Somebody made up his mind already?? All of Washington makes up its mind about ME before I walk in, I walk in anyway, usually WIN! Bring a very good Argument, that's my advice.

PUBLIC RECORD

Lisa Cook’s lawyer told the White House that its committee examining whether Trump has cause to remove her is “demonstrably biased.” One of its three members has already said cause exists; all three are Trump appointees. Cook denies Trump’s mortgage-fraud allegation, and no criminal charges have been filed.
