A federal judge on Friday said he was blocking subpoenas that the Justice Department served to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in a probe purported to be about the management of the central bank's renovation.
"A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning," Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge on the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., wrote in a court filing.
Boasberg continued: "On the other side of the scale, the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime; indeed, its justifications are so thin and unsubstantiated that the Court can only conclude that they are pretextual."
"The Court therefore finds that the subpoenas were issued for an improper purpose and will quash them," the order states.
Powell said the threatened indictment was related to his testimony before the Senate in June about the renovation of Federal Reserve office buildings.
"No one—certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve—is above the law," Powell said in an unprecedented Sunday night video statement Jan. 11. "But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure."
The judge’s order was the latest failed effort by Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, to prosecute members of the political class as President Donald Trump ratchets up his calls to go after his perceived enemies.

Boasberg strikes again. He needs to be removed from the bench.
Judge James Boasberg
Why does this judicial zit still exist?
I see that treasonous prick Boasberg got this case. The outcome was set before anyone said a word.
Aha - Judge Noseberg protecting the communist deep state again!
Judge James Boasberg
Imagine knowing that one’s Trump Derangement will never be challenged, that one can exercise tyrannical power over our elected Article II Executive . . . and never answer for high crimes.
Weird how he catches all of these random cases.
Isn't that what evidence is examined in a trial? It's kinda weird to rule on a case citing evidence without cross examination.
I’m convinced that the loser Boasberg has a dart board with the image of Trump superimposed on it. Boasberg seems to be obsessed with ruling against Trump.
Until Roberts gets off his ass and starts sanctioning these leftist, corrupt, and partisan judges we will not have a judicial system as it was meant to be.
Roberts IS a leftist, corrupt, partisan judge.
Boasberg….
Anyone see that coming?
(I’m full of satire today)
Essentially. Just for sh*ts and grins tell us what evidence was provided. As if.
Judge Jeanine spit tacks over this nonstop for about 15 minutes. she’s appealing of coouse. Boasberg is way off base- but he wants to slow the case down. do wish they’d impeach the son-of-a-gun.

as far as roberts is concerned, boasberg did nothing wrong
“Boasberg strikes again. He needs to be removed from the bench.”
If the situation were reversed, the democrats would have him out in a heartbeat.
I read a headline that the democrats are already planning their legal attacks on everything Trump if they take the House in November, and that is with no evidence.
The Republicans have evidence up to their gills against democrat operatives and the fools refuse to act.
Well, that’s not going to happen.
The appeal will be made by the Government, and presumably briefed, argued, etc. Probably will take months.
In the meantime, Tillis has stated there will be no vote on the nominated Chair, Kevin Warsh until the criminal investigation is concluded.
Given that, there might not be a vote on the Fed Chair until Summer through early January. And it’s possible the Board of Governors will vote to have Powell be acting Chairman in the meantime.
I saw that, she was awesome!
