CNN’s Quest: If Trump Is Able to Fire Fed Gov. Lisa Cook Over Fraud Claims, It Changes the ‘Definition of Firing Somebody for Cause’

‘Whatever the situation is with these two mortgages that she has, certainly there‘s no allegation that she‘s done anything wrong in her job’

RUSH EXCERPT:
QUEST: "If he‘s able To successfully. Get rid of. Her. Then essentially. The whole. Definition of firing. Somebody for cause, because that‘s what it is, has now been then defined. And he‘ll be. Able to have a much. Freer rein. Because the. Reality is, in the case of Lisa Cook, whatever. The Situation is. With these two mortgages that she has, certainly there‘s no allegation that she‘s done anything wrong in her job at the Fed. And secondly, these are still allegations of her work before then. So to get rid of her for cause about something. Unrelated to that‘s not been proved would be a most remarkable achievement. But as one of your other panelists said, he seems to do that again and again. I will say to the question of his ability to do these things and get away with it. It is because those other checks and balances that would have kicked in his own party Congress, are not doing so. It‘s different with Lisa Cook, in a sense, because there‘s the other fed governors so so Richard stocks in the U.S."
