A second criminal referral was filed against Lisa Cook on Thursday, alleging the embattled Federal Reserve Board governor may have made “misrepresentations” on mortgage documents and government disclosures. The complaint to the Justice Department was lodged by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who was the source of the initial criminal referral that President Trump is using to attempt to fire Cook “for cause.” “3 strikes and you’re out. Today, US Federal Housing sent a 2nd Criminal Referral in the matter of Lisa D. Cook, related to a mortgage on a 3rd property and alleged misrepresentations about her properties

Alinsky rules for radicals, accuse them of what you're guilty of. I wonder if there are any blue people not guilty of mortgage fraud. It seems to be their thing. All of them should be checked for mortgage fraud.

She's got a losing hand here; but this may backfire on the GOP by prosecuting Dems for things the Average American can relate to. Most househunters have had to stretch one truth or cut one corner in pursuit of mortgage qualification, and the left wing news spins most of the violations as technicalities. Now it looks like we're the ones weaponizing government against the other side. A little due caution is called for.

CNN or MSNBC found a sleazy lawyer willing to come on air to defend Cook, saying any fraud should be intentional, and there was no real case. Really? Cook says "mislabelled", a sidestep from the correct "misrepresented". A loan applicant does not label a loan document. They sign a loan document that applies to the type of loan they are applying for, along with a representation that everything have have said is true and correct, under penalties of perjury, and notarization. A financial institution can void any loan that is fraudulently obtained, or there are "misrepresentations". This second criminal referral shows a pattern, which is often the basis of showing fraudulent intent, which I do not believe is necessary in this case, despite the left's lawyer, who figuratively had black teeth from all the lies that have passed through them.

I don't know her educational background but if she was some junior listed serviceman who made a "clerical error" on their VA home mortgage application - ah ... he/she would be facing serious consequences. No one would accept a "clerical error" as their excuse, but some overpaid (and overweight) black woman Federal Reserve governor - and she's suppose to get a pass? I see her recently retained attorneys are no other than Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell.

Way too many of these DEI hires start to believe the phony stories about them being "special" and think that since none of the rules about getting ahead via hard work and merit apply to them, then the laws about fraud and theft don't apply to them either. Seems like pretty much ALL of them have been found to have been doing a lot of mortgage fraud. It's a common theme running through their group. Check them out.....lied on their mortgage documents. We need to just put down "examine mortgage documents" as the standard background check for all these black troublemaker types. They plant the seeds of their own demise.

Trump will win the court case on her firing because of the Spicer case rulings by an appeals court is precedent. But it will be difficult to get a conviction if the case is tried in DC or NY because a carefully selected black Democrat jury will not convict her / enforce the law.

The old saw about accusing your enemy of doing what you do was in full play during the Lucricia James persecution of then-former President Trump. In their depravity they assumed everyone cheated on their mortgages, so Trump must have done the same. It also explains their intimate knowledge of rigging elections and how to charge The Donald down in Georgia, and their sloppy handling of classified documents was assumed to have also been done by the 45th President. A great cover story for the FBI raid on a former president's home. Too bad for them they overplayed their hand. The 47th President knows where to find the real evidence, and Justice is on the agenda. MAGA! Whether the dims like it or not!

In the days following the 9/11 terror attacks on New York City's World Trade Center, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, due to his diligence and first-hand management of the crisis, became known for a time as "America's Mayor." We should also note that his crime policies made New York, during his tenure, one of America's safest major cities. America's Mayor is now 81, and still active. But Saturday night, in New Hampshire, after aiding a female victim of a domestic assault who flagged down Mr. Giuliani's auto, Mayor Giuliani was seriously injured in what authorities are calling a "freak accident."

Given that the Sunshine State is ruby red, I’m confident that whoever is the Republican nominee can fend off David Jolly, a Republican-turned-Democrat whose mind got broken by the Trump presidency. It’s too early, but as of now, it looks like Donalds could be in a duel with Casey DeSantis, the current First Lady of Florida, though she hasn’t officially announced yet. We’ll get to that later.
