At lunch, Hinderaker — ever the coward — is too much of a shrinking violet to say what is obvious to anyone who’s looked carefully at it:
The President cannot fire the Fed Chair. Except for very narrow “for cause” — affirmative, intentional misconduct (like, say… conviction of felonies — oops… but that would be… yep, Tangerine 2.0 — should be fired! He remains a convicted financial frauds felon). But I digress. Where was I? Oh. Right.
Just yesterday, I quoted (what I had then hoped was an academic point)… had hoped… would would never be a “live” discussion: the idea that Trump might try to fire or dismantle the Fed.
Now… it is more or less… “live” — at least in the sense that the dotard is raging on his dead letter social media service, about doing it. It is a “no chance” possibility. Chief J. Roberts will never G for it.
But Hinderaker makes it sound like… maybe Baby T has a point. He does not — unless he resigns at the same time, for being a convicted felon.
Geez. What a pair of putzes. Both of them.
