Both fail to use the honorific *Dr. Lisa Cook (PhD, UC Berkeley). That can undermine her legitimacy. Ironically the firing letter does use it.

Certainly shows the weakness of the Washington Post. Democracy Docket got the headline right. The “firing” of Lisa Cook by Trump is unconstitutional and based purely on bogus info. Combine that with the socialistic 10% takeover of Intel and you can see dangerous incompetence of the Presidency.

Actually in this case, the Post is correct. He has not fired, he has moved to fire. He is attempting to fire her based on allegations, not convictions. One would hope that a court would not allow this. Otherwise you could just allege, fire, repeat...
