We said previously that today's "Humphrey-Hawkins" testimony Q&A would be punchy [3] and sure enough while Chairman Hensarling took an early swing, Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy was the man to go toe-to-toe with Janet "I am the law" Yellen over the Fed's stunning ignorance of Congressional legal proceedings. "You did nothing," he begins, "you're so concerned about bringing the leaker to the forefront that what will you do? Nothing!" Yellen replies, reading from a seemingly prepared statement, The Fed has "clear rules" for leak investigations and Duffy cuts her off with a sharp upper cut, "That's true, you did not follow those rules.. if anyone is trying to sweep this under the rug, it is The Fed!" We suspect somewhere Pedro da Costa is smirking [4]...
Enjoy...
