Trump’s DHS Nominee Made Profitable Stock Purchases Days Before US Military Strikes
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.

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.
