Is there no bottom to the depth of Cook's mortgage fraud?

===============================================

(Update: 2215ET): A third property?

"On Thursday night, Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte dropped a second criminal referral against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook based on evidence that she entered into a 15-year mortgage on a third property which she listed as her "Second Home."



On an ethics form signed with the government, however, Cook noted it as an "investment/rental property."

Why is this bad and not simply a 'clerical error'?
As Pulte notes, "Representing the property as a second home may have allowed Cook to secure a lower “Second Home” mortgage down payment and rates, as investment properties typically carry higher down payments and higher rates due to increased risk.""

 
Smeller's always the feller with the democrats, lol.
 

Flaming stupid lies . Nothing more. The accusations are total lies and a scam. This is a power grab of an authoritarian liar.
 
Gosh!!!
- Didn't the banks get paid?
- Surely the banks did their own checks?
- Their was no victim!
- No one got hurt!
- It's common practice. Everyone does it!
- It was just a clerical error of no consequence!

Why did these Trump excuses for mortgage fraud get accepted by the maga cult when Trump was charged, but are now no longer valid for anyone else?
 
In order to be MAGA, you must be incapable of detecting hypocrisy in yourself and other MAGA.
 

Did you think it was a little odd that people who don't prostrate themselves for the King have been accused of mortgage fraud? Is that because Trump haters always commit mortgage fraud OR is it a stupid lie meant to steal control from our national institutions?

Why do trump resisters commit mortgage fraud, or is this just a total BS scam on you and I?

Much the same could be said by those who are ticketed and fined for traffic law violations.
 
Why should we trust this Pulte fellow?

If he works for Trump, chances are he is dishonest. That is one of the requirements to work for Trump.
 
She should get no worse than the financial fraud that wants her investigated if she is convicted, riiiiight?
 
I will wait to see if this is a real scandal or some doctored up thing.

How would we ever really know? It’s not like the legal system in this country is reliable or anything at this point. It’s packed with Trump judges- all the way up to SCOTUS. We live in a banana republic.

Viva generalissimo Trump!
 
I was honestly not aware that personal mortgage documents could be seized without a warrant.
 
Can a second home not be used as a rental/income property?

It’s actually rather common here in NJ?

You buy a “shore house”. You utilize it when you want and can - and you VRBO it out when you won’t be utilizing it



You don’t purchase it with the intent of utilizing it as a rental or revenue stream. You buy it as a second house. But then you have a 2nd house you aren’t using…and why not let it make you some money.
 
Hypocrites, that is all MAGA are

You mean like you libs are defending this millionaire with three homes defrauding the system.

No, you libs wanted the book thrown at Trump but want this woman given a pass. Thats the hypocrisy here.
 
They are aware. It is a perverse game.
They are aware they are screwing themselves over? That's news to me. I mean, that's some heretofore unseen stupidity, because they will suffer along with everyone else. That is what hatred does to people, and no one has ever hated more than MAGA in this country. But, have you seen Alabamans are now heckling at town hall meetings?

What has she done that’s been shown to actually be illegal?

Got something?

No. Nothing has been proven and I believe that Trump is using these referrals as an opportunity to stack the FED in his favor. But if there is an innocent explanation, she should probably come out and explain it.

Seems like she’s smart enough to go the lawyer up route and take it to the courts

Maybe. But if it was just a clerical error of some sort, I dont see why she couldn't just say that or say it through her lawyerand end the controversy.
