The virus isn’t the only thing going on in Washington that Wall Street and investors need to pay attention to.
There is another Black Swan about to take flight that could poop on the markets.
As I’ve been telling you for a long time, there are going to be repercussions from the political scandals of 2016.
The time is coming soon – maybe very soon – when we will find out who will be indicted and what impact these legal actions will have on the 2020 presidential election.
John Durham, the US Attorney in Connecticut, has been investigating whether there was wrongdoing before and after the last presidential election. His focus seems to be on whether warrants were improperly obtained to spy on the Trump campaign.
But over the two-plus years since Durham has been on the case, the probe seems to have expanded. High up intelligence officers in the US seem to be the target.
Durham’s probe could turn very political if his evidence determines that actions were taken by the intelligence community to aid the Democrats.
Recently, Attorney General Bill Barr had this to say about Durham’s probe: “His primary focus isn’t to prepare a report. He is looking to bring to justice people who were engaged in abuses,” Barr said.
