The political theater continues as the Department of Justice opens a criminal investigation into Lisa Cook, a former Federal Reserve official who was axed by President Trump. Allegations? Mortgage fraud. Coincidence? Hardly. We see another example of liberal officials thinking they’re untouchable, playing fast and loose with the rules we all have to follow.
Here’s the scoop: Cook, appointed by Biden, allegedly tried to cheat the system with her housing applications. Listing two primary residences to grab better loan terms isn’t just a mistake; it’s manipulation. But instead of taking responsibility, her legal team cries foul over the so-called “political agenda” of Trump. Maybe Cook should look in the mirror and figure out where the real agenda lies.

Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. It’s not just the DOJ digging into Cook’s sketchy dealings; grand juries could be convened to bring charges. Yet, Cook’s legal team screams political conspiracy, ignoring the basic principle that actions have consequences. But why expect accountability from a Biden appointee?
William Pulte’s move to refer Cook to the DOJ wasn’t just about this one scandal. It’s about shining a light on the swamp behavior that’s all too common among Democrats and their allies. This pattern of corruption doesn’t just disappear because the left wants it to. They’d rather scream about undermining Fed independence. But what about their own independence from ethics?
Why is it that whenever there’s scrutiny on Democrats, the immediate reaction is to blame Trump for everything? Cook’s predicament isn’t about politics; it’s about integrity—or the lack thereof. Shouldn’t we expect more from individuals in high places? Or has the bar been set so low that even fraud might get a free pass?
