[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lisa Cook is not denying that she lied on the mortgage application.  Curious omission.

[b]It seems like many people don't consider this a crime.[/b][/quote]

People emulate the President.  [/quote]

So it's ok for anyone to break the law now? Do you hear yourself?[/quote]

Hmm, apparently for Trump, it is (except if you are a Black woman):

During his second presidency in 2025, Trump issued executive orders to pause and roll back several anti-corruption measures:

[b]Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)[/b]: In February 2025, Trump signed an executive order pausing all FCPA investigations and enforcement for at least 180 days. This act, which has been law since 1977, prohibits U.S. companies from bribing foreign government officials. The order directed the Attorney General to review existing cases and issue revised guidelines to prioritize "American competitiveness".

[b]Biden Administration ethics rules[/b]: On his first day in office in January 2025, Trump revoked ethics pledges that had been required for executive branch personnel under the Biden administration. These pledges had included restrictions on accepting gifts from registered lobbyists and a two-year ban on appointees participating in matters related to their former employers.

[b]Firing independent watchdogs:[/b] In both of his presidential terms, Trump fired various Inspectors General (IGs) and the director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE). IGs are independent officials who investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies. [/quote]
