DOJ is opening an investigation of the Federal Reserve Chairman over whether or not he lied to Congress about the cost of a building project…

But, the DOJ Civil Rights Division has been prevented from opening an investigation of an ICE agent who shot and unarmed protester in the face.

1. And Trump lies everyday about the cost of his projects.

[Ocelot II]

2. "Lied about the cost of a building project"? Who does that?

[returnee]

13. Hmmm, let me think......

Oh yeah, that guy.

[malaise]

3. Yes you got that right

but remember they are also trying to prevent the state government from investigating the cold blooded murder of Renee Good.

4. Yep!

5. Didn't The Cost of Trump's Ballroom Double in Cost?

Trump's Ballroom went from 200 million to 400 million before a a stone had been laid.

6. It'll be more than that in no time at all.

And most of it will wind up in the donald’s pocket.

I hope the next President tears the whole damn thing down and replaces it with a new Rose Garden dedicated to Jackie Kennedy’s memory.

9. Yes. So, where's the investigation into him?

[MadameButterfly]

12. There is a report claiming that the real project

is beneath the ballroom:

The layers of dishonesty and secrecy on this project we haven't even begun to fathom. But yeah, lets go after people for getting the price wrong on a government building that had all the approvals, and mortgage fraud for anyone (Democratic) who has to navigate homes in their state and in DC.

7. Welcome to fascism

It tastes like ashes

[COL Mustard]

11. You can't have fascism

Without “ashes”.

8. Something I learned in high school Civics, and later in college American Government classes

The Federal Reserve Board does not in anyway answer to or be subservient to the POTUS. The Constitution strictly prohibits any effort by the Executive Branch from having authority over the Fed.

That includes lawsuits and nasty-ass midnight Xwitter posts by the president.

Chairman Powell was turning a deaf ear towards Chump, but now he's had it.

10. Omg! That gif! I remember that.
