As Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook prepares for a high-stakes legal clash with President Trump — where the future of the central bank’s independence is potentially at risk — her allies see echoes of the grueling Senate confirmation hearing three years ago.

Trump is the prime example of a puny little butthurt jealous man of the only Black President and that ever won a Nobel Peace Prize. Being a racist avenged narcissist twerp that he is has set out to get revenge on all of USA for trying to impeach and imprison him for crimes. And illegally profiting.

‼️😡 Trump has staged another political massacre - cultural policy within the framework of the law is disappearing completely. ‼️💩 The emperor named Trump is stepping on the throat of democracy with his shit-stained boot... ‼️💩 The Republicans themselves will then live in a society stinking of shit.

I expect no more from you folks by now, but in passing, framing it as Cook's war with Trump rather than Trump's war with Cook is blatant victim blaming.

How does any article that mentions Trump’s accusations and justification for her dismissal NOT ALSO remind the readers that Trump was convicted of substantially the exact same thing in NY. And while the penalty was thrown out on appeal, the conviction was not.

This article reminds me of a question: How long can the Fed maintain its independence amidst this political scramble? Lisa Cook's persistence is truly admirable, but do you think she can withstand this high-pressure game?

which papers? be specific in our system people are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. you are saying she should be presumed guilty even before being charged

Perhaps you could be specific and tell me where she has denied it. Would be the first thing you would do, isn't it?

Corey Bowers @cbowers.bsky.social

I haven't claimed that she denied it And, no, it wouldn't be the first thing I did. Absent a criminal charge, I'd stfu(because every day is stfu Friday). I'd also speak to my lawyer before saying or doing anything. She's being quite smart about this, being reactive is a poor choice

nope, they have not shown that. both the criminal referral and Trump's letter also make no reference to the application. still, if she's being accused of a crime it is on the govt to prove the matter in a court of law

Every major bank in US and the majority owners of the Federal reserve have plead guilty to laundering trillions for cartels. Now that cartels are terrorists this means The Federal reserve is a terrorists org. Not one banker has ever been sent to prison. Do you think they stopped?

Let's remember the Federal reserve is a private corporation with some government oversight. Its 1 of only 7 private central banks and only one that only allows banks as owners

Im sorry but what the fuck is that framing? “Cook’s war with Trump?” Trump launched these broadside unprovoked against her because she is (1) black, (2) a woman, and (3) appointed by Biden. Like, I get you love Trump and want him to rule us like a king, but fuck you.
