I have to say, I find it funny how the EU is going to slap tariffs on Harleys, bourbon and blue jeans in response.

True, proving prior knowledge would be difficult. A counter to any such argument would simply be that of "I sold my stocks based on candidate Trump's campaign promises", it just happened to be a week before the public announcement of the fulfillment of those promises. However, I wonder what any investigative agency's domain would be in terms of  getting subpoenas and other data for investigative purposes which might corroborate insider trading, such as texts, phone calls emails etc.
