Warren calls for investigation into planned Trump SPAC deal
The Hill ^ | 11/18/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Posted on 11/18/2021 1:15:19 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to open an investigation into the planned deal between former President Trump’s new media and technology company and a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, or SPAC.

In a letter to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, Warren said Trump’s company “may have committed serious securities violations by holding private and undisclosed discussions about the merger as early as May 2021,” which was before the deal was announced.

Trump announced last month that he was launching a new social media network, dubbed “Truth Social,” while also revealing that his Trump Media & Technology Group had entered into a merger agreement with Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC), a SPAC. The blank-check company was established in December.

So...how does Fauxcahontas think business deals come together? Certainly there were discussions. Now, what is the real issue, dumbass?

“There is NO reason for this nonsense.”

~~~

This is how power hungry people operate. Someone who would do this with limited power would be a tyrant with unlimited power. But of course, Trump was the real dictator. heh I wish I could roll my eyes without spraining them

“may have committed serious securities violations by holding private and undisclosed discussions about the merger as early as May 2021,” which was before the deal was announced.”

Aren’t you always supposed to have private discussions about a merger before any deal is announced ?

How are you suppose to put together a merger without having some meetings before you announce that a deal has been reached?

JMHO, but the establishment is more terrified of Trump now than when he was POTUS and they will harass him until the day he quits or dies.

There actually is a reason. Far too many conservatives seem to think that the DEMs will play fair and square at some point in the future. I pretty much figured that wasn't going to happen as far back as the early 1980s. If it isn't obvious by now the DEMs don't give a rat's ass what people think is right and honorable, then those people are never going to change.

Pocahontas don’t know sh*t about investing.
She knows plenty about the Communist Manifesto though.

Her uniform... virtually every day she campaigned and anywhere else public was always (and still is in the Senate, on special hey look at me days) Red on Black. The Communist Party official colors. Red jacket on black pant suit/top usually.

She is clearly a Commie. clever fake fauxahontas who lied about her provably false heritage to say she is descended from American Indians, specifically the Cherokee Nation (who rejected through their geneological proof requirements committee and experts in tribal heritage— her “claim” as preposterous).

There it is again. “May.” Elizabeth Warren may have stolen millions from Wall Street. Investigate her.

No evidence + conjecture = just go away

I actually suspect there is.

Using a SPAC to get around securities laws and raise loads of money from largely unsophisticated investors (plus frontrunner speculators).

She’s still acting as though Trump was a politician in office. If he were a sitting president, such actions might be called into question. Since he is not, what business is it of hers?
