President Donald Trump is considering suing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday.

[.....]

“Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we’ve blown through Powell and the complacent Board. I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.

The Fed didn’t immediately respond to CNN’s request for a comment.

It’s possible that any case Trump is considering to pursue shares similarities with the criminal investigation that Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is advocating for, alleging Powell gave false testimony in June to lawmakers regarding the Fed’s renovation plans. Since Powell’s testimony, the Fed has published more materials clarifying the statements he made under oath.

5. Where are we on the Epstein Files?

I seem to recall hearing that Trump’s name was mentioned in them quite a few times.

"The times Trump's name appeared in the Epstein files the DOJ has already released" - https://abcnews.go.com/US/times-trumps-appeared-epstein-files-doj-released/story?id=123848078

"FBI redacted Trump’s name from Epstein files before deciding ‘no basis’ to release them, report claims” - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-epstein-files-fbi-redacted-b2800535.html

8. MOre distractions.

Just keep shoveling garbage to keep ahead of his sexy time crimes.

9. I'm gonna sue is trump's version of 'my dad is gonna beat you up'

He has not evolved past second grade schoolyard threats. He makes a lot of threats but in the heat of the moment, forgets about that whole Discovery thing.

If he goes ahead and actually follows thru on half of his threats to sue, gotta wonder how hard lawyers for firms that capitulated to his threats and agreed to provide gratis legal services will actually work for the Crybaby in Chief.

11. The convicted felon suing someone is pretty ironic.

what a twisted world we live in

[58Sunliner]

12. Is he dead yet?? Such a tiresome pos.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. All these LAWSUITS on the Nation's Credit card.

Which is why Law Firms capitulated to him.

Good luck with that Donnie Dipshit. The economy is NOT doing so well. Dropping interest rates to near zero will not only devalue the US Dollar, but reduce the ability to generate wealth for those who need it, There are pluses and minuses to low interest rates when borrowing money. The loans still have to be paid back.

14. He'll do anything to

Try and make the Epstein Files go away.

Total pedo rapist move.
