1) Warsh confirmed, Fetterman shows his ass again as does, now, Coons (D-Visa/Mastercard).

2) Trump takes steps within days to fire Powell from Fed Board, despite his decision to stay. While lawsuits ensue, federal marshals physically bar Powell from meetings. Tillis will squirm a little,
till ..

3) Blanche and Pirro, et al announce a new indictment of Powell, probably independent of the one Tillis is so proud he got dropped, and he will squirm a lot more

4) Trump issues an executive order of some ridiculous sort citing a national emergency -- based on the disaster he had made of the economy months or weeks before the Midterms -- to instruct the Fed to drop interest rates. Wall Street Journal will be pissed off, NY Times will call it a further "flexing of Trump's executive muscle on the economy".

5) Fed makes a small, but symbolic, cut in the interest rate. Trump World calls it a great victory for the American people, and precedent is set. Warren and Murphy call for Warsh to be charged with perjury, Tillis looks even more stupid, and Fetterman gets pissed at Warren and Murphy...
