Yellen’s comments come the day after #JeromePowell confirmed he’d been made aware that the #USAttorney’s Office in Washington, DC, is looking into whether the #CentralBank leader lied during testimony he provided to #Congress last June about an expensive renovation project at the Fed’s HQ. The office is led by #JeaninePirro, a #Trump confidante & fmr #FoxNews host.The #DOJ has not confirmed the investigation into what would be perjury charges.#law #economy #independence #FederalReserve

#JanetYellen bristled at the notion that #JeromePowell might have lied.“Knowing Powell as well as I do, the odds that he would have lied are zero so I do believe they’re going after him because they want his seat & want him gone,” she said.#Trump #RevengePolitics #DOJ #law #economy #independence #FederalReserve #autocracy #despotism #dictatorship #tyranny #recession #trumpcession

#Trump has badgered the #Fed to lower rates….Yellen said using the Fed’s key overnight borrowing rate to manage the #debt is irresponsible.“You have a president that says the fed should be cutting rates to lower rate payments on the federal debt,” Yellen said, adding she “completely [disagrees] with that. It is the road to banana republic.”#RevengePolitics #DOJ #law #economy #independence #JeromePowell #FederalReserve #autocracy #despotism #dictatorship #tyranny #recession #trumpcession

“This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for #inflation & the functioning of their #economies more broadly. It has no place in the #UnitedStates whose greatest strength is the rule of #law, which is at the foundation of our economic success,” the statement said.#Trump #RevengePolitics #DOJ #economy #independence #JeromePowell #FederalReserve #autocracy #despotism #dictatorship #tyranny #recession #trumpcession
