Fed firings seem to be incredibly hard to do. I can only think his hands were tied. The last line, about keeping them around because they're like a bad habit just does not ring true, considering the context of the two frauds.

But, looking back at how hard even his cabinet fought him, I'm not surprised.

We need to stop making excuses for him in this regard. Trump fucked up by keeping so many bad actors aboard. Even if he couldn’t replace them with better people he should have at least tried.

He did try. Were you even paying attention? All of his choices were either rejected by the Senate or bullied into withdrawing their nominations. (or accepted, those are the ones you are complaining about)

How easy do you think it is to appoint people when they all have to be approved by the swamp?

Who did he choose before Wray and Barr that were rejected?
