8 Years of Trump Tax Returns Are Subpoenaed by Manhattan D.A.

[Anonymous]

The stay of the DA's subpoena expires Monday so Trump's lawyer is making sure the judge rules before the stay expires. Trump is so, so desperate to hide his tax returns, it's crazy.

BTW, the judge made a handwritten note closing the docket to any more filings - presumably so he can write an opinion.

They just reinstated one of the emoluments cases that had been left for dead.

Judge's 75 page opinion. He eviscerates Trump's arguments. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6455470-Marrero-ruling.html

It will go to the Supreme court before it is finally resolved.

If the ruling had been in favor of Trump, the prosecution would have appealed it.

“The New York judge who dismissed Trump's tax return suit also took a huge swing at the DOJ memos that say a sitting president can't be indicted. He says the legal weight given to these OLC opinions is "not warranted."

I bet Trump pays millions to accounting firms just so he pays less tax than me. He has until 1:00 to appeal.

An appeal has been filed on an emergency basis. It will ultimately be decided by the Supreme court.

And we will find out if Trump has unlimited power and protection.

I know it was just custom and not law that we see the taxes of candidates, but is it law that we see the taxes of Presidents (*)?

And let’s see what bought and paid for Brett rules.
