Kevin Warsh is well above the bar on both substance and independence to be Chair of the Federal Reserve. The Senate should ask tough questions about his independence & President Trump should reduce the threat to it. Hopefully that will make it clear Warsh should be confirmed.

(Normally a President should not involve themselves in the Department of Justice but let it operate as an independent enforcement agency. In this case, however, it is clear that the investigation was, at a minimum, based on President Trump's desires and public statements.)

Warsh has a range of views that would not have led me to recommend a Democratic President nominate him as Federal Reserve Chair. I would be thrilled if he ends up conducting himself over the next four years in a way that would make a President of any party want to reappoint him.
