Although Cook, the first Black woman to serve as Fed governor, has not been charged or convicted of any crime, the Mad King cares nothing about rules, procedures, or laws. That ain't how tyrants roll.

Many experts questioned the legality of Mr. Trump’s actions, pointing out that the allegations against Ms. Cook were unproven and involved conduct that predated her time at the Fed. Nor was Ms. Cook afforded an opportunity to review the evidence and respond to the claims formally, which struck many observers as legally problematic.

In a 24-page filing, lawyers for Ms. Cook described the firing as “unprecedented and illegal,” and said it would “subvert” the central bank’s congressionally mandated protections as laid out in the Federal Reserve Act. The filing said Mr. Trump violated Ms. Cook’s right to due process, highlighting that she had no chance to respond to the allegations before the president announced her termination.

On the bright side, the Mad King didn't call her “uppity.”

Yet.
