WARREN: This should be an easy one. Can you commit that Trump's Fed nominee, Kevin Warsh, will not be sued or investigated by the DOJ if he does not cut interest rates in the way Trump wants? BESSENT: That's up to the president WARREN: I'm sorry -- you can't... say he won't be criminally investigated if he won't drop interest rates? That's supposed to be the soft ball!show more

So it's up to the President to threaten lawsuits against anyone who doesn't do his bidding? The fuck?

"BESSENT: That's up to the president" So much for independence, eh?

The smug look on Scott Bessent's face deserves a good slap.

If refusing to cut interest rates can expose a Fed nominee to DOJ retaliation, then the problem isn’t inflation , it’s authoritarian pressure dressed up as governance.

Softball, cannon ball, cotton ball - Bessent won't answer any question that may contradict the Trump Regime.

@codyjttrpg The smug look on Scott Bessent's face deserves a good slap.

This should be a wakeup call to Kevin Wash. Look into your future Kevin. Eventually, you will be the "fall guy"

Bessent won't shield Fed dissenters from prosecution—turning rate decisions into loyalty tests. This intimidation tactic already triggered gold's worst crash since 1980: a 10% plunge proving markets fear politicized rates. Thus, Trump trades dollar credibility for blind obedience, making Americans pay with inflation and instability.

Democrat politicians want high interest rates in order to crash the US economy. They hate poor Americans who want to buy a home.

Scott Bessent is such a smug douchebag that he doesn't even realize what he's saying. It's up to the President if the DOJ sues or investigates a member of the Federal Reserve Board????? THE PRESIDENT SHOULDN'T BE DIRECTING DOJ TO DO ANYTHING!!!

"I can't say anything that's going to anger my orange god."

Any semblance of Trump being functional is gone.

Bessent is a bitch for that calling Warren Pocahontas is crazy and racist

@mrbigg450 Panning out a bit, that’s an amazing admission that Trump, himself, is initiating criminal investigations and not DOJ.

Bessent's ad hominem attacks are juvenile. These aren't serious people.

@GarciaRosalind I hate the way Bessent looks down his nose at everyone. I mean literally physically looks down his nose.

When corruption and stupidity combine into one body.

She's like his cat toy. I can't get enough..

Bessent Always looks down his nose at Everybody.

Fake Indian said what?

He won’t have to be sued, that guy is going to take the job to do exactly what Trump wants like the rest of his cabinet!

Self-proclaimed Native American Senator Warren is not very bright; she's more about being bossy and saying mean things. Facts have no place in her belief system.

@rbgslegacy Straight up contempt of Congress and he knows it. This prick is literally stuffing his pockets w/ cash and counting the days until his term ends.

In his unimpeachably serene air of superiority, Bessent is an utterly disgusting human being.

hmmm maybe ask him why trump nominee is in the epstien files?

Bessent ducks; Trump controls Fed. 🤡

Yeah. Bessent doesn’t speak for the President. He can’t say what the President will or won’t do.

Bessent says whatever Donnie wants him to say. He has no backbone, no honour, no honesty, no self worth, no sense of civic duty. He lies brazenly, with that creepy smirk plastered onto his mug. He's an embarrassment to this country.

Scott Bessent is what you get when a ventriloquist’s dummy and a rock have a baby.

Warsh is also in the Epstein Files, multiple times!!!

Look at the idiot thinking he said something smart at the end. God what a moron.

Scott Bessent is a dick.

JFC that guy is a grade A wanker.

Like all the other cabinet members that are testifying, Bessant takes perverse pleasure in sandbagging instead of answering. He loves blatantly changing the topic.

I’m not prone to violence but, just once, I would like to smack this smug arrogant assholes face. Just once.
