    breaking news from Reuters,

    Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,”
    documents show



    A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor
    was issued to Cook by her credit union in the weeks before she completed the purchase and shows that

    The document appears to undercut / counter the convenient lies by team Trump, parroted by Traitor George



    Lisa Cook should consider suing team Trump, jointly & severally, for libel​

    That's a loan estimate. Not really proof of anything.

    The crime would be lying on your actual executed loan, to the government, etc.

    A "loan estimate" isn't binding towards anything, like an insurance quote, etc.

    by itself, it was just an estimate for a mortage for second home

    when you factor in surrounding circumstances at that time, which https://www.realtor.com/news/trends...ons/?msockid=048dc9c6e672640b15d5dd7ae7e065bf has, it corrborates the counter narrative to Trump 2.0's claim.



    Pulte, Trump 2.0's head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency alleged Cook
    made the misrepresentations to secure more favorable loan terms.

    Banks often charge higher interest rates for investment properties than for primary residences.

    Documents she filed with the federal Office of Government Ethics show that Cook was already drawing rental income from the property by December 2021, some five months after the mortgage was made. It is possible Cook mostly used the Atlanta home as her second residence while also renting it out short term. As of her most recent ethics disclosure, Cook earns more than $50,000 a year in rental income from the condo.

    Cook purchased the Ann Arbor home in 2005 for $310,000. In June 2021, she took out a 15-year mortgage of $203,000 on the home from the University of Michigan Credit Union, at an interest rate of about 2.9%, which was near the national avg rate at the time

    weeks later in 2021,, Cook purchased a condominium above the Four Seasons hotel in Atlanta, paying $602,000. She obtained a 30-year mortgage from Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union in the amount of $540,000. The interest rate was 3.25%, somewhat higher than the national average rate at the time.​

    more corroborating evidence that counters team Trump's claim

    A loan summary from the Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union in May 2021 reads: “Property Use: Vacation Home.” Additionally, public records in Fulton County, Georgia, show that no tax exemptions available for a primary residence were sought by Cook.

    A second document “questionnaire for national security positions," which was submitted to the US Senate for her confirmation, lists a question that reads:
    Cook responded by writing “2nd home” followed by the address of the Atlanta property.​

    Pulte refuses to say where he got Lisa Cook mortgage fraud ‘tip’
    [​IMG]

    Since revealing his allegations, he has sent dozens of social media posts criticizing both Cook and Powell,
    whom Pulte argues should also be fired by Trump.

    And when a TV anchor asked if Pulte was also looking at Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas who has
    reportedly claimed three properties as his primary residence, Pulte said he would not comment.

    Appeals court rejects Trump bid (for emergency relief)
    to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook


    The court ruled that she will stay in her position as she litigates her dispute with the president. Trump is likely to seek aid
    from the Supreme Court, but it's unlikely a ruling will be made before the (Fed) meeting begins on Tuesday.

    "Given that Cook has a property interest in her position, she is entitled to 'some kind' of process before removal,"
    the judge wrote.

    "Before this court, the government does not dispute that it provided Cook no meaningful notice or opportunity
    to respond to the allegations against her. The government argues only that Cook 'does not explain what difference
    a hearing would have made.' Even accepting that premise, Cook's entitlement to process stands apart from whether
    she would succeed in securing a different outcome."

    UAE Chips Deal Linked to $2B Investment in Trump Family Cryptocurrency Firm


    [​IMG]

    Back in May, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan invested $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency startup run by the Trump and Witkoff families — Steve Witkoff is President Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East.

    Two weeks later, the Trump administration approved the sale of hundreds of thousands of AI chips to the Emiratis, despite concerns that the chips could be shared with China.​

    Lmao dont forget the worst of the worst trolls on CF @Os Trigonum @StupidMoniker @Salvy spent the past 4 years claiming Hunter biden was the biggest corruption story in modern history even though they could never point to anything Joe ever did for hunter.

    Now we have the actual president selling previously banned AI chips to UAE in exchange for a 2 billion dollar bribe into his crypto. None of those clowns have said a peep about actual corruption

    Until conservatives hold Ken Paxton accountable for his mortgage fraud, this is 100% acceptable.

    Lisa Cook is no more a crook than any one in the Trump admin. In fact, her "crime" is a fraction of what has been done by Republicans.

    Only reason she is being attacked is so Trump can lower interest rates and make money, while creating mass inflation for everyone else. Don't be stupid, support your own interests for once (unless you have a ton of gold or heavily invested in oil)

    What's the conspiracy? You trolls @Os Trigonum spent the past 4 years peddling braindead corruption conspiracies about Hunter but suddenly the actual president is selling out our national for a dollar and you clowns pretend it's not happening.

    This isnt a conspiracy. Trump allowed the sale of previously banned chips to UAE in exchange for a 2 dollar billion investment in his crypto fund he has access too



    This is why I rightfully call @Os Trigonum a braindead hack cuz he is . He never actually cared corruption and neither did you
