As Trump’s DOJ pursues Powell, it's worth appreciating the brazenness: Trump abusing the justice system. He knows he’s abusing the system. He knows that we know he’s abusing the system — but he’s doing it anyway.

The corruption is the point. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Prosecutors open investigation into Fed Chair Powell, sparking immediate backlash
