If only you were that understanding of a FED secretary.

I am hearing from my political friends she was really bad DEI HIRE and there are all kinds of problems with her truthfulness that is causing her issues.

I like lily white but in lieu of perfect I will take BEST

She is far less than best

Letitia mortgage fraud
Schiff mortgage fraud
The congressional Devilcrat who attacked ICE employees
Cooks criminality

I sense a pattern that the party of slavery is inherently corrupt so they have to project themselves onto others in order to persuade weak minds to vote for their own destruction.

Democrats are ok with it.


This is funny fatty
Remember how Trump was convicted of lying about the prices of his homes so he could get more money out of them?
You were ok with that.

Now, im not ok with either person doing either thing. But to pretend like this is anything more than Trump trying to gain a majority on the Fed, and thus is all political is a joke.
But you see thats the problem, the fed aint supposed to be political, because a politician would always want to cut rates to make themselves look good in the short term, and that would devastate our economy in the long.

This is what a business does. Ask the highest price and negotiate when buying the lowest price. It's called capitalism.
I do it all the time along with tens of millions of businesspersons. If you don't you will NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AT A BUSINESS.

Not a Political Fed. Jerome Powell drops interest rates right before the Presidential Election without any economic news to point to doing that.

So the Fed was being used against Trump in the election by Powell. That says it all.

That's your interpretation of events. And its just your opinion, which seems to be based on very little other than a narrative that you want to uphold.
Also, Do you need me to use a bigger font size because so you can read it more easily? You do know that you can just increase the size on your end. Hope that helps.

well, applying simple logic here, if you were ok with the government going against trump for loan fraud, then you must be for the government going after cook for the same thing, fraud.


Now, I'm sure you're right about trump wanting control of fed, and I didn't/don't support firing cook with her having the opportunity to defend herself, but let's not overlook the basic fact that lisa cook apparently has lied on applications for mortgages in order to get a more favorable rate. And that's against the law. We can argue unfair, retribution, fed control, whatever we want, but in the end either she lied on the applications or she didn't.

Those on the right can bring up about Powell and his "favoritism" in cutting rates before the election. It's just not relevant here

CNBC had pulte on this morning and the interviewers kept coming back to all the factors you brought up, plus where did the tip come from, and to his credit Pulte kept coming back to the simple fact that it's against the law to falsify those documents. No matter how any of us try to rationalize this, it still comes back to same thing.

For the record, it was the state of NY that went after Trump for business fraud. Not the DOJ.

yea, I know, but that's a government. If I recall correctly the Biden DoJ didn't pursue the case. (I might be wrong about that, There have been so many cases filed against tump its hard to keep track)

The DOJ did not go after Trump because Garland and Biden knew the Federal Laws would not stick

NY bend the laws and broke and made up laws

All of the NY stuff will eventually be overturned or thrown out and retribution will come to those folks as Trump will sue them or have them convicted of a real law

Right now undercover investigators are searching their butts off on the people who were on those trials against Trump

If they are not perfectly pure they will have skeletons and Trump will find them and use those skeletons against them

What's incredibly sad is that you think all of this is ok. Totally cool for a president to use his power to hurt people who did their jobs.

And thats why I said im not in favor of either criminal act. So, we good?
Expanding on what you are saying: If she commits the crime and is fired for cause. Why can't Trump ever be fired for cause? I'm just saying this whole thing is about politics. Its not about justice, its not about whats the right and sensible thing to do about Federal Reserve governance. The motivation for Trump to have his DOJ dig up this stuff on his enemies, is he wants to stack the Fed, just like he's stacked the SCOTUS, to give himself more power.
I think thats kind of bad. People may disagree with what the Fed is doing, but those people may also be Real estate tycoons who don't have an understanding of macro economics. Trump is on a rampage of subverting the institutions with policitical power. He's politicized the DOJ and now he's going to politicize the economy. What happens after that is a mass exodus of foreign investment in this country.

absolutely we're good.

I'm one of those real estate "tycoons", but I do understand macro and micro econ...we'll I'm stretching the term tycoon - (i'm trying to sell a condo :). I remember from econ classes that historically house leads you into a recession and housing leads you out. Right now, I see possibilities of leading us in.....but I also see my grandchildren looking at buying homes and they simply can't afford it. The cost per thousand at 3% is $4.21 at 6% it's $6 -for 30 year mortgage....I'd like to see rates come down. Lower interest rates will help boost the economy in my opinion.

I don't like Trump firing cook just based on allegations. That's a slippery slope. And as I posted some time ago, he must know something we don't, because this was not a smart move

I personally doubt he actually knows more than us, he frankly doesn't have any history of such decision making. It's purely a grievance and a chance to gain an advantage on the Fed board.

Curious how many people in this thread still think someone who has multiple primary residence mortgages should be fired with cause.
I believe she should be fired.

Can you share examples of his support of their sins?

Starting with Lisa Cook

Dude I worked as a contract employee with the government for many years in nuclear and military with clearances and various accesses given me based on the perception and testing my honesty through examinations and people like Army Intelligence, The FBI , NCIS and some other people showing up in my town asking questions about me and doing soft document searches on my bank accounts , credit reports , SLED reports , talking to my preacher, my medical records, my places I visited like gun ranges and a hell of a lot more intrusive questions. Yep, sometimes they ask questions and if Failed to demonstrate honesty and civility my career was over. There were a few times I was put in a room asking did you cheat on your wife kind of questions and have you ever lied on financial records or on your tax returns. Yes, piles of crap that would have had me thrown out of my work. Do I feel sorry for her. NOT ONE DAM BIT. SHE MADE HER BED AND CRAPPED IN IT SO GET OVER IT.

Lisa Cook was asked questions and signed an affidavit. She is responsible for her own failure. Not the people enforcing the law.

Stop defending LOW GROUND if you know what the expression means.

I haven’t really had an issue with her being treated like everyone else would in her situation under the law.

My only pushback has been the disingenuousness of the MAGA reactions. There are multiple current cabinet members in the same situation as her. They’ve claimed multiple primary residences.

So either you think it’s a fireable offense. Or you admit you want her gone solely because Trump does, and this is an excuse.

naive position on my part, but, do we want or need someone who falsified info to gain advantageous mortgage rates as a member of the FED board?

I would venture a wild guess that folks on here who are anti trump will say yes and pro trump "no". We seem to make our decisions these days on where Trump stands as opposed to the rules of law, which based on the court rulings and overruling by higher courts, seems to be a moving target.

Personally, I don't care if she's fired or not. But this entire episode is more of a verdict on where you stand on Trump, IMO. First, I don't think he should have fired her before she's had her day in court. But, if she has 3 houses with mortgages, all designated as her primary residence, then she either lied when filling out the form or there's some explainable circumstance that she, so far, has decided not to explain. So here's the question. Do we enforce the laws or don't we? It's a fair question to ask why we don't enforce the laws 100% of the time. But can't we ask that about every law on the books? And, isn't that part of our problems today? We seem to be selective about laws we enforce and which citizens will be affected by enforcement.

For all those concerned about the politicization of the FED...isn't it already or hasn't it already been politicized? The governors are appointed by the president and approved by the Senate. Remember when Powell's term was up and suddenly, with numbers similar to today's, rates were reduced. Does anybody believe that the rate reduction, right before an election, was not made to both help Biden and assure Powell's reappointment? Too much of a coincidence for me.

You made the statement that multiple cabinet members had multiple primary or claimed multiple primary

Did not the media and Senate have the opportunity to seriously vet the candidates and vote on each

I personally have not heard of ONE having what you claim. There may be some so show me what I am ignorant of.

That being said please be aware The lady signed an affidavit under penalty of law that she had never broken any RULES.

She has and unfortunately for her she is sorry she was caught and not that she did it.

100% FIRE HER

I like as I said lily white from a professional background and also the personal backgrounds matter such as domestic violence, not paying the nanny social security , etc.

Some things in a background may be shady but legal is where I have to allow.

If you want to compare who supports the most EVIL, you'd lose going away.

If you want to make the world a better place and deal with EVIL in this world please look in the mirror and start with yourself.

Who used illegal warfare. They did NOT DO THEIR JOBS. They ignored the violence in NYC and went after a person using fabricated make believe laws that will eventually be tossed and those folks will become liable to lawsuits for persecution and not legal prosecution.
