And she was appointed after. And he at least was charged and found guilty. 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.

She said there is not cause to fire her.

Thank you for confirming that she hasnt denied the allegations yet. 

[jonnyutah 351]

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.

Lisa cook filed her lawsuit. Be shocked, it does not deny the allegations.

Easy choice this morning. She responds to Trump’s illegal firing by refusing to leave. She is helping to protect the integrity of our federal reserve, so vital to us as a nation. Three cheers. 

I am surprised people fall for your trolling.  But, they do.

They should charge her then.  She doesn’t need to deny the allegations to file the lawsuit, the question is can she be fired simply for an allegation made on social media.

Why do you believe that my thoughts on this matter are not genuine? They absolutely are. 

[The Real timschochet 7,031]

Though I’m no lawyer common sense tells me Cook should absolutely win this lawsuit. “Cause” HAS to mean something more than Trump’s suspicion of wrongdoing. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,578]

These women going at it with Trump are all so ugly. Especially Latisha. Fanny has a big old gunt and it looks like someone beat this Cook sheister with a bat.

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.

Yes it is.  I’m skeptical she actually satisfied the definition, but it is possible.

No it isn't. But then again, you think illegals are legal.

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]

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.

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.

If you think employers don't fire for cause when they find out someone did something unethical prior to being hired, especially when it's in the same field, I don't know what to tell you other than yes they do, but don't let that fact get in the way of your TDS.

They don’t know she did something unethical though, they just suspect it

That’s pretty much the crux of her argument.  I agree that if she’s guilty she should be fired, but they need to prove she actually did it

They already proved it. It happened. 

She is a fed governor. She is toast. 

She cant claim ignorance, because she is a fed governor. And houses arent like a gallon of milk. You dont just go pick one up at the store. So the two week time frame makes any legit scenario pretty much impossible since second property would have been in process when documents were signed in the first.
