4. Not signed off on... the allegation is that she committed the fraud herself

I believe that it was applying to mortgages just a couple of weeks apart in two different states, while declaring that both were going to be her principal residence.

The problem here is that it's just an allegation at this point that DOJ is reportedly investigating. While the president has the power to remove fed governors for cause... I think he has to wait for her to be at least indicted.
