The “for cause” is a conveniently manufactured pretext. Trump can now fire any Fed Governor he likes. Just dig up some half baked allegation, cite it and fire.
“I have seen people imprisoned for less than she has been accused of.” No you have seen people imprisoned for being convicted of what she is accused of. If she was convicted or adjudicated then there would be cause shown.
Sure. If she committed mortgage fraud, then indict her. A criminal referral does not begin investigation, the DOJ chooses to. But it’s not like the FHFA or DOJ are independent, Trump controls them. So he has his FHFA director make a referral to his DOJ and he directs the DOJ to indict her.
If she’s guilty, she’s guilty. An accusation is not cause.
But let’s not pretend that this is anything other than an attempt by Trump to gain control of the Fed board.
Didn’t we spend years in NY and elsewhere hearing about how fraud against lenders was no big deal especially if the banks were paid? Who advanced that position?
And set aside whether if what is alleged as cause is true, is anyone concerned with the FHFA director trolling through private files, possibly in violation of federal privacy laws, without any predicate basis for doing so, just to drum up some trumped up charge of mortgage fraud? It’s clear Pulte is participating in an enemies list operation that would make Nixon blush.
What tipped them off to go looking at her applications, other than Mob Boss Wannabe Donnie telling his guy Pulte to go look at her files? Stop deflecting.
Because everything that he does is a conjured up power grab seeking to turn our democratic republic into fascism combined with narcissistic attention seeking so yeah, I basically hate everything he does
Has she been convicted of a crime? Has she even been charged with a crime?
It’s painfully obvious that Trump really really wants interest rates to go down to try and help his economic numbers (because of his dumbass tariffs), and because Powell won’t do it, Trump is trying to get control of the Fed.
If she were employed at Wells Fargo, do you think that this is sufficient “cause” for them to fire her? The accusation alone is more than enough cause.
How much MORE critical is it when she “governs” the US central bank, the Federal Reserve?
The problem is her accusers are toadie bootlickers of the most corrupt U.S. president in history. That is, the accusers have no credibility. The Turd Reich is well under way.
I don’t do criminal work, but after reading those texts, I’m shocked he didn’t do some time. Horrible. It seems like defense counsel got the judge to buy off on the idea that disbarment was sufficient punishment. I hate that for our profession – hold lawyers to a higher standard.
Primero
Seeking to control the Fed, Trump risks upending a pillar of the local economy by firing Fed governor.
End the Fed.
Maybe Fed isn’t place for DEI hires.
lol just say you don’t like black people
It’s not the color. I love Clarence Thomas. Don’t reduce DEI opposition to racism.
How was she a DEI hire then?
(Setting aside the fact that she wasn’t hired, she was appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate)
Obama appointee.
DEI
All Obama appointees are DEI hires?
(Setting aside the fact that she wasn’t appointed by Obama, she was appointed by Biden)
But don’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative, keep it going champ!
Touche. Biden Appointee.
DEI Hire nonetheless.
You win the blawg today ! ! ! !
Thomas is an unethical douche. Anita Hill called it.
He is the greatest mind on the Court. You’re just racist.
“unless sooner removed for cause by the President.”

Why is this a problem for you?
The “for cause” is a conveniently manufactured pretext. Trump can now fire any Fed Governor he likes. Just dig up some half baked allegation, cite it and fire.
So the Director of the FHA makes a criminal referral to the DOJ, which begins investigation does not constitute cause?
She literally bought houses in two different states, two weeks apart and claimed both were going to be her primary residence.
So, every case of mortgage fraud is “half baked”. Bullshit. I have seen people imprisoned for less than she has been accused of.
Just be honest and say that you hate EVERYTHING that Trump does and that nothing he does will ever be OK with you.
“I have seen people imprisoned for less than she has been accused of.” No you have seen people imprisoned for being convicted of what she is accused of. If she was convicted or adjudicated then there would be cause shown.
Nah, the accusation and its documented backup (signed and dated mortgage applications) alone is “cause”.
She is fired.
Cause!
i was today years old that i realized we can attach photos. I am going to have a field day with this lol
Sure. If she committed mortgage fraud, then indict her. A criminal referral does not begin investigation, the DOJ chooses to. But it’s not like the FHFA or DOJ are independent, Trump controls them. So he has his FHFA director make a referral to his DOJ and he directs the DOJ to indict her.
If she’s guilty, she’s guilty. An accusation is not cause.
But let’s not pretend that this is anything other than an attempt by Trump to gain control of the Fed board.
Maybe we need people who don’t sign mortgage applications with false information on them running the Fed.
Wells Fargo would consider this “cause” and would also fire her and you know it.
Maybe we need people who don’t try to overturn a free and fair election running the country.
Didn’t we spend years in NY and elsewhere hearing about how fraud against lenders was no big deal especially if the banks were paid? Who advanced that position?
Liberal here. Fire her for cause. Fire Trump for doing the same thing in NY.
And set aside whether if what is alleged as cause is true, is anyone concerned with the FHFA director trolling through private files, possibly in violation of federal privacy laws, without any predicate basis for doing so, just to drum up some trumped up charge of mortgage fraud? It’s clear Pulte is participating in an enemies list operation that would make Nixon blush.
FAIL!
This is like accusing the IRS of “trolling” through our personal tax returns.
Are you even a lawyer?
So what gave them the idea to go looking through mortgage applications from 4 years ago? Smells like a dead fish to me.
SOL is 10 years.
What tipped them off to go looking at her applications, other than Mob Boss Wannabe Donnie telling his guy Pulte to go look at her files? Stop deflecting.
The why matters not.
Cause is cause.
Difference between “elected” and “appointed”.
Just staaaaahhpp. . .
Because everything that he does is a conjured up power grab seeking to turn our democratic republic into fascism combined with narcissistic attention seeking so yeah, I basically hate everything he does
Cry harder, sis.
LMAO@U!
What’s the cause?
Has she been convicted of a crime? Has she even been charged with a crime?
It’s painfully obvious that Trump really really wants interest rates to go down to try and help his economic numbers (because of his dumbass tariffs), and because Powell won’t do it, Trump is trying to get control of the Fed.
If she were employed at Wells Fargo, do you think that this is sufficient “cause” for them to fire her? The accusation alone is more than enough cause.
How much MORE critical is it when she “governs” the US central bank, the Federal Reserve?
GTFOH!
Cause!
Cause!
She’s accused of falsifying documents to get more favorable loan terms and better interest rates.
If that allegation is cause to remove her from the Fed, why isn’t it cause to remove the President who has been actually convicted of that?
So remove him!
Actually, you can just wait 3 and a half more years.
The problem is her accusers are toadie bootlickers of the most corrupt U.S. president in history. That is, the accusers have no credibility. The Turd Reich is well under way.
You cannot be serious and must be a troll.
Guymon got probation. Judge Craig.
That is so terrible. He couldn’t have pulled a better judge for this outcome but for the victims the message is telling.
Anyone who thought Gary Guymon would get anything other than probation from Christy Craig (or ANY judge) is delusional. And not very bright.
Doug Crawford got probation; Gary Guymon was going to get probation.
Both were treated with respect and compassion not certain either one deserved such grace. Both disbarred?
I guess treating women like dirt is acceptable if you’re an attorney.
I hope Gary’s wife divorced him.
Gary’s bad behavior has been going on for years. So smug.
what is Guymon’s addiction?
sex, drugs, and gorillas
He treats objects like women!
Something being typical or expected doesn’t make it right.
I don’t do criminal work, but after reading those texts, I’m shocked he didn’t do some time. Horrible. It seems like defense counsel got the judge to buy off on the idea that disbarment was sufficient punishment. I hate that for our profession – hold lawyers to a higher standard.
Guymon wants to be a gangster, not a lawyer. Disbarment is no punishment at all.

Appoint her to the Fed.

Anyone know how the Nye County Commission meeting today went? They never posted a link.

would love to know what the hell i was supposed to be wasting my time on as a result of this post.
Trump should appoint Michele Fiore to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Thumbs up for the comment not the idea it espouses.
We could do worse.
End the Fed.
