She had never been charged with anything and denies any wrongdoing. Shouldn’t she have to at least be charged and found guilty of a crime before being removed for cause? Does Rashee Rice have more rights than Lisa Cook? Different rules for elected vs non elected. Surprised you didnt know that She has not denied it, btw. The most pesky detail of this whole thing.

jonnyutah 350 Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM Cook's team is likely going to present an argument that the understanding of "for cause" is wrongdoing while serving. Trumps team will likely argue that since she is a fed governor, discovery of any mortgage malfeasance is cause. Once the filings come out we will see, but IMO if she was going to deny it, she would have already done so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what you mean. People get fired for cause all the time without being criminally prosecuted. When she sues and Trump goes in to court with her mortgage documents which clearly indicate her claiming principal residence on two different mortgage applications within a very short period of time, which is obviously not possible, that's cause. it's especially cause considering her position. She can't claim ignorance or some such thing or that alone would be considered cause, due to incompetence in her field. Either way cause will be easy to prove for this administration.

Usually being fired for cause is due to a dereliction of duty during the course of employment. These mortgages were acquired prior to her employment. Trump needs to prove that these mortgage applications prior to her position now cause her to be derelict in her duty as governor. Will not be easy like you say.

Ron_Artest 1,724 Posted 32 minutes ago The other angle here is that she was targeted. It isn't like the govt did an audit of mortgage applications and found this. They targeted governors that they want to remove so they could have political influence over the fed, and they dove into her records to find something to fire her. There could be laws against this as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incredible people are defending her This one seems like even more of a stretch. “Second homes” can legally be rented out. They keep referring to random forms she filled out for the government during the course of her work but we don’t know if those forms have different options than the mortgage forms.
