Cook has by no means been exonerated in this case. Her documents reveal inconsistencies that raise serious questions about her integrity and fitness to manage the nation's money supply. The evidence shows she signed standardized federal paperwork claiming properties as primary residences, while simultaneously describing them differently elsewhere. These aren't minor clerical errors but potential violations of federal law.
The Trump administration is abusing its power to target the president's political opponents through selective prosecution. This tactic mirrors Nixon-era tactics of weaponizing government agencies against adversaries, with officials rummaging through the mortgage records of critics like a fishing expedition. Cook's documents actually show transparency with her lender, undermining the entire fraud narrative.
