If he was innocent instead of making a video blaming Trump and claiming it's a witch hunt he would volunteer to be fully transparent with the public and make the contracts available tomorrow for download for anyone who cared to look at them. Powell is a fricking scumbag.

Isn’t the Fed self funded?

Hopefully the Trump admin brings someone of a higher caliber than Lindsey “the leaf chipper” Halligan this time.

I know this is the poliboard so the standard for reason is essentially in the gutter, but you have to be dumber than dogshit to legitimately believe Powell and the Fed are actually guilty of some sort of building renovation conspiracy.

Moreover, you have to actively want the economy to crash and go to absolute shite to believe that sacking Jerome Powell is actually going to improve the country.

This sounds stupid and petty. Wasting investigator's time and effort because he may have exaggerated how much a renovation project costs?

The irony and lack of awareness in this statement is pretty amazing. Do you people ever think?

So monetary issues should be decided by brain dead politicians trying to assuage a brain dead base who in reality know nothing other than what they picked up from a blurb on X or the 5 minutes they may have spent googling the issue?

Let’s start with the basics. Do you work in the construction industry?

I do. A new ground up 40 story tower costs $100m on the low end and $400m on the high end.

Now, think about a renovation project costing $2.5b compared to new construction of a 40+ story tower at $300m. Just let it sink in.

About the “experts” at the Fed…

The funniest thing about this is…

The Fed is blaming the costs on inflation.

Wait… a renovation??? For 2.5 billion??? WTF!!! And Trump wants to look into it with an investigation and it now seems to Jerome that this is about inflation, lol. How about some transparency in the cost please. Who voted for this? And then to have the nerve to create a video calling out the administration. Please make this partisan hack get another job.

Why can’t this be both. Trump being petty and the Fed fraudulently wasting money. Come on $2.5B to renovate a building.

Have you ever been inside the Fed? I have. The place is ancient.....probably filled with asbestos. To ADA type of access. Elevators that are probably 60 years old. Besides this is about the fact that Powell won't bend to Trump's wishes. The people to aim at is REGS who handle the physical plant....and if the people at DoJ don't know this someone should be fired .

Cost over runs are not a criminal matter, you do know this. It's not necessarily a civil matter either. The lying to Congress thing is bullshite.

But you sycophants will go with anything
