“Illegal” doesn’t mean anything when your political faction controlled the White House, Senate and the Supreme Court.
Soon we will see what having only 2 out of 3 will do, but as I understand the system, the Senate only gains power if they have a supermajority of 2/3, which didn’t happen.
We are in new territory. No one can rightly say with any certainty. I can say that by normal democratic standards worldwide, the answer is yes, very very illegal. In an autocracy its usually only illegal when rival factions do it and threaten the powerful.
Edit: The SEC has a lot of the protections in place from past administrations, but those have been severely erroded since Clinton. E.g. Repeal of the Glass-Steagall act. It has basically abdicated its role of arbiter of free and fair markets. Kind of lile the Trump FBI and DOJ.
As an analogy to understand the root of the problem in the simplest possible terms, America put a bunch of pedophiles in charge of the nations daycares. Everyone is getting diddled.
