Jeanine Pirro’s Prosecutors Make Surprise Visit to Fed Headquarters

A pair of Pirro’s deputies were turned away after showing up at the construction site for central-bank renovation project

WASHINGTON—Prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office showed up unannounced Tuesday at the construction site for the Federal Reserve’s headquarters renovation, a new provocation in their investigation of the central bank, according to a person familiar with the matter and a letter reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

After speaking with construction workers, two of Pirro’s deputies were advised they couldn’t access the site without preclearance, and they were given the contact information for the Fed’s legal staff.

The investigation centers on the central bank’s $2.5 billion renovation of two historic office buildings and a few minutes of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress last summer about the construction project.

A Fed spokesperson declined to comment.

“Any construction project that has cost overruns of almost 80 percent over the original construction budget deserves some serious review,” Pirro said in a statement. “And these people are in charge of monetary policy in the United States?”

An outside lawyer for the Fed, Robert Hur, objected to the visit in a letter to Pirro’s office and pointed to a federal judge’s decision last month to throw out a pair of subpoenas issued to the central bank. In that ruling, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg concluded that the investigation appeared designed to “harass and pressure” Powell to bend to President Trump’s desire for him to lower interest rates or step down as the central bank’s leader.

“Should you wish to challenge that finding, the courts provide an avenue for you; it is not appropriate for you to try to circumvent it,” Hur wrote. “I ask that you commit not to seek to communicate with my client outside the presence of counsel.”

Robert Hur is the special counsel who concluded that Joe was too confused & tired to be prosecuted for doing the same thing democrats pursued Trump hammer & tongs: classified doc storage—though Joe’s violations were numerous and he had no presidential authority to declassify, as Trump did.
Anyway, democrats insisted Joe was still as sharp as a tack, until the debate.
Hillary’s e-mails. Walz’s welfare fraud, Lois Lerner. James Clapper, etc. etc. All same-same.
Democrats always get a pass, unless they want one of their own gone, like Swalwell.

In that ruling, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg concluded that the investigation appeared designed to “harass and pressure” Powell to bend to President Trump’s desire for him to lower interest rates or step down as the central bank’s leader.

Boasberg is the gift that just keeps on giving.
