Robert Morris, the Texas megachurch pastor who built Gateway Church into one of the largest congregations in the country, pleaded guilty Thursday in Osage County District Court to charges that he sexually abused a girl in the 1980s. Morris, 64, entered the plea before Judge Cindy Pickerill, admitting to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. Under a negotiated plea agreement, he was given a ten-year sentence, but he will only serve six months in county jail. He must also be registered as a sex offender and pay $250,000 in restitution. read more

China stopped buying soybeans from America in May, placing a retaliatory tariff on the bumper crop after President Trump increased levies on goods from China. Soybean sales to China were $12.6 billion last year, $0 this year since May. 52% of soybeans were sold to China last year, 0% this year since May. It wasn't even mentioned at the last trade negotiation.

It won't even make it to trial.

They have to prove she intentionally deceived the bank by claiming it would be her primary residence in order to secure a better rate, not simply an error.

1. This claim literally only relies on a power of attorney document.
She clearly caught the error in the document and notified the bank it would NOT be her primary residence. It would be the primary residence for her neice who she was helping buy the property. She did so in capital letters in emails to the mortgatge loan broker: "This property will NOT be my primary residence. It will be Shamice's primary residence."
2. Worse for the DOJ, the loan application filed after the erred power of attorney form clearly reflects that it will NOT be her primary residence.
So Prosecutors are going to have a hard time proving she intended to deceive the bank.
3. The other option prosecutors are trying to claim the Fannie May/Freddie Mac standardized form requires the signer to use the home as their primary residence. Except, it was signed by BOTH her and her niece. So that is unlikely to go anywhere as well.

So essentially showing intent will be impossible AND showing it would have gotten her a better rate nearly impossible. Both are required.

There is a reason why DOJ attorneys refused to bring the case and Trump had to put his own insurance lawyer in AND why no other DOJ attorney would even sign documents related to the case.
