POWELL UNDER SUBPOENA: The DOJ Probe, Trump’s Rate War, & Jamie Dimon’s Warning

Описание: Is the Federal Reserve’s independence officially dead? We break down the January 2026 Constitutional Crisis between the Trump administration and the Fed. Following Jerome Powell’s defiant video statement disclosing DOJ subpoenas and threats of criminal indictment over "building renovations," we analyze the data. Is this a legitimate investigation into a $2.5 billion renovation, or a "pretext" to seize control of interest rates? We break down why Jamie Dimon warns this could trigger a bond market revolt and push inflation back toward 1970s levels.

The Data Dividend: The "Pretext" Probe and the 10% Interest Rate Cap
On January 13-14, 2026, the global financial community rallied around the Fed. This video analyzes the legal maneuvers, the geopolitical fallout, and the "Inflation Uncertainty Premium" hitting Treasury yields.

In this critical analysis, we cover:

The Subpoena Strategy: We detail the DOJ's criminal investigation into Powell’s testimony regarding the $2.5 billion Fed headquarters renovation. We analyze Powell's "unprecedented" response, where he directly linked the probe to his refusal to cut rates at the President's command.

The Global Coalition: We look at the "Extraordinary Joint Statement." For the first time, governors from the ECB, Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan have issued a collective defense of an American Fed Chair. We analyze why they view this as a threat to global financial stability.

Jamie Dimon’s Warning: We analyze the JPMorgan CEO’s sharp break with the White House. Dimon warns that "chipping away" at Fed independence will backfire, leading to higher inflation expectations and higher long-term borrowing costs—the exact opposite of the President’s goal.

The "Lisa Cook" Legal Battle: We look at the personnel war. With the administration attempting to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, we analyze the Supreme Court's role and the "For Cause" legal standard that protects central bank officials from being fired over policy disagreements.

The "10% Cap" Disruption: We connect the Fed fight to the broader war on banks. We discuss the President's proposal for a 10% interest rate cap on credit cards, which Jamie Dimon estimates could cost the banking sector $100 billion a year and cause a massive credit contraction.
