Criminal investigations in this administration are just a means of pressure and harassment, they have zero bearing on any suspicion of criminal activity. I predict that within a few days Powell will be the recipient of death threats. That's the second part of the pattern.
This administration has not been operating the DoJ in good faith. One only has to look at the buffoonish attempts to push through charges on Comey, James and other political opponents to see that.
Treating the investigation in good faith is not being neutral or unbiased. Expecting more of the same is.
Because it is very clear to most people - you excepted, apparently - that this is not a normal case but one that is solely predicated on putting pressure on someone who is not acting on Donald Trump's whim but based on their job description. If Powell would have reduced the interest rates further this would have never happened.
The DOJ is now weaponized as a political tool, rather than that it is used for its real purpose. If you refuse to see this that's on you, not even on Donald Trump. The FED is independent for a reason, you are seeing that mechanism in action and so far no US president has every made a move like this.
