Criminalizing a spat over interest rates is an Argentina-level mistake.
Agitators within the Trump Administration for weeks have flogged a Federal Reserve office renovation as a pretext to harass Chairman Jerome Powell. Now comes the lawfare, with a criminal perjury referral against Mr. Powell to the Department of Justice from a Member of Congress. How low can this crowd go?
The complaint in MAGA quarters is that the multiyear renovation of several office buildings in the Fed’s Washington, D.C., campus is running way over budget—the cost is said to total some $2.5 billion now, up from a $1.9 billion estimate when the refurbishment started.
