I am writing to you today as a constituent to express my absolute outrage and to demand immediate action regarding President Trump’s recent indictment of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
This vindictive action is not merely a breach of norms; it is a direct assault on the economic stability of our nation and a flagrant abuse of power that meets the definition of a High Crime and Misdemeanor. The Federal Reserve was designed to be independent of political pressure for a reason: to make decisions based on economic data, not to serve the whims of the Executive Branch.
By weaponizing the Department of Justice to indict a public servant simply for doing his job—and for refusing to bend the knee to political pressure—the President has crossed a red line that threatens the rule of law. This is the behavior of an authoritarian, not a democratically elected leader. It sets a dangerous precedent that no institution is safe from retaliation if it fails to demonstrate total loyalty to the President.
We cannot wait for the damage to become irreversible. I demand that you publicly condemn this action immediately and introduce or support articles of impeachment against Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of justice.
History is watching. Do not be complicit in the dismantling of our independent institutions.
