"Judge Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge for 34 counts of falsifying business records.

“At this time I impose that sentence to cover all 34 counts," he said.

Merchan said he wishes Trump godspeed for his second term in office. "

Maybe the judge was the problem....

I once said Alvin bragg and Jack smith were Trump chief campaigners...they helped him greatly get re-elected...

{quote} Nice double standard here. It's fine for DT to commit fraud, get convicted and become POTUS but Cook is guilty because she hasn't expressed to press and her accusers that she is innocent. She needs to prove her innoncense to court of law if needed instead of a mob who want to lynch her because of her race and gender.
...
Cook - hired by Biden , fired by Trump...
Trump - hired by the electorate, fired by ...the electorate...

One is supposed to be a politician ,another is supposed to be an economist...very easy to differentiate..

I think the most telling thing about this is she still hasn’t said “I’m innocent” she just keeps saying she can’t be fired. Time to test that theory!

It will unleash Trump's fury. If she really committed fraud, this will have a worse impact on her, and the following blow will bury her even more on a social and political level. She should only defend herself and prove that she didn't do it. If so, I see Cook in a bad light.

In fact, the mortgage rates Cook obtained were higher than the prevailing national averages at the time. It is not known when Cook locked in her mortgages, but typically borrowers fix their rate a month or two before the purchase.

Cook's financial disclosure shows one personal residence mortgage of $100,001-$250,000. Though the address is not specified, it is the same 15-year borrowing term as on her $203,000 Ann Arbor, Michigan, mortgage.

From the beginning of April to early July, the national average for the 15-year rate ranged from 2.23% to 2.45%.

Cook's rate was 2.875%.

Trump has never been convicted of fraud.

Hey Aussi,

since I'm not sure how else to reach you, I thought I'd try here. Maybe you'll read this and take another look at the post—the one that led to me being blocked.

I'd really like to take part in your thread again. To be honest, I have the feeling this might be a misunderstanding—I honestly can't explain it any other way.

Best regards,
Tiroler

"Cook, an 'autopen-appointed' (we assume) DEI hire who was overwhelmingly unqualified for the job, and 'wholeheartedly' supported the Fed's decision to help former President Biden by dropping interest rates in the home stretch of the 2024 election (with inflation soaring), has yet to actually deny the allegations - which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pointed out today during an appearance on Fox Business"

She is suing the administration because she is confident she’s innocent. Trump wants control of the FED. Firing cook and putting a muppet changes the game in his favor 4 to 3. Just like the Supreme Court

He's still young. There's still time for him to at least try something. Just for our entertainment, if nothing else.

Sorry, convicted of felony but that's not the point. The double standard is. You are condemning someone without any proof or trial and at the same time have no issue voting for a convicted felon to be your leader. For MAGA people the alt-right policies justify everything and law is insignificant. This makes it a fascist movement.

If Biden had fired someone without a cause hell would have broken out but with the criminal POTUS everything is just fine.

She made a mistake. Because of that it is likely she will get charged somewhat. The question then is, if this is enough. But this is a grey area and Trump will win this as he is president and higher courts will judge in his favor. So the ending question is, if Trump wins the majority on FED, does it mean he can decide rates should go much lower in short time period ? Then it would have an adverse effect on the markets but less than Powell would be fired. I expect a showdown in September with a falling stock market here.

He won't win because "he's the president". That's silly. There needs to be evidence for a crime (which there isn't). He's attacking his critics. He's sending Bondi to investigate the same mortgage crimes on Shift and James. It's just political retribution. There's no crime. Trump's a whiny little b e otch.

Of course she can and will be charged when she took advantage of lower mortgage interest rates claiming she had two primary address, when in fact only one is allowed to. And that is some money because of the house value so it will be a somewhat mediocre charge because of that. She cannot she did not know the rules and laws and made a stupid mistake as she is a professional in same branch as FED member. No one believes her that. So Trump can fire her because of that mistake for sure. I am very sure about that.

these lawsuits are ridiculous. He is the executive branch. Federal reserve is not needed and is unelected. They need to go. We can create something so much better. Remember when the old federal reserve would show why they were raising or lowering interest rates with their graphs and diagrams and be accountable to us showing us the purpose behind it. Those days are gone.

Even if you're innocent, you don't have to say you're innocent. That's self-evident. You are (even in the US) innocent until proven guilty in a fair legal process. That's the basic premise of human civilization.
