“The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell, the central bank said Sunday, tied to the central bank’s renovation of its headquarters office”

“Powell accused the Justice Department of using the threat of criminal prosecution to pressure the central bank to lower interest rates, calling newly issued grand jury subpoenas an unprecedented challenge to the Fed’s independence.

“The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President,” Powell said in a statement.

The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”

Hope it tanks. This isn’t something that will tank the economy or slow earnings growth. Buy the dip.

Another petty thing. Nothing will come of it, at this point I think everyone should be used to it with this admin

Imagine appointing someone and then trying to frame them for some type of fraud or misconduct

Trump is such a beta cuck.

Uh, Republicans in Congress, you awake?

Just in the last week

Attempting to indict Fed with bullshite charge that will tank the markets

Indicts Letitia James. Again.

Uses US military to remove a dictator for the oil that no oil company wants

Threatens to break up NATO for control of Greenland

Private goon squad kills a woman and he blatantly lies about what happened

Orders fed gov to take on $200B of mortgage debt

All this. In a week. Like, 7 days.

WHERE IS CONGRESS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

While I agree that this particular move will not tank the entire economy, the ramifications down the road absolutely can.

Silly move by Trump. Very much dislike what is going on at the federal government by executive branch. Legislative branch is worthless.

A buying opportunity.

Trump is a dipshit and either demented or stupid or, most likely, both.

such a relief coming to the money board after cruising through the OT and Poli board to see at least some people on here aren't in the MAGA echo chamber.

The MAGA echo chamber requires a suspension of disbelief from reality

To support everything Trump does is to have no actual beliefs or thoughts of your own, because their ethos is so completely random and unexpected that no one could possibly hold all these beliefs at once

The man who cries about the weaponization of the justice system weaponizes the justice system.

If it weren’t for double standards, he wouldn’t have any standards at all.
