Reporting? well first of all, on the letter, yeah, of course we take that kind of thing seriously. we actually received it while we were on the phone with the trump campaign, vetting each and every fact that we plan to put in our story. we re very careful about that kind of thing. which one stood out to me? i mean, we when we went into nine examples in the story what stood out to me was sometimes the timing of the events and the benefits. so in one example a witness and one of former president trump s cases between the time he got a subpoena to testify before the grand jury and when he actually did testify before the grand jury, he got up position on the board of trump s media company. his affiliation with that company has been quite lucrative. he got a promissory note for $4 promissory note that converted into shares of the company. he got a very ....
