  • Powell was at the end of his appointment already, it’s a fixed term. He hadn’t been removed early. The president appoints the replacement. The investigation didn’t do accomplish anything.

    Its actual goal was probably to pressure Powell and the Board of Governors into setting rates that Trump liked. That also was not accomplished. In fact, it failed so epically that it looped back around and was preventing Trump from getting Powell’s nominated replacement approved.

    You’re right about the investigation not starting back once Powell is gone though, but because pressuring him won’t help pressure the Fed chairman because the Fed chairman will already be a Trump stooge.













  • You’re misunderstanding what end-to-end encryption is. If they have a copy of your private key, it’s still end to end encrypted. The alternative would be akin to a TLS termination proxy, where your device would encrypt a message using Facebooks public key, they decrypt message, store it, and then Facebook uses your chat partners public key to encrypt and send to them. You cannot send an encrypted message straight through to your chat partner.

    What I’m insinuating is that there’s no way to know if Facebook has a copy of your private key. The message is still end-to-end encrypted, it is encrypted by you using your chat partners public key, and passes through all of Facebooks infrastructure encrypted, until your chat partner receives and decrypts it. If Facebook stores the message, it’s stored encrypted. They can just decrypt it when subpoenaed or whenever they want bc they have the required private key.
