“The Fed” here means Powell. Jerome Powell is the person deciding whether the Federal Reserve as an institution will support one of its members. Let the historical record reflect that Powell stayed “neutral” in the face of fascism.

I’m not being unfair here. The lawyer who wrote this brief is without a doubt taking his orders from Powell. Powell told the lawyer “i dont want us to argue in favor of Cook.”

That’s not been my experience as agency counsel. DOJ did whatever they wanted and often ignored our edits, even on things we marked as inconsistent with prior agency representations. Maybe it’s different with the fed, but I highly doubt JP got involved here. More likely a DOJ zealot than JP.

DOJ is not representing the Fed—they are representing the President in this matter

It appears DOJ is representing the Fed, but you're right that response is signed by Fed GC, not DOJ.

Maybe this is because the Defendant has not yet responded? I assume this is going to change soon bsky.app/profile/orga...

I stand corrected—but that is a crazy conflict of interest. I’m not sure that is going to last. The DOJ cannot be on multiple sides of a case
