End of Fed Independence!...

The Trump team wasted no time in telling Fed Chair Janet Yellen what is and is not acceptable. 

Patrick McHenry, the vice chairman of the House financial services committee, sent Yellen a letter of admonishment regarding international negotiations the Fed conducts in secret, with no oversight.

One line stands out: "This is unacceptable". The preceding paragraph tears into the Fed's secret negotiations with foreign bureaucrats, "without transparency, accountability, or the authority to do so."

McHenry Warns Yellen – Letter Excerpts

"I am writing regarding the Federal Reserve's continued participation in international forums on financial regulation. Despite the clear message delivered by President Donald Trump in prioritizing America's interest in international negotiations, it appears that the Federal Reserve continues negotiating international regulatory standards for financial institutions among global bureaucrats in foreign lands without transparency, accountability, or the authority to do so."
