Mortgage fraud is the "cause." Coming from the guy who can no longer operate a charity because they defrauded their own is about white.

I hope the Federal Court backs her and stops Trump from running roughshod over all our barrier’s protections.

Wait until the discovery process begins....it will be interesting to see how Cook's mortgage app was selected for review....I predict this case will never be heard.

If the court can upend a 50 year precedent, then they can upend their stupid decision to let him be a dictator! (Which in itself, is unconstitutional). Anything it seems, is possible with the Roberts court!

Shame. "Fired Fed board member sues Trump to try to keep her job." No, she isn't "fired." She might be, but she isn't. Not yet. Just because Trump said so doesn't make it true. He isn't the Fed's hiring manager. (Not yet). "The board member Trump is trying to fire sues Trump to prevent it."

Some predictions. She will get a stay on his order, and then SCOTUS will get rid of the stay on the technicality that she doesn't have standing to sue. SCOTUS will rule in 3 years that Trump didn't have the authority to fire her.

That Don Trump is willing to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook “for cause” when anything that could possibly constitute cause has not been identified or proven is . . . well, typical. That is, typical for a pathological narcissist that proudly aspires to be a dictator. Hey, just sayin’ . . .

She isn’t fired yet. Precisely because the move is, in fact, illegal and void. The statements from the Fed itself confirm this. Fix your headline or just admit you’re part of the fascists, @politico.com 🖕
