~ yet they easily handed it out to much larger companies who shouldn’t have even qualified in the first place… mmmkay.

The justice department has committed the most flagrant form of fraud ever committed by such high officials in the history of the states existence. I completely trusted the fbi with everything in me. Now I trust a regular cop more. I would give them 0 the respect they once deserve

Bound to happen!

When will they charge Trump for the same?

Seems like the bank didn't spend too much time reviewing the loan application before they approved the business owner for the money.

Small business owner is code for angry republican.

Trump lied 18,000 times with no penalty

Oh man this is only the beginning. The program was so ripe for fraud not even funny
