Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators:
"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."

The total capture of the DOJ, seemingly with very little pushback or resistance, is one of the most striking examples of the capitulation of American elites in the face of authoritarianism. It’s been less than a year, and federal prosecutions or investigations are already completely discredited.
This is just one more example of a much broader pattern: The Department of Justice targeting Trump's political enemies with made-up accusations of wrong-doing.

Yet another scandal that would have ended any other administration.
Trump's salvation is that he's doing a hundred different things that would be huge scandals and impeachable offenses on their own, but pursued together they become a blob of vague criminality that's hard to tack down.

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

On orders from Trump, his Department of Revenge has opened a criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The accusation: he exercised independent judgment rather than raising and lowering interest rates on Trump's command.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
