Hensarling Slams Fed's "Willful Obstruction" In Leak Probe, Demands "Immediate Compliance"
Pedro da Costa will be pleased (as should every other American who actually believes The Fed is NOT above the law) as Rep. Jeb Hensarling unleashes a damning letter to The Fed accusing them of "willful obstruction" in the Congressional leak probe. Hensarling and Duffy demand "immediate compliance" with the subpoena and see "no legal basis to withhold records from Congress." We are sure these 2 gentlemen will not be invited to the FOMC Press Conference either.
- *HENSARLING: NO LEGAL BASIS TO WITHHOLD RECORDS FROM CONGRESS
- *HENSARLING'S PANEL PROBES LEAK OF CONFIDENTIAL FOMC INFORMATION
- *HENSARLING DEMANDS FED'S `IMMEDIATE COMPLIANCE' WITH SUBPOENA
- *HENSARLING, DUFFY MAKE DEMAND IN LETTER ON PROBE OF FED LEAK
- *HENSARLING ACCUSES FED OF `WILLFUL OBSTRUCTION' OF LEAK PROBE
In a letter sent to Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen, Hensarling and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) accused the Fed of an inadequate initial examination, after it was discovered that investment advisers obtained inside Fed information before it was made public. And according to Hensarling, the Fed only reinvigorated that probe after lawmakers began asking, at which point the Fed said it could not hand over documents, lest it compromise that investigation.
The Fed’s Inspector General and the Justice Department are both investigating how the advisory firm Medley Global was able to detail for clients what Fed officials discussed in a private meeting, one day before the minutes of that meeting were made public.
But Hensarling’s panel has attempted to dig into the matter itself, and went so far as to subpoena the Fed in May to compel it to produce documents. But Yellen told Hensarling the Fed would not comply with the subpoena immediately, citing the ongoing investigations.
The fact that the Fed Inspector General briefly examined the matter years ago, and only reopened the investigation after lawmakers began making inquiries, has made Hensarling suspicious, as he accused the Fed of “vigorous and coordinated obstruction.”
“One plausible scenario is that the OIG merely ‘reopened’ the investigation to delay complying with the Committee’s requests,” he wrote. “That too is now the subject of the Committee’s investigation.”
But regardless of how and when other Fed investigations began, Hensarling insisted that Congress has the right to documents above all others. Saying his panel has the “absolute right” to requested records, Hensarling dismissed claims from the Fed’s Inspector General that executive prvilege allows them to not comply.
Rather, Hensarling said executive privilege can only be invoked against Congress by specific presidential request – and one has not been produced in this matter. And even if Prseident Obama did try to invoke executive privilege, Hensarling said his staff would still have the right to documents, because that privilege does not cover matters involving government misconduct.
Having made that argument, Hensarling said he expects nothing less than “full and immediate compliance” from the Fed.

It appears Hensarling did not get the message from Yellen...

PS: Stay out of highrise buildings and keep an eye out for low flying planes.
I demand all the feds horses (Kerry et al) and all the feds men (including yellen and moochelle) Hang themselves for their countrymen. Lets vote!

Rachel Dolezal to the rescue!!!
If she can be black and white at the same time.....lets make the NWO currency with pics of her on both sides.
All they gotta do is say they were under direction from the Executive and they can keep all their dirty little secrets safe
she should have listened to the Micheal Jackson song
re: "willful obstruction"
Revoke the Fed's charter.
We don't need the Fed.
We don't want the Fed.
Get them out of out life and pockets, now.
I like your spirit, but the FedRes, and their Zionist masters, own Hensarling, CONgress, the Executive Branch, and the courts.
They think they own the American people, but the many process servers for Liberty, like myself, make that presumption questionable in the long run.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

And I drive the guillotine.

Mr. Yellen should be perp-walked in handcuffs during her FOMC press-conference.
Looney
Pressure is mounting. Folks playing the game are surely wondering who the scapegoat will be. Be waiting quite some time for the sociopaths to reach meltdown and start shredding each other. This is probably just a teaser though. A little tremor before the real quake.
I really want to see one or more of the following:
1. Bankers eating bankers.
2. Politicians eating bankers.
3. Bankers eating politicians.
Did I forget one? Well, yes, but politicians eating politicians happens every day so there's really nothing novel or interesting about it.
If politicians eating politicians happens every day, why are there so many politicians?
Because after eating they shit.
You forgot suspicious looking nail guns
Time to set up a gallows in front of the Eccles building and start a production line.....
there's nothing like the smell of a well oiled nailgun in the morning
Just someone bought a new one this morning.

Just wait to TSHTF...
Talking about FOMC press conferences. I know this is an "old news" item, but if I had a press pass to ask Yellen one question, it would be this:
"After MF Global "did its thing, Mr. Bernanke cited a statement by the New York Fed that was ludicrous on the face of it. He said that granting a firm "primary dealer" status did not mean the firm had received any sort of "stamp of approval" from the NY Fed. Ms. Yellen - Is this statement represent the current thinking of the Fed?"
Far simpler: "How do you intend for loan counter parties to pay back money loaned into existence at interest?" Follow up would be "and how does this differ from slavery?" If I haven't been shot yet "Where does the purchasing power for your inflation target come from, and who pays for it?"
Fuck it, I'd just lob a grenade. Nobody watching the presser would understand the relevance of those questions anyway.
Nothing but a bunch of corrupt and incompetent politcal hacks. The Fed is going to end up fucking all of us in the ass, and we will suffer the same sort of severe rectal trauma that the spoiled brat dipshit Getty heir took before he ass-bled to death. Now that is dignity...
DC, FED, bankers, etc. Quite a line of people collaborating in one way or another to screw the country for personal gain and power.
Where do nail gun hot tub throw them out the window guys go to retire after hitting the big time? I want set up a pub there and listen about the good old days
"as should every other American who actually believes The Fed is NOT above the law"
Well... THERE'S your problem!
"Legal Basis" ha haha ahhaaha, who do you think owns the Judical branch? Not to mention the excecutive and legislative. Hey Hensalring, welcome to dog and pony show.
the oligarchs are not pleased, lifespan of hensarling now in question
"Legal Basis" ha haha ahhaaha, who do you think owns the Judical branch? Not to mention the excecutive and legislative. Hey Hensalring, welcome to dog and pony show.
Since absolutely no one, from Mozillo to Lerner, have complied with a "Congressional subpoena" what makes anyone think Yellen will?
"Compliance with the Law," is for the Little Peeple.
How dare he try to bite the hand that feeds him!
"Legal Basis" ha haha ahhaaha, who do you think owns the Judical branch? Not to mention the excecutive and legislative. Hensalring meet dog and pony show.

woah, mega glitch, internets tubes are excited today!
come on - I dare you to post another 6 times. Double dog dare
If this was any other 'independent' business the BOD and major shareholders would have been arrested by now. The FBI are way past due to raid the Federal Reserve and shut these mother fuckers down.
The entire issue has been intentionally framed upside down. There is no right to keep any secret by any agency It is all just made up like most everything else they do. Laughable lies. http://www.thetruthaboutthelaw.com/the-supreme-court-just-made-up-the-co...
Arrest warrant served? yep did'nt think so.
If Hensarling is unsuccessful at excising from Yellen's hairy claws the information he is requesting, maybe he could contact the ICIJ (.com) and have them look into it.
This (could) be the perfect case to bring before the Supreme Cout, Except they would f*ck it up with some crazed ruling probably penned by the self-race-loathing lunatic Clarence Thomas. Just like they've f*cked up every ruling this decade.
Did your meds IV needle pop out? Thomas is the only one there that has a brain.
I'm going all 'Dolezal' on this mutherhubbard!
I 'feel' 10yrs older than I am, so give me the damn SS checks!
As far as Hensarling, he should open a brewery, He's got the name..
Good for you. More power to you.
I, personally, self identify as President (and temporary dictator) of The United States. Now, where is my axe?
Yellen to Hensarling: "keep it up and I'll burn this motherfucker to the ground".
Who dares to insult the politburo of the banking cartell?
UNLESS Congree is willing to slap some hand-cuffs on someone then no one will comply - what's the point? Where's the consequences?
meanwhile, the thiefs / crooks in whoreington are counting their kickbacks / bribes & looking for their next victim
Laws do not apply to Wash DC. A collection of the sleaziest fucktards on earth. They are an embarrassment to dictators worldwide
Unless that letter was read to her as she sat handcuffed in the back of a Capitol Police paddy wagon, I have my doubts she gives a squirt of piss what you demand, Congressmen.
"Hensarling Slams Fed's "Willful Obstruction" In Leak Probe, Demands "Immediate Compliance"
Things like this make me laugh. Like a piece of shit pol, or crat, is really concerned with the American people.
His letter is a negotiating tactic. He desires more lucre, and/or a promise of a better position within the tyranny apparatus or a promised lucrative position within the system of crony corporate tyranny.
First and foremost rule of pols and crats: They believe nothing. The more successful ones believe even less. They regurgitate and sell cover stories for their thefts, and the thefts of those actually paying them.
A faith in pols and crats is a faith that the scorpion will successfully resist his true nature, and not sting and drown you--not going to happen.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
And he is already guilty of Article 3, Section 3 treason.

He was supposedly for repealing Obamacare, as if that would happen, but later, it turns out, it was because he was being paid off to attempt to support "privatizing" (fascism) Medicaid and Medicare to the HIC (Healthcare-Industrial-Complex).

Congress has been blackmailed into submission, it's over, Yellen is a non-issue like a plastic deck chair on the Costa Concordia post leak, what about the US state Dept NSA CIA DOD DOJ and US Military taking marching orders from George Soros?
