I'm expecting a wheelbarrow-full of pardons for insider trading on January 19, 2029.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship
The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.
