Sept 15 (Reuters) — The property tax authority in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook hasn’t broken rules for tax breaks on a home there that Cook declared her primary residence.

The finding, which came in response to a Reuters request that the city review Cook’s property records, could boost Cook’s defense against efforts by the Trump administration to remove her from the Federal Reserve board.

Ann Arbor has “no reason to believe” that Cook violated property tax rules, City Assessor Jerry Markey told Reuters. Cook has at times lived elsewhere and city records indicate she sought permission from Ann Arbor authorities to rent out the Michigan home on a short-term basis.

Temporary absence from the home or renting it out short-term wouldn’t disqualify her from a tax exemption in Ann Arbor, the tax official said. “Living elsewhere temporarily does not necessarily make an owner ineligible for a principal residence exemption,” said Markey.

1. Now what Trump? You can't let that black woman embarrass your fat ass can you?

[Username1234]

2. Just to be clear...

... the violent GOP lunatics are saying that a Fed governor for whom there's a completely unsubstantiated allegation of fraud by confessed and overt political partisans shouldn't be trusted with the county's finances. However, a con man with a long established reputation, including being recently convicted of over 30 counts of financial fraud, should be trusted to... not commit financial fraud (again)?


What rubes would swallow that?

6. About 30-35% of the population, that's who.

Scary, I know.

[mdbl]

3. So Trump is lying again?

Shocking!

[nwduke]

4. Trump finds another low IQ flunky, Bill Pulte

to investigate Lisa Cook only to find out his family own broke the law doing tax fraud as well as 3 of trumps clown show cabinet members doing the same, but surprise surprise, Lisa Cook was exonerated! Ha!

5. Sue Trump.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. She already did and the Appeals court said she can't be fired.

8. Sue him for defamation.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. A lot of people can sue him for that

I expect that is coming... although he would claim all that nonsense was part of his "official duties" and "Daddy Roberts" would go along with that and declare him "immune".

That atrocity that Roberts proclaimed, literally blew the lid off of any way (other than state charges perhaps) of reigning him in.

10. Do you really think it would be hard to

Prove malicious defamation when all of his policies are aimed to remove minorities from positions of power?

[BumRushDaShow]

12. The lower courts would (and have) agreed and aren't the problem

The problem is the SCOTUS, as he would be declared "immune" from prosecution. And any of his criminal cabal can violate any law imaginable and get an immediate pardon.

The "test" of this would be with E. Jean Carroll's defamation suits (that like all defamation cases, are "civil" ), that are headed for the SCOTUS.

The system is broken because it is based on "honor" and he has none.

11. A win for Lisa Cook--but she has cruel Trump after her for just being alive!

[cstanleytech]

13. In other words 🖕 you Trump and your and other Republicans firing people to replace them with your ass kissers.

[CharleyDog]

14. "Trumped-up charges" has new meaning now

yet, no one will be *allowed* to say the obvious truth, he, the orange clown is successful in his next totalitarian move. All Democrats are hereby valid targets for the orange clown, blessed by our Supreme Court.
