company, as well as in oil companies Chevron and ConocoPhillips.
Those three companies have seen their stock prices increase since that time, going up following that military action in Venezuela and rising more after Trump launched an unauthorized war in Iran. As of Monday, Conoco’s stock was up by 30 percent, Chevron’s by 26 percent, RTX’s by around 15 percent, since the time Mullin made his stock purchases.

More blatant corruption and abuse of position
Yet again nothing will be done to them, when if it were you or I, we’d be in prison for life.

The Cooterbilly family has a long standing tradition of keeping their family tree looking more like a lopsided wreath.

Bro's Mom named him like he was an afterthought and forgot to fix it.
That's got to be the story of every conservative douchebag, a product of addiction and mental illness.

War has always been a business
There's no depth of corruption or cruelty that any of these fuckers could sink to that would surprise me

The corruption is what qualifies him for a position in the Trump administration.
