Wrong. It speaks to USA-style unfettered capitalism that lets the banks to whatever the hell they want, no questions asked. He doesn't know because he has no legal mechanism to even ask, let alone demand, that the 40,000+ banks in the US give him any data at all.

Many government employees only work their to get inside information, to boost their salaries as contractors.

Hard to answer a question when the person asking the question wrote laws preventing you from seeking the answers. US banking regulatory agencies have no real power over the banks.
Imagine going in front of a Congressional Hearing and not having information ready that you know will be asked. Complete incompetence and the highest levels of government.
Please . I understand your ire , and I sympathise . But " treason " is technically a military term . Citizens don't take a formal , actionable , oath to the CiC and the Constitution . Using "treason " and even " sedition " just waters the terms down .
@@deanoverlie224 Citizens CAN be tried for treason if they have been involved with anything having to do with helping the military or any government agency go against its own government. I know many non military citizens were tried for treason after WWII.

Gosh I think I love this guy; I could listen to him all day. If other officials went by his standards and straight up talk and demanded answers, we would not be in this mess. Bless his heart.
Knowing how the government works is important, we the people should KNOW. We used to learn this beginning in 6th grade onward because, a Senator cannot begin prosecution. There is a long chain of procedures that must be followed which is WHY these crimes and government takeover has happened. It protected those who are doing the real harm to our system, governing and country. If everyone would learn WHO IS in charge of prosecuting or beginning inquiries for warrants/ subpoenas it would allow the PEOPLE of AMERICA to begin putting pressure on those who have that power.
Right? But you know they don't forget, they don't know the answers because they really don't work. They just collect paychecks that we as Americans pay.
Selective Memory, I believe is the term for 'I would have to get you that information later '. Thank you Senator Kennedy, I just wish everyone had to go by your standards.
I watched it twice. These federal employees are paid by the taxpayers to investigate the banks So when the banks fail, it's legitimate for the taxpayers to ask: "What the hell have you been doing all this time?". Kennedy is doing this here. The federal employee with this responsibility has no answer to "What the hell have you been doing?". So why have him there? Why pay for federal employees who do not perform the task that we have them there to perform?
They know the size of their paycheck. They know that doing a few years of "public service" will get them an even bigger paycheck in the private sector so their connections can be exploited... Though I assume that wasn't what you were referring to lol
Imagine doing this poorly at YOUR job then remember you employ these people to fail. Kennedy is always on point, people underestimate him then find that out
Yes I agree however nothings changed they just bicker back-and-forth all day long but nothing changes. The only thing that changes on this planet is things just keep getting worse. They pulling out all the problems but everyone still has their job.
The fact he doesn't want to talk about it in front of the American people should alarm everyone and tells you all you need to know. #OurSystemIsCorrupted
Kennedy is defiantly on of the top 10 politicians asking questions that should be brought before the American people. He totally has that Colombo method down. Colombo was a fictitious YV investigator from the 70s era. He would also after questioning a suspect and walking towards the door say "there is just one more thing" 😂
He needs to openly talk to the American people about the need to implement Bill Still's solution to this mess. He describes the solution in the last 33 minutes of his documentary. The Money Masters. We should have NEVER let the banks take control of our monetary system! And everyone in congress should DEMAND we take it back!
@@vytallicaq.6881 Ya that's fine but one would have to listen to Lyndon LaRouche to know HOW to take it back. Glass-Steagall is the answer. Reinstate the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. Which Bill Clinton repealed 1999. Separate commercial Banks from the thieving Merchant Bank speculators. I have NO respect for Jaimie Diamond. He is a thief and a traitor to our Republic. But the solution is then to save our commercial banks by putting them through an orderly bankruptcy proceeding. We need our commercial banks to not collapse and throw the whole world into chaos. The Merchant Banks will have to fend for themselves. Not one red cent from the FDIC for the speculators. They made their bets and they can take the losses not We the American People. No more bailouts with our childrens and grandchildrens future,.
“I want to talk about it in front of the American people” the best sentence I’ve heard from Washington in over 2 years. Thank you senator Kennedy. You are definitely one of a kind.
Best counter to that sentence is the usual response: "I don't want to give you the wrong number, I'd have to check into that and inform you in the future". They always deflect in the most professional business "I'm not talking" way.

If the crime is egregious enough to be an embarrassment, retirement or resignation is always an option e.g. Lois Lerner. "Lost" e-mails, pleaded the 5th. never prosecuted, even by Trump's AG

They will just blame it on racist or Mr.and Mrs. White. Or perhaps something some ancient ghost did 10,000 years after the ghost haunted his own people. If only those ancient ancestors would filed for repiration and took the Vikings to court for some payments of Viking ships we could've fled famine ,slavery under a land baron,& raping of our women, girls, culture and country we were shipped or fled out of. Only to get to America and run into the hills and away from "Civilization " such as NY and Boston only to be disadvantaged without a offer of a free up to date home and free pest control and a card to get food vs a plow or hoe to tend what we hoped to grow and survive on. I looked for a bleeding heart organization dedicated to helping only my own kind or support group. Good luck on that. Somehow I get a bunch of vs about "white privilege " or some whit racist group I've never been part of. I do have a dream that one day little poor boys and girls wont be called redneck, hillbilly or toothless inbred raping of some ol fellar whilst the banjo echoes through the hollar. Or Hollow for those unfamiliar with the very privileged never looked down on nor denied a thing from their Civilized white brethren. Or was that on tv maybe Brave Deliverance or deliverance heart ?
Treason is the act of overthrowing the government, usually by killing the government's leader. What these people are doing is following the orders Joe Biden. The only way we get rid of these good little soldiers is to elect a new president.
It's a bullshit question. Fed aims for 2% inflation. Of course it isn't "transitory" when 2% per year is their stated goal. Why not -2%? Because deflation creates as many problems as inflation. "Transitory inflation" is code for "We don't want low but steady inflation." It certainly doesn't mean "We want no inflation."
“I don’t want to pick on the Federal Reserve - I just want to treat them like everyone else”. Actually imposing standards on governing agencies. 👏👏👏👏👏. Senator Kennedy leading the way once again!!!
Wrong! The Federal Reserve IS NOT a federal agency. This is the kind of ignorance that is infuriating. The federal reserve is a cartel of international banks that CONTROL OUR CURRENCY. Their policies directly impact and degrade our economy. I suggest you start reading about this.
Treating the people that print money out of thin air shackling generations to debt slavery * like everyone else. This is a theater performance faking accountability. Nothing will ever be done sadly.
This IG who is supposed be the watchdog, is supposed to report to his own boss, who hired him and can fire him, and tell that his boss he isn't doing his job right. That's a bad setup. The Senate needs to be in charge of appointing the IG. That's why he doesn't often find wrongdoing
Isn't the federal reserve actually owned or ran by someone who isn't a American citizen like a Rothschild? He wouldn't care if America fell. In fact it's the agenda!
Thank you Senator Kennedy for sticking up for the Tax Payer. IT feels like we are turning into slaves to a very corrupt system with people who need to be held accountable for the failure of our country.
Eddie James, you are absolutely right we were turned into slaves intentionally to continually be in debt and indebted to the Cabal. We are not idiots. We are not tinfoil hat wearers… we are not nuts. We are patriotic Americans who have had it and are not going to take it any longer. We need more Senator Kennedy’s.

Our media is under lockdown by the rich who pay off our elected officials who then strip our rights away take our money and soon will turn us into a surveillance state. What are we suppose to do? What president can take down and restructure the CIA, FBI, DOJ, FED, and others? I don't see how we fix this honestly.
The Federal Reserve which is actually a private business has never been audited in over 100 years. Name one company in the United States that can claim the same.

@@faith.s_mom I get the very strong feeling that our Labour party here are getting briefings from the Democrats and are working hand in glove on certain issues. There are a lot of links between them with certain key figures having spent time in Washington. The weaponization of race is a big one. I have travelled a lot in the USA and the UK has historically not had the same level of racial tension that the US has had. However, when the George Floyd murder happened, we immediately got our mainstream media (which universally liberal left woke on steroids) in a massive pile on making out that we had the same racial problems. Black Lives Matter became a hashtag here, our soccer players started taking the knee on the pitch before all games. Anyone that said anything against it was immediately labelled a racist.

John Kennedy is a national treasure. If you want to understand the endless incompetence and slacking off of the people in the federal government just listen to John Kennedy ask them questions on anything
Our country lacks accountability. Until consequences are implemented all we will ever hear is "I dont know" "I dont feel comfortable" or "I'll get back"

Government, especially at the federal level are so good at so many things: Avoiding serious effort, diverting accountability, averting deadlines, exaggerating their own importance, ensuring continuing pay raises, and enshrining themselves within a wasteful and ineffective system.
I read the Constitution and to my surprise there is NO provision for a Federal Bank. the country was supposed to run on business taxes, not borrowing from a private bank and pay back with interest.

Love the final line. “ I want to talk about it in front of the American people.” I wish we heard more of that.
Treason was once a capital offense.
Please . I understand your ire , and I sympathise . But " treason " is technically a military term .
Citizens don't take a formal , actionable , oath to the CiC and the Constitution .
Using "treason " and even " sedition " just waters the terms down .
@@deanoverlie224 Citizens CAN be tried for treason if they have been involved with anything having to do with helping the military or any government agency go against its own government. I know many non military citizens were tried for treason after WWII.

@@deanoverlie224
Stop tooting your own horn. Liars give that oath every day. Bankers create all wars for their profit. Treason can be as simple as giving aid and comfort to the enemy...Sedition is as simple as incitement of a group to attempt o coup...get off your high horse paid for by global elites...you're just their tool to their end.

John Kennedy is a master of pointing out idiocy, but in a soft way.
True, but it seems that is as far as it get's. There are no consequences. Perhaps the soft way should end.
this is anything but idiocy
He’s “ gentle” but & Yet So crafty 🎉
“Gentle as a dove BUT crafty as a serpent “
Collusion might be the better word in most cases. :)
It's like a Stephen King Novel.
The thing is, he calls these people out all the time but that's as far as it ever goes. No one is ever held accountable.
THAT is the bigger problem.
NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
NO JUSTICE.
Knowing how the government works is important, we the people should KNOW. We used to learn this beginning in 6th grade onward because, a Senator cannot begin prosecution. There is a long chain of procedures that must be followed which is WHY these crimes and government takeover has happened. It protected those who are doing the real harm to our system, governing and country. If everyone would learn WHO IS in charge of prosecuting or beginning inquiries for warrants/ subpoenas it would allow the PEOPLE of AMERICA to begin putting pressure on those who have that power.
These hearings are theater. Staged for entertainment
sadly true
@Joseph Burnside
L E is not listening.. they are as guilty as judicial & lawmakers
The man is a National Treasure! Thank you Senator!
All these officials at these hearings prove their lack of knowledge and their incompetence and still walk out with their jobs. Simply amazing.
it's a feature mate, not a bug
It's not incompetence it's playing dumb in front of an audience
pretense! Which is worse.
They are communists
It’s all planned they can manufacture numbers like everything else
It's amazing that these people forget everything when they are being questioned.
No it's not. It's business as usual.
Right? But you know they don't forget, they don't know the answers because they really don't work. They just collect paychecks that we as Americans pay.
Selective Memory, I believe is the term for 'I would have to get you that information later '. Thank you Senator Kennedy, I just wish everyone had to go by your standards.
I think it's called Selective memoray😮
Everyone have Alzheimer!
Rock on Senator ⭐Kennedy! What do ANY of these "officials" know about ANYTHING other than their name and title?
They know how much they are paid.
I watched it twice. These federal employees are paid by the taxpayers to investigate the banks So when the banks fail, it's legitimate for the taxpayers to ask: "What the hell have you been doing all this time?". Kennedy is doing this here. The federal employee with this responsibility has no answer to "What the hell have you been doing?". So why have him there? Why pay for federal employees who do not perform the task that we have them there to perform?
They know the size of their paycheck. They know that doing a few years of "public service" will get them an even bigger paycheck in the private sector so their connections can be exploited... Though I assume that wasn't what you were referring to lol
I know nothing...
They are installed to block any investigations
Imagine doing this poorly at YOUR job then remember you employ these people to fail. Kennedy is always on point, people underestimate him then find that out
Yes I agree however nothings changed they just bicker back-and-forth all day long but nothing changes. The only thing that changes on this planet is things just keep getting worse. They pulling out all the problems but everyone still has their job.
The fact he doesn't want to talk about it in front of the American people should alarm everyone and tells you all you need to know. #OurSystemIsCorrupted
Corruption to the corel

Don't worry they are not gonna change it anyways. Its a show for the sheep and dogs.
Kennedy is defiantly on of the top 10 politicians asking questions that should be brought before the American people. He totally has that Colombo method down. Colombo was a fictitious YV investigator from the 70s era. He would also after questioning a suspect and walking towards the door say "there is just one more thing" 😂
@@exteriorized but his wife is loyal to the CCP.
He needs to openly talk to the American people about the need to implement Bill Still's solution to this mess. He describes the solution in the last 33 minutes of his documentary. The Money Masters. We should have NEVER let the banks take control of our monetary system! And everyone in congress should DEMAND we take it back!
@@vytallicaq.6881 Ya that's fine but one would have to listen to Lyndon LaRouche to know HOW to take it back. Glass-Steagall is the answer. Reinstate the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. Which Bill Clinton repealed 1999. Separate commercial Banks from the thieving Merchant Bank speculators. I have NO respect for Jaimie Diamond. He is a thief and a traitor to our Republic. But the solution is then to save our commercial banks by putting them through an orderly bankruptcy proceeding. We need our commercial banks to not collapse and throw the whole world into chaos. The Merchant Banks will have to fend for themselves. Not one red cent from the FDIC for the speculators. They made their bets and they can take the losses not We the American People. No more bailouts with our childrens and grandchildrens future,.

OF the People
By the People
For the People.

Best counter to that sentence is the usual response: "I don't want to give you the wrong number, I'd have to check into that and inform you in the future". They always deflect in the most professional business "I'm not talking" way.

I am disturbed by the number of government officials who don’t want to talk in front of the public; who hem and haw without really saying anything of value. They should be held in contempt, if they will not prepare, and will not answer in hearings like this.

The ONLY reason, beyond actual incompetence, that they would continue to push back the way they do is because of GUILT. They KNOW they've done wrong and are trying to save their own asses, totally afraid if they say the wrong thing they will provide the resources for their own demise.

Thank you to Senator Kennedy. PLEASE hold these people accountable. We DESPERATELY need for them ti be held responsible for their actions.
Until we hold the politicians accountable and send those that abuse their positions to jail there is no way they will hold anyone else accountable. They have too many skeletons. Kennedy is a good one from all I have seen but he is a loud guppy in a swamp full of sharks.
I think the point you're missing is that exposing it doesn't actually do anything to fix it
@chuckbabbs2726 too bad crooked folks in power are only ones to fix.
@@chuckbabbs2726 is that the point im missing? Because I sure don’t remember making any statements about how just exposing them will completely fix the problem.

So no, pretty positive that point has not been missed.
They will just blame it on racist or Mr.and Mrs. White. Or perhaps something some ancient ghost did 10,000 years after the ghost haunted his own people. If only those ancient ancestors would filed for repiration and took the Vikings to court for some payments of Viking ships we could've fled famine ,slavery under a land baron,& raping of our women, girls, culture and country we were shipped or fled out of. Only to get to America and run into the hills and away from "Civilization " such as NY and Boston only to be disadvantaged without a offer of a free up to date home and free pest control and a card to get food vs a plow or hoe to tend what we hoped to grow and survive on.
I looked for a bleeding heart organization dedicated to helping only my own kind or support group. Good luck on that. Somehow I get a bunch of vs about "white privilege " or some whit racist group I've never been part of.
I do have a dream that one day little poor boys and girls wont be called redneck, hillbilly or toothless inbred raping of some ol fellar whilst the banjo echoes through the hollar. Or Hollow for those unfamiliar with the very privileged never looked down on nor denied a thing from their Civilized white brethren. Or was that on tv maybe Brave Deliverance or deliverance heart ?
Those committing treason should be still held accountable even today!
Treason is the act of overthrowing the government, usually by killing the government's leader. What these people are doing is following the orders Joe Biden. The only way we get rid of these good little soldiers is to elect a new president.
Right! There's no statute of limitations on treason.
Kennedy you are a blessing. Thank you for caring. I love you!!!
"Do they get a bonus when they say inflation is transitory, and it's not? LOL classic Sen Kennedy right there.
It's a bullshit question. Fed aims for 2% inflation. Of course it isn't "transitory" when 2% per year is their stated goal. Why not -2%? Because deflation creates as many problems as inflation. "Transitory inflation" is code for "We don't want low but steady inflation." It certainly doesn't mean "We want no inflation."
He’s the BEST!
I honestly can't tell if that is sarcasm or not.
when someone is steering you away saying "dont get them involved" - you most certainly, get them involved
“I don’t want to pick on the Federal Reserve - I just want to treat them like everyone else”. Actually imposing standards on governing agencies. 👏👏👏👏👏. Senator Kennedy leading the way once again!!!
The Federal Reserve isn't a government agency, it's a private banking cabal.
Wrong! The Federal Reserve IS NOT a federal agency. This is the kind of ignorance that is infuriating. The federal reserve is a cartel of international banks that CONTROL OUR CURRENCY. Their policies directly impact and degrade our economy. I suggest you start reading about this.
Treating the people that print money out of thin air shackling generations to debt slavery * like everyone else. This is a theater performance faking accountability. Nothing will ever be done sadly.
This IG who is supposed be the watchdog, is supposed to report to his own boss, who hired him and can fire him, and tell that his boss he isn't doing his job right. That's a bad setup. The Senate needs to be in charge of appointing the IG.
That's why he doesn't often find wrongdoing
Isn't the federal reserve actually owned or ran by someone who isn't a American citizen like a Rothschild? He wouldn't care if America fell. In fact it's the agenda!
“I want to talk about it in front of the American people”👍🏼

The weaponization of race is a big one. I have travelled a lot in the USA and the UK has historically not had the same level of racial tension that the US has had. However, when the George Floyd murder happened, we immediately got our mainstream media (which universally liberal left woke on steroids) in a massive pile on making out that we had the same racial problems. Black Lives Matter became a hashtag here, our soccer players started taking the knee on the pitch before all games. Anyone that said anything against it was immediately labelled a racist.
Funny that the IG said his salary is an average of other 12 colleagues salaries including their bonus but when Kennedy asked if he gets a bonus he said no. Play on words … his bonus is built in.
It also means his salary is variable, based on the bonuses the other twelve receive, so he has to have some idea of the bonuses others are getting.

His plainly worded questions relax the ones being question.
Arrogance remains even when exposed at every hearing, whatever the committee.
John Rose: Arrogance is who they are. They have been so mighty for so long likely they can't imagine being anything else. Often in life: Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Far too much of our government is conducted through this, "I can get that to you in a private meeting." We all know why they'd rather do this behind closed doors. That's where both the "propositions" as well as the "threats" happen.
The American people need more Senators like Mr. Kennedy to push for transparency in oversight and regulation of the banks!!
I am a retired USDI employee and it is easier to divorce your wife then to dismiss a govt employee. My husband had an employee who literally did NOT show up for work and my husband's supervisor would not allow to fire that employee.. UNREAL! I saw it happen many times
Well yes. Considering there are zero laws preventing divorce (and many that encourage it, especially for the lower earning partner, and the fact that women almost always get the kids). Meanwhile you can be arrested for not wearing a seat belt in a car. Divorce is a stupid comparison.
Government Unions suck taxpayers dry. Like Teachers Unions you can't fire anybody. It's Communism and it's FKD.
It's a joke~ those "employees" are laughing at us all the way to the bank. It's the same with teachers~ doesn't matter how crappy a teacher you are, it's almost impossible to get fired. If you've got tenure~ fagetaboutit.
Same. I walked away from government work after the military because there was absolute corruption. Once you get a job it’s very hard to get fired…almost impossible. They just keep making “lateral” moves and getting paid
"Trump ate my homework" is the Fed's default position these days. Well put, Senator Kennedy.
That one really cracks me up!!! He's awesome in these hearings~ tells it like it is and always asks the REAL questions any of us would ask if we were given the chance. Too bad the person being asked almost always can't/won't answer~ and WE'RE paying their ridiculously inflated salaries. It's a disgrace.
Genius
Please pick on the federal reserve… Is it well known it’s a private entity?
@TC what's True? The part of Trump being guilty of all their problems, years after he is out of office? Or that Trump is used as a way to distract people from the true crimes they are actively concealing?
In the end, regardless if Trump played part or most likely not, these people in these positions will end up like Joan of Arc. They will be sacrificed to hide their master.
Greatest comment !
If I lived in Louisiana,I would vote for him, too. I love Senator Kennedy
Isn't it amazing that these people are called before the Committee, knowing that these questions are gonna be asked and yet they never have the answer!
They're no different than POLITICANS
@@slicedice577 They are politicians
Love how nobody in the administration never answer any questions
the majority of democrats are communist proxies or criminals.
Ever.
Senator Kennedy great voice, keep up we are on your back . God bless America, God bless Americans, God bless you 🙏
hes just showboating................. all of them are the same.
@@godsdozer I quite agree - daft old fool as I see it, just out to make his own points yet achieves nothing.
It’s a tv show, what you are watching is not realistic nor Will anything ever come of these hearings.
I love this guy!!! Restores my faith in humanity!
I’m Irish living in Ireland, and am sooo curious and would love someone to tell me.
What is the point of all these qna’s ? They seem to ask questions that never get answered! Is there consequence to the sessions?
What role do these sessions play???
John Kennedy is a national treasure. If you want to understand the endless incompetence and slacking off of the people in the federal government just listen to John Kennedy ask them questions on anything
he is a slough off himself!!!!!!!
why can't they sit in jail until they answer like everyone else ,
Our country lacks accountability. Until consequences are implemented all we will ever hear is "I dont know"
"I dont feel comfortable"
or "I'll get back"
Yeah, that’s about it.
" This will be the MOST transparent govt in history" Remember hearing that ???
@@lukequigley121Yep! Never believed a word. If his lips are moving he is lying
the lawmakers pass laws themselves protecting each other so they are never accountable. they havent been accountable for the past 100 years. when was the last time you've seen a politician being punished for their disgraced actions?
Omg....I ADORE MR. KENNEDY.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Government, especially at the federal level are so good at so many things: Avoiding serious effort, diverting accountability, averting deadlines, exaggerating their own importance, ensuring continuing pay raises, and enshrining themselves within a wasteful and ineffective system.
Thank you, we try! 🎉
@@forevergogo
And you succeed, unfortunately.
The Federal Reserve has NOTHING to do with our govt.
Their Salary is security no matter what
Exactly..well said ❤️
I read the Constitution and to my surprise there is NO provision for a Federal Bank. the country was supposed to run on business taxes, not borrowing from a private bank and pay back with interest.
Jfk tried
You can thank jews for that and a crooked president...
There's no provision for a justice dept either in the constitution, but we have to contend with the FBI every day too!!
Correct, I believe its was 1913 that a private bank call Federal Reserve became United States central bank. This bank help financed US WWI and WWII and that how they got control of the US government.
What ever happened to the gold standard?
The elites really do think we're stupid. Never in history has your vote been so important.
But they won't count because it's all rigged
@@maryfries2147some of us citizens pray daily that our right to vote as we determine, will be preserved by our state and federal representatives. 👊🙏🫰🙏
OUR VOTES WERE AND ARE USED TO CLEAN THEIR BUTTS, FO.C.
Yes America is stupid for letting people get away with treason. US has the government it deserves
Not stupid.. but powerless. And, they don't think, they know..
Senator Kennedy is a real American and serving the proud people of America.
Man I would love to have a chance to spend 2 hours talking to this great senator Kennedy. I would die happy!
Kennedy speaks softly but his point comes through like a JACK HAMMER ! GOOD JOB ! 5/23/23
He’s a great interviewer!
He speaks softly and carries a big stick
@@noahfesperman8544
More like chimps out and carries a small brain, penis and firearm.
I love how these powerful people in charge of powerful agencies...simply don't know anything about anything that they do🤷😳
ITS ALL PART OF THEIR PLAN TO RUN THE COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND. ''ONE WORLD ORDER''.
They also don't know about anything the other people in their agency do either. Yet they say they're all working hard.
@@tedzink4574 : They are working hard: At lying and stealing.
And the panel members send them in advance the topics they will be asking questions about. Regardless, they show up with zero questions they can answer.
@@kfresne3011 "Some" of the committee members. Know what to have and not have answers for is how they prep for these. Can you imagine having Trump as your boss and being this competent and forthright? "You're fired" would be running on a loop! 9:07
I love Rep. Kennedy. He's one of the best in Congress, zeros in in the problems even when he can't get a straight answer from witnesses, yet keeps a sense of humor with everything that's happening.
I find it astounding that so many public servants are unable to answer simple questions, is it incompetence or just plain obfuscation, whichever it is, they should be fired.
Good people do not go to these positions.
Deceit, thats all it is. Complete denial, they will not admit anything
Your misconception is assuming the Federal Reserve is a public entity. It's not.
Why republicans set the standards for corruption, hypocrisy and betraying America.
dude is not a public servant. I understand your confusion as they call it the federal reserve, but it is neither a reserve nor part of the federal government. It is a private organization that makes it's money on the interest of the US debt. seems like a conflict of interest
