The
Fed
was
designed
to
operate
insulated
from
political
pressure
so
that
it
can
make
tough
decisions
based
on
data
and
the
long-term
health
of
the
economy,
not
the
whims
of
any
one
president.
This
outrageous
and
unprecedented
attempt
to
fire a
member
of
the
independent
Federal
Reserve
on
the
flimsiest
of
unproven
pretexts
is
clearly
the
latest
scheme
from
a
president
determined
to
subvert
the
institutions
that
have
kept
our
democracy
strong
and
our
economy
the
envy
of
the
world.

Sen.
Mark
R.
Warner
(D-VA), a
member
of
the
Senate
Finance
and Banking committees
and
Harvard
Law
School
grad,
sounds
off
on
the
awful
justification
President
Donald
Trump
made
in
his
attempt
to
fire
Fed.

Cook.
