All The Way Down

Hassett: "Kevin Warsh is going to be the Fed Chair, and when he's Fed Chair, then everybody who wants to find out about all the cost overruns and everything else that has been going on over the last couple weeks will be able to do so, because we got a Fed Chair there who people… pic.twitter.com/RK8HFfY3PX

The full investigative power of the federal government can’t find anything, so we’re going to believe the guy who replaces Powell as the Chair? While Powell is still on the Board, and with the entire Board NOT backing up the lies of the new Chairman? A new Chairman who can’t get approved until January, if then?

And now that you’ve let that plan out of the bag, what are the odds Tillis ever changes his mind? Or that any Trump nominee gets approved? Or that you haven’t just triggered very heavy Congressional oversight of any Trump nominee? Especially if that nominee goes on the Board and starts giving Trump the “evidence” Trump wants? That’ll be as transparent as glass. 

This clip, which is going viral today, is from a press conference Powell held more than a month ago https://t.co/v6gQtTKyP6

Powell can say that and have credibility. The Chairman of the Fed doesn’t replace the entire Board; or command it. She (or he) is the credible spokesperson for the Board. Destroy that, and what do you have?Now, after this silly outburst, the Trump Fed Chair will have zero credibility. Unless he renounces Trump and all his works, for the sake of the U.S. economy. At least.

Fucking with the Chair of the Fed is when you really start meddling with primal forces. Especially if he remains loyal to Trump.

You guys really aren’t very good at this, are you?
