Federal Judge to Jeannine Pirro: π₯
βThere is abundant evidence that the subpoenasβ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the president or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will.β
π₯ GOOD NEWS: Federal Judge Boasberg just BLOCKED subpoenas targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell β finding βessentially zero evidenceβ of wrongdoing. The courts are holding the line.
the cool thing about jeanine pirro is that you don't actually have to throw her in jail to punish her, you just need to send her to a place without any booze
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.
This is Pirro's dance photographer-prosecutor's opposition to the King & Spalding Fed motion to quash.
The reply is as brutal as it should have been.
a catastrophic week for our catastrophic president winds up with Judge Boasberg taking Trump and his DoJ stooges over his knee
"the government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the presidentβ

OMG π that picture! Hereβs how John Barron really looks
a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"
(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
OK, this was probably already obvious to most of you, but it just occurred to me. As well as being a grift, and a way to feel important, Trump's "Board of Peace" is another play for that damn prize he covets.

Jeff Bezos is more responsible than anyoneβeven Will Lewisβfor the job cuts at the Washington Post.
The billionaireβs decisions led the paper to its current predicament (one he could pay for in perpetuity for a fraction of his wealth).
I just cancelled mine too. The ship has sailed.
If Bezos had just dumped Will Lewis months ago, as I requested on the survey they sent me, instead getting rid of so many of his best reporters, I'd be thinking about renewing my sub now.
So I'm happy Lewis is gone, but I'm not sure that's what left of the paper is going to be worth it.
