I had the honor of attending church & Sunday School with Dr. Perkins and his wife a few times when I was in college. I had seen him on stage before but in small settings I was struck by their warmth, humor, and great great love, for each other, for Jesus, and for their neighbors. Deepest condolences

As part of an investigation into possible fraud and false statements related to the renovation of a government facility, two grand jury subpoenas (the "Subpoenas" (attached as Exs. A and B)) were issued to the Board. The Board claims the Subpoenas were issued for an improper purpose and asks the Court to quash them. In support of its claim, the Board provides a prolix recitation of social media posts and other comments. While the majority of these posts and comments preceded the Subpoenas by months, if not years, the Board does not present even a scintilla of evidence they had any effect on the issuance of the Subpoenas. The Board's argument suffers
from the logical fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc. Since the Board has failed to establish that the Subpoenas were issued for an improper purpose, its motion should be denied.

The USAO agrees that its Subpoenas should be quashed if their dominant purpose was
improper, Opposition to the Motion to Quash Subpoenas (Opp.) at 5, and the record here
demonstrates that it was indeed improper. President Trump demanded lower interest rates from
Chair Powell and the Federal Reserve, branded Chair Powell as his political enemy for defending
the Federal Reserve's statutory independence, pressed for Chair Powell's removal, and tasked the
Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute his political adversaries to advance his political
goals. The USAO obliged, opening a criminal investigation into Chair Powell-and serving the Subpoenas on the Board-to harass, pressure, and intimidate the Board and Chair Powell to
conform monetary policy to the President's preference and force Chair Powell to resign. In other words, the Subpoenas' purpose is to aid the President's quest to seize for himself a power specifically denied to him by federal law.
Tellingly, the Opposition proffers no legitimate basis for the criminal investigation. Last
June, Chair Powell provided testimony concerning the Federal Reserve's building renovations to the Senate Banking Committee. His testimony was brief, interrupted, and supplemented by a
detailed letter to Congress, the accuracy of which is not called into question. Neither Chair
Powell's testimony, nor his supplemental letter, nor the renovations themselves explain the
USAO's actions here. Rather, we are here because the President wants to dictate monetary policy
and is frustrated that the law prevents him from doing so. Simply stated, if the Federal Reserve
were setting interest rates where the President wants them, the USAO would not have issued the
Subpoenas. Because the Subpoenas' dominant purpose is improper, they must be quashed.

My god, this is embarrassing.

That's because trump is a traitor.

He has been working for Putin for a long time.

Why can't more people see this?

The GOP and MAGA have become so badly corrupted, every single one of them is complicit in enabling and protecting a global pedophilia trafficking ring from naming names.
