“There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas’ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass & pressure Powell either to yield to the president or to resign & make way for a Fed Chair who will,” Judge #Boasberg wrote. “On the other side of the scale, the government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the president.”
