However, he could resign. Maybe Powell is on Epstein's list or better yet, maybe he's on Epstein's videos that somebody has taken from Epstein's his vault and deep 6'd.

Whoever has those videos owns a treasure. We'll never know how many of our government officials and corporate magnates are compromised.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You really believe that the list an the stuff the FBI took out of his safe was a nothingburger?
Surely you jest.
Whether that is ever made public is another story.

I really wish he would shut his yap, where monetary policy is concerned.  Foreigners are going to lose confidence in the dollar.
