US Federal Judge James Boasberg ruled that the Department of Justice's investigation into Federal Reserve cost overruns was politically motivated. Judge Boasberg blocked DOJ subpoenas. He found a mountain of evidence that the investigation's purpose was to pressure Fed Chair Jerome Powell into cutting interest rates or resigning. The judge wrote that the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime. The subpoenas were issued for an improper purpose. This is Bitcoin's origin story playing out in real time. Central bank independence is under direct attack. The principle that monetary policy should be free from political manipulation is being tested. When politicians control the money printer, they print for short-term political gain. This causes inflation. Bitcoin was created as a response to exactly this problem. When the Federal Reserve is being pressured by politicians, the case for neutral rules-based money grows stronger.
