“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.
Sorry, but I want an investigation into why it’s costing over a billion dollars to renovate a Federal building. Trump knows, and so do I, that there is something very wrong with that number and it would point to monkey business in the construction process. Very common generally in the business but this situation is beyond believable on the surface. Any improprieties need to be prosecuted.
