Trump removes Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from office, citing fraud allegations

[Marener]

Before an extremely nonobjective judge. If you think all judges are the same level of objective, you're really, really stupid.


And admitting that everyone does it is not a reason to suspect fraud? She can start with Kevin.

The reason is obvious. Letitia campaigned on getting Trump for something. Letiticia doesn't give a rats ass if anyone else did what Trump did.

She was after Trump, not a crime.


Ask Mr. Pulte. Again, her position dictates honesty in her own mortgages.


Bullshit!!! You are so freaking dishonest. "Democrats" does not equal "Lisa Cook".

And now you're on ignore.

God, all you do is whine and demand but never reciprocate.

******* entitled asshole.

 

[Care4all]

Isn't CAUSE defined in the agreement, malfeasance done in her job, while serving??

Also, past adjudicated mortgage fraud by Trump, did not stop him from being the President of the United States? Nor is reason to impeach him from office???

Are we supposed to think MAGA represents some kind of maturity? We’ve never had anyone behave so childishly in the White House.

What I am saying is that actual biological 15-year olds have been leaning towards the left for decades. The Democratic platform and policies appeal to the least wise people in the US, and the world. It isn’t a knock on them. They are kids. We were all kids at one time. Some of these wise up and change their ways and they gain real world experience and knowledge. Some don’t. I would argue that those that don’t remain Democrats. Even as adults, they continue to believe in policies that sound good and make them feel good(Socialism), but don’t work in practice.

The fish rots from the head. Trump sets the tone and MAGA follows. Everyone? No. Probably not. I haven’t talked to every MAGA. But in my experience it’s exceedingly common.

Maybe that explains the rot of the Democratic constituency that essentially worship the Democratic Party and their platform. Even Supreme Court justices rarely, if ever, break rank. Democrats in Congress are all lemmings. Manchin is the only one I can recall in recent history that bucked his party. Most Democrats I have ever spoken to about politics are quick to anger when policy debates are presented. They really don’t have a leg to stand on so they rage. Making a point that challenges their indoctrination is rarely accepted, no matter how factual it may be. They have faith in what they have been told(indoctrination). Challenges to ones faith is generally met with fervent opposition.

Maybe if Trump wouldn’t spend so much time trolling people to intentionally piss them off, it wouldn’t seem like we disagree with him so much.

It doesn’t “seem like” you disagree with so much. TDS sufferers do disagree with him nearly all the time. If he proposes it, it has to be wrong. If he does it, it has to be illegal, un-Constitutional or authoritarian, et al. That is their mindset.

For example, when Trump asked Zelensky to do him a “favor”(the quid), without asking for anything in return, that was a quid pro quo, despite nothing being asked in return(pro quo). When Biden revealed to the world that he told Ukraine that if they didn’t fire the special prosecutor investigating the business on which Hunter was on the board(the quid), they wouldn’t get the funding from the US(the pro quo), that was not a quid pro quo.

"Cause" will be defined/reviewed by the court. It generally refers to any illegal or unethical behavior.

Voters recognized that "lawfare" against Trump will be overturned on appeal.

Your "adjudicated" nonsense is INVALID.
Your SOVIET LAWFARE FELONIES mean NOTHING.
You're predicating your points based on BULLFEATHERS.

I'm sure you're out there doing surveys of 15 year olds. Even if you're right, perhaps they just see that the Republican platform focuses on short term benefits for their aging voter base while selling out the future generations. Young people have a lot of rational reasons to favor a party that wants to deal with climate change, invest in education and infrastructure and preserve the stability of entitlements.

Have you seen the approval of the Democratic Party? It's terrible primarily because the Democratic constituency is pissed that the party is ineffective. You're just saying stuff.

Challenging a Trump supporter with a debate typically leads to them labeling you has having "TDS" for the very reasons your suggest. I see a lot of projection here.

If all you knew about was the phone call, this might seem logical to you. The problem is the investigation revealed far more than the phone call. Right wing media captures it's audience so thoroughly that Trump supporters didn't know. Or maybe they don't really want to know. Intentional ignorance is a thing.

Perhaps you weren't aware, but Trump also stopped aide from flowing into Ukraine at nearly the exact same time, for reasons that shifted depending on which day you talked to Trump.

You don't have to be a genius to connect the two.

Add on top of that the efforts of Giuliani and the State Dept to cajole an investigation into Biden by offering a visit to the White House if he were to do so.

As Mulvaney said, a quid pro quo is part of foreign policy and we all acknowledge that. When Biden demanded the dismissal of Shokin, that was widely reported at the time and no one had a problem with it. In fact, it was lauded by many because Shokin was widely known to be corrupt and wasting US taxpayer money. It was certainly a quid pro quo, but was done in the interest of the United States.

Trump's attempt to get Ukraine to smear Biden was not done in the interests of the United States but in the interest of his reelection.

In other words, you think they are well informed and wiser than at least 1/2 of the US adult population. You would be wrong. That has never been the case anywhere in the world at any time during human existence. You are simply trying to run cover for the Democatic Party’s ideas, which are largely rooted in emotional reasoning and void of any practical grounding…exactly like children think.

Wow, that is a lot of spin.

It was in the interest of the US to investigate corruption of a former VP who was running for President. Seriously, we all know that that was not on the up and up. It is common sense really, but being anti-Trump and pro-Biden, you can’t see it. the optics have having Hunter on their board to gain favor with the US were very, very bad. An investigation was absolutely warranted.

Sorry that I don't automatically equate old people with wisdom. In fact, I'm starting to believe there's a negative correlation. It's less about wisdom than it is about competing interests. I don't think the Republican platform which seeks to screw over younger generations is very wise, but it sure is good for the voting base.

This is all a very pathetic argument. You're not really arguing against a platform, you're just arguing that it is bad because young people like it. That's weak because you're not even trying to arguing for or against the wisdom of any policy, you're just using a surrogate. We could say white supremacists like Trump's immigration policy. White supremacists are bad so does that make his policy bad? That would be a lazy argument, devoid of practical grounding and entirely emotional.

If there was actually an interest to investigate Biden, then why was Trump doing this on his own with his requests with Zelensky and holding up foreign aid? This was all done in a way to keep it as off the books as possible, specifically excluding the DoJ who had no part in any of this. The attempt to cover it up reveals it's not appropriate.

We know now that the information being laundered through Giuliani came from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch who was intent on currying favor with Trump.

So can a governor be removed for getting a parking ticket?

How about it, creepitis
Ran from another of your idiotic cry baby posts, didnt you

What the **** are you babbling about?

The irony of this coming from a tRumpling is EPIC.

Only if the court says so.

 

[Crepitus]

Trump is trying to save America. We shouldn't let judges stand in his way.

The same way hitler "saved" Germany.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

They asked Trump what his net worth was and his answer was filled with lies.

That’s what fraud is. That’s the definition of fraud.

No, the loan isn’t the same, but the law is.

Trump is Phelonious47.

Not at all. Republicans, including those that support Trump, are generally pragmatic. Democrats operate on an idealistic theoretical plane, just like children. This is no secret.

 

[Dragonlady]

Good! The statute seems to give him this authority.

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.

​

President Donald Trump ousted Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday, alleging she lied on mortgage forms by declaring two primary residences.​

​

In a letter to Cook, Trump said the Federal Reserve Act provides that she can be removed at his discretion.​

​

"As set forth in the Criminal Referral dated August 15, 2025, from Mr. William J. Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to Ms. Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States…there is sufficient reason to believe you may have made false statements on one or more mortgage agreements," Trump wrote. "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."​

Unless she is charged or convicted of a crime, he doesn't have the authority to fire her because of something he made up.

That's not even remotely close to true and you know it.

So far it hasn't been overturned....the money owed on one case against him has been denied or revoked for being too high, but that is being appealed too....even on that case the charges and conviction... or maybe it was a civil case? so liability was not revoked...just the penalty amount.

If Cook has no explanation and reason or defense for doing such, and she actually is guilty, and since it did involve banking...which is related to her position and job in an abstract way, she should probably resign...imo

But many things are unknown in this case and all of these Trump cronie accusations should have been kept under raps by the admin, and allowed her to show and prove it to be false...if not.... then make an announcement she is being replaced.

This unprofessional, govt chaos induced, vindictive shit, and bullying intimidation, HAS GOT TO STOP!

What adjudications for mortgage fraud?

And you dot think a banker defrauding banks is malfeasance?
