So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor accused of mortgage fraud by the Trump administration, shows that Cook had declared the property as a “vacation home,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters.

In Judge Dugan's reply on immunity argument at District level, she calls out DOJ for misstating evidence, claiming that she directed the migrant to the stairwell rather than the public hallway. If true they substituted facts from MA case v Judge Joseph. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
2 On this small detail, Judge Dugan follows the government on one of its forays outside the scope of the
indictment. It is undisputed—and indisputable, given the video evidence—that E.F.R. entered the public
hallway about 15 feet to the right of the usual courtroom door, where two agents watched him emerge. So
Judge Dugan never “optimized” the man’s avoidance of federal agents. Contra Dkt. 46 at 28. On the
government’s own witness statements, she certainly never directed E.F.R. “to access a stairwell.” Dkt. 46 at 21.
To the contrary, she pointed him to the public hallway. None of this is dispositive now, one way or the other,
especially because the magistrate judge found these acts part of a judge’s job, Dkt. 43 at 30, and the government
does not dispute that finding. But it begs the question why the government overstates or misstates its evidence
