Whaaaaaaat....???
If you want your views to be represented, then maybe you should take them to the protest and represent them. Why would you expect someone else to go represent your issues for you.

So who is going to sift the names of the guilty from all this?
They fall under the same conflict of interest guidelines as federal employees so they should be charged and face trial.
WASHINGTON — A congressional audit of the Federal Reserve's 12 regional banks looks set to land this week with a whimper instead of a bang as energies and sympathies on Capitol Hill have shifted since the financial crisis that spawned the inquiry.

They were issued waivers exempting them from prosecution under those guidelines, if I am reading this correctly.

I have a better idea what they could have done with $16 trillion if they absolutely had to print and spend it at 0% interest rate.
$16,000,000,000,000 as a direct check divided up between the 308,745,538 Americans would equal $51,822.61 for every single American. 27.3% of the population is under 20 years of age so if we take that out of the population and just use the population 20+ in age that would be $71,282.82 per adult. People could have kept their homes, invested in savings, encourage entrepreneurship, and saved themselves from poverty. Or we could have eliminated the $14 some trillion national debt we currently have.
Nice job FED, let the American people become homeless and give all that money to other banks for free.

I don't care about Sanders or Paul, to be perfectly honest.
But here is a link to the GAO report, and the numbers are all in there.

I've been preaching that since this whole thing started.

How about an audit of Fort Knox? How much gold is left in reserve?
Among the investigation's key findings is that the Fed unilaterally provided trillions of dollars in financial assistance to foreign banks and corporations from South Korea to Scotland, according to the GAO report. "No agency of the United States government should be allowed to bailout a foreign bank or corporation without the direct approval of Congress and the president," Sanders said.

I'm sure if someone were to even manage to break in there to try and heist it all, they would find it to be very empty except for the cobwebs dangling from the ceiling...
