    Yeah, I’m not sure what the news part about this is. This feels like it’s building to something newsworthy but isn’t itself newsworthy. It’s not exactly shocking that the person applying for a loan wanted a loan.

      The lawyers and legal analysts think it’s significant. While it seems obvious to us, it’s part of proving their case step-by-step.

        That’s exactly what I said. It is a piece to building something newsworthy, but in itself isn’t.

      The news is that the left never learned that Trump rode his way to presidency off these meaningless “guyz guess what stupid thing le drumpf did today click our paywall article to find out and remember to turn off ad blocker or you hate democracy” articles.
