 DOJ drops criminal probe of Fed Chair Powell, removes hurdle for Warsh confirmation

Mad King Ludwig can't get Kevin Warsh confirmed on time, throws another tantrum at Powell

 Powell staying on as acting chair until Trump can get his shit together would be customary procedure, not an anomaly.

 Trump threatens to fire Powell if Fed chair doesn’t leave office on his own

 Fed nominee Warsh filings detail vast wealth, far exceeding past chairs

 ... Warsh’s filings detail roughly 1,800 individual assets. Many individual items are identified as being subject to “pre-existing confidentiality obligations” that prevent him from specifying the underlying assets.

Warsh in the filings pledges to divest these assets if confirmed. ...

Larry Kudlow has really devolved, falsely calling Fed Chair Powell the Fed’s first forever board member

Larry knows that's a lie.

He knows it's Senator Thom Tillis who is stopping Kevin Warsh from getting a Fed chair confirmation hearing, not Jerome Powell.

But he never mentions that.

Truly disgraceful.

I guess Larry wants no one in charge at the Fed when Powell's term expires on May 15. 

Meanwhile Alan Greenspan remained as Fed chair in 1996 pending confirmation for his next term, which took almost four months, and Marriner Eccles stayed on as Fed chair for over two months after his term expired, and on the board of governors after that from 1948-1951. G. William Miller stayed on as Fed chair for over a month in 1978 after his term expired, and Chair Powell himself had to wait over three months in 2022 for confirmation to his second term.

But Larry doesn't mention any of that either, because he's a liar.  

Powell is doing his duty while Mad King Ludwig tries to wreck everything he touches, and Larry Kudlow has become nothing but Trump's partisan hack.

The New York Sun and Real Clear Politics should be ashamed of themselves for circulating this trash.

The real reason Trump appointed Warsh to Fed Chair

 Trump needs cheaper gold for The Ballroom.

... Claudio Wewel, FX strategist at J. Safra Sarasin Sustainable Asset Management, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” on Friday that a “perfect storm” of geopolitical tensions had helped precious metals move higher this year, pointing to the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Washington’s threats to use military force in Greenland and Iran.

More recently, he said, speculation over who would be nominated as the next Fed chair had been influencing metal markets.

“The market has clearly been pricing the risk of a much more dovish contender, that’s been largely helping the gold price along with other precious metal prices. Over the last 24 hours, the news flow has changed a little bit,” Wewel said, prior to Trump’s announcement. ...
