Really? An independent thinker? Why would Tillis care if there is a criminal probe into potential wrong doing and why would you defend his strong opposition to it???

“Criminal probe”??? On cost overruns at a federal project??? And an allegation that someone testifying to congress about it “lied”? How often do members of Congress lie in their own testimonies (speeches) in Congressional “investigations” , every day, and never get prosecuted for “perjury”.
O.K. Powell (whom Trump appointed to the Fed) has not been a stellar Fed Chairman, and Trump feels his advisors advised him badly in choosing Powell, and Trump would like lower interest rates than Powell has achieved. “Criminal probe”??
No. Trump wanted Powell out sooner, and that’s it, period.
Tillis was right, drop the stupid “investigation” and get Trump’s new fed appointee confirmed, and move on.
It has nothing to do with Tillis being in anyone’s pocket.
