Ken Paxton did the exact same thing. Is he above the law?
Well I was incorrect that Lisa has been indicted. But the documents do definitely indicate mortgage fraud. Whether she will be indicted is anybody's guess but I would guess myself that the Administration won't bother.

Do you think Ken Paxton is going to face charges? I don't.
The Trump administration is ridding the country of swamp creatures who should not be in the government. I suspect they'll use anything legally they have to use to do that. And they should.
Why do you consider Lisa Cook to be a "swamp creature who should not be in the government"?

More importantly, the Federal Reserve is part of which branch? It certainly isn't its own branch, as the Constitution has not been amended.
Here we go! Fasten your seatbelts.

"For example, as detailed in the Criminal Referral, you signed one document attesting that a property in Michigan would be your primary residence for the next year."Two weeks later, you signed another document for a property in Georgia stating that it would be your primary residence for the next year," Trump continued. "It is inconceivable that you were not aware of your first commitment when making the second. It is impossible that you intended to honor both."...

It's very relevant. The fact is that these violations are almost never prosecuted and it's no coincidence it's being pursued against Cook, whom has drawn the ire of the Trump administration.
Your whataboutism is completely irrelevant to the facts presented in response to your intentional falsehood.
When it comes to demonstrating political persecution, it helps to compare disparate treatment amongst people with different political affiliations. In this case, Ken Paxton and Lisa Cook.
Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence
The Texas attorney general is running in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate, and in the middle of a divorce from his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton.
Paxton's crimes are even worse, if we are being honest.
Even worse that Lisa Cook. Ken Paxton claimed THREE mortgages as primary and took a homestead tax credit on two of them.
Your whataboutism is completely irrelevant to the facts presented in response to your intentional falsehood.
