WASHINGTON POST: Trump said he would remove Cook immediately, citing unproven allegations of mortgage fraud. Cook said he had no power to fire her and that she would not resign.
Nice try, but any President is legally entitled to fire a Federal Reserve Official “for cause” (e.g., committing an illegal act).
When Lisa Cook claimed two homes as her one primary resident (in Michigan and Georgia respectively) she committed fraud.
Yes, it is “unproven” in a trial yet to be held, but proven enough to meet the “probable cause” standard necessary for all of the prosecutorial steps preceding said trial.
When you sign government forms falsely attesting to claims, that is when you’re providing evidence against yourself.
