But it also had some familiar, particularly regular language that deals with the resolution of a conflict or a dispute between parties, which
interestingly, included mutual releases, right, which is what people get.
But the problem in this instance, though, is it had additional provisions that were not normal, and it kind of had defined terms that were never defined.
So in legal documents, as we know, sometimes you'll refer to something and then you'll
put it either in quotes or you'll put it in capital letters or you'll capitalize the first letter of some of the terms, and then we call it a defined term.
And yet in the settlement agreement, we didn't know what the lawsuit was that was being referred to by Donald Trump in this instance.
And there was also the inclusion of people that end up being beneficiaries under the terms of the settlement agreement that were never contemplated because they were never parties to the settlement agreement.
And so that...
was just out of the blue.
It was like Athena springing from the head of Zeus, except not that beautifully elegant ever because it's Donald Trump.
There was a settlement agreement that came out of a non-controversy in front of this judge.

Victims of Democratic administration overreach and lawfare, right?
Like terms never...
defined in the agreement.
And then subsequent to that initial, right, announcement, Blanche, I think exclusively Blanche, signs, and remember, this is the attorney general nominee, former personal lawyer to Donald Trump, signs this additional order granting the president and members of his family and their businesses this wide-ranging and unprecedented immunity from
from tax inquiries, including those that were pending at the time of the settlement.
