Mueller Didn’t Clear Trump
Breaking News: Robert Mueller wrote a letter to the attorney general objecting to his characterization that the Russia inquiry appeared to clear President Trump https://t.co/sApMAxyIhX
— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 30, 2019
The letter adds to the growing evidence of a rift between them and is another sign of the anger among the special counsel’s investigators about Barr’s characterization of their findingshttps://t.co/hl9MFjGPCp

Among Trump’s caddies:
Here’s a link describing Barr’s employment & investment ties to Russia. As such, Barr should recuse himself as Attorney General. I really believes Robert Mueller should be interviewed ASAP. Impeachment would make doing this a heck of a lot easier!https://t.co/ofeMIOSU2i. (2/2)😒

Nobody — I repeat NOBODY — drives their cart this close to the green or, god forbid, ON the green. @realDonaldTrump does it regularly.
Trump is to golf what Velveeta is to the great chefs of Paris.#CommanderInCheat https://t.co/0nQ8C03IIM— Rick Reilly (@ReillyRick) April 29, 2019
Congratulations @realDonaldTrump on breaking the 10,000-lie barrier in less than than 28 months!
You and measles are on a record pace!

Stephen Moore is the conservative commentator whom President Trump plans to nominate to the Federal Reserve Board. Moore said:
I’d get rid of a lot of these child labor laws. I want people starting to work at 11, 12.
Trump’s Fed pick Steve Moore on CSpan in 2000: “The male needs to be the breadwinner. One reasons you’ve seen decline of the family, not just in black community but now in white community as well, is because women are more economically self-sufficient.”

Pound this dude for misogyny all day, but don't miss out on how economically illiterate he is. Look to the countries that deny 50% of their population from entering the workforce. They either rely on on extraction industries or they're a basket case.

Yet no one is surprised Trump wants him on the fed. At what point do women wake up to this president how many more times must he show hes go no respect for women. they say much about women just to appease but they do nothing Watch wht they do not wht they say

@StephenMoore this frigging child support dodger needs to be in jail not on the fed. He didn't pay his child support until four police, two realtors, and a locksmith raided his home: report. Matthew Chapman 08 Apr 2019

I’m still trying to figure out how this man, managed to fail up enough to now bc he is being considered for this job. How/Why in the World was he ever considered an “Economist” and “Financial Expert”? He is the stock photo caption of “Fake it until you Make it”.

My worry is that we focus on these issues rather than on his horrible economic record and the fact that his being appointed would call into question the independence of the Fed.

“Capitalism Is a Lot More Important than Democracy”

Coming back to Stephen Moore's radicalism. The jaw-dropping line is "capitalism is more important than democracy" – it's like a liberal caricature of what conservatives think, but it turns out to be what they actually think. But there's more 1/ https://t.co/cS2OQBWgnd

What you can easily miss is that Moore is calling for what amounts to a loyalty purge at the Fed 2/ pic.twitter.com/rxRu1UoQgy

After all, what does Moore think makes those hundreds of economists worthless? He had multiple confrontations with Fed analysis in 2008 and after, in which he kept claiming that the Fed's policies would produce soaring inflation. Obviously Fed economists disagreed 3/

They were, of course, completely right; he was completely wrong. So on what basis does he declare them "worthless", with the wrong model? Well, their model is wrong in the sense that it doesn't confirm his (false) prejudices. 4/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) April 15, 2019
It would be interesting to ask who he considers to be "good" economists. I'm sure that having been wrong about everything for the past decade plus is a key qualification. Anyway, the point isn't just that Moore is a bad analyst. He wants to purge anyone competent 5/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) April 15, 2019
So people who suggest that a Moore appointment wouldn't be a disaster are missing the bigger picture. Trump is trying to do to the Fed what he's doing at DHS, purging the professionals and replacing them with apparatchiks. Moore would be just the beginning 6/
