THE FACE OF AMERICAN FINANCE has just been branded a CRIMINAL. In an UNPRECEDENTED and CHILLING escalation of the President’s war on independent institutions, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is now the target of a DOJ CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION—a move legal experts are calling an overt POLITICAL HIT JOB orchestrated from the Oval Office.
Powell confirmed the bombshell probe, revealing he is being targeted for the “crime” of DEFYING Donald Trump’s demands for lower interest rates. “This is about setting rates to serve the public, NOT the President,” Powell declared, exposing the raw nerve of a constitutional crisis. The subpoenas threaten a FELONY INDICTMENT, directly tied to Powell’s congressional testimony about Fed building renovations—a shockingly flimsy pretext that reveals the investigation’s TRUE PURPOSE: to SILENCE the Fed.
With the probe overseen by Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News firebrand, the message is GLARINGLY CLEAR: loyalty to Trump is now the ONLY LAW that matters. Senator Thom Tillis sounded the alarm, stating the Fed’s cherished independence is “NOW DEAD,” replaced by the weaponized power of a compliant Justice Department.
This is not just an attack on one man; it is a SYSTEMIC COUP against the pillars of American economic stability. With the rule of law crumbling under political pressure, a terrifying question now hangs over every institution: WHO IS SAFE WHEN THE PRESIDENT CAN JAIL HIS CRITICS?
