The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

Watchdog finds no criminality in Fed renovation that drew Trump’s scrutiny
The Federal Reserve’s inspector general did fault the central bank’s board for mismanaging costs. The DOJ previously launched its own probe that was blocked by a federal judge.
