We're going to get into that a little bit.
Yeah.
I mean, it's very serious.
As you mentioned, there have been some business guys finally showing some backbone on this.
Also, just a little bit on the Hill we should mention, Tom Tillis spoke out about this quite quickly last night, and he wrote this in a statement.
If there are any remaining doubt whether advisors within the Trump administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Fed, there should now be none.
It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question.
I don't know if it's in question at this point, but we'll give them something.
It's better than nothing.
Tillis goes on, I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed, including the upcoming Fed chair vacancy until this legal matter is fully resolved.
Now, Tillis by himself does not really have the power to hold up a Fed chair vacancy, but he had a couple of others, Murkowski, who knows, potentially others, and they really could have a standoff with him on this.
And also that the independence of the Department of Justice is in question.
I don't think it is, actually.
I think it's pretty clear that there is no independence.
I don't even think that Trump is pretending like there is an independence of the Department of Justice right now.
So I don't know what the question is.
You know, I think all sides pretty much agree that the Department of Justice is now, you know, completely just in service to Donald Trump's wishes.
Just for one second, we should do it, because why not?
We do the crystal fantasy politics.
Because as we get more and more into a crisis scenario where we are now, people do have agency on the Hill.
