The Trump administration is making it crystal clear they had nothing to do with the Department of Justice's investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, but don't expect that to stop Democrats from having a complete meltdown over "political retribution."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this week that President Trump did not direct DOJ officials to investigate Powell, despite weekend headlines that sent the left into their typical hysteria about the "independence" of the Federal Reserve.
Social media users were quick to document the administration's clarification, with @MiloX_Viral posting: "White House's Leavitt confirms: Trump did not direct DOJ officials to investigate Federal Reserve Chair Powell."
But the liberal outrage machine was already in full swing. One unhinged Twitter user @LovelyMsNet ranted about "The audacity of Dept of Trump (formerly DOJ) to investigate Jerome Powell," perfectly demonstrating how Trump Derangement Syndrome continues to cloud leftist judgment even in his second term.
The Fed's Questionable Track Record
Here's what Democrats don't want you thinking about: maybe Powell deserves some scrutiny. Under his leadership, Americans have watched their purchasing power evaporate through inflation that hit 40-year highs during the Biden regime. Working families got crushed while the Fed played games with interest rates that benefited Wall Street over Main Street.
The Federal Reserve isn't some sacred institution beyond accountability - it's a government agency that wields enormous power over every American's financial future. If there are questions about Powell's conduct, shouldn't the American people have answers?
"The independence of the Fed" has become liberal code for "don't ask questions about our financial manipulation."
Patriots should ask themselves: why are Democrats so desperate to protect Powell from any investigation? What are they afraid investigators might find? The same establishment that weaponized the DOJ against Trump for years is now clutching their pearls about potential "political retribution" - the irony is thick enough to cut with a knife.
This administration has been clear about restoring accountability to government agencies. If that makes the swamp creatures nervous, that's exactly the point.
