What evidence does NY State AG Cyrus Vance have that a crime has been committed, and he needs the President’s tax record to help him investigate that crime?

Because if Vance has no evidence a crime has occurred this is a fishing expedition.— Brian Cates //Flynn & Breitbart's Army! (@drawandstrike) July 9, 2020

SCOTUS Big Decisions: Rules NY DA Can Subpoena Pres. Trump For Tax Returns, Blocks Congress From Accessing His Finances
Jennie Taer
Jul 9, 2020
The U.S. Supreme Court made two important decisions Thursday regarding the government’s ability to access Pres. Donald Trump’s tax documents.

In the first decision, the court ruled that the New York District Attorney is allowed the power to subpoena Trump for his tax returns.

“This is a tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice and its founding principle that no one – not even a president – is above the law,” Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said in a statement of the decision. “Our investigation, which was delayed for almost a year by this lawsuit, will resume, guided as always by the grand jury’s solemn obligation to follow the law and the facts, wherever they may lead.”
The second decision, however, blocked Congress from gaining access to Trump’s tax records. Moreover, the issue will be handed down to a lower court.

“Without limits on its subpoena powers, Congress could ‘exert an imperious controul’ over the Executive Branch and aggrandize itself at the President’s expense, just as the Framers feared, Chief Justice John Robert’s wrote of the court’s decision.

TULSA HEALTH OFFICIALS: "Trump Rally Likely' Source Of Virus Surge"

Apparently the large BLACK LIES MATTER / ANTIFA mob riots in Tulsa had nothing to do with the surge in virus cases.

That's their story and they're sticking to it!

Think Logically

1. SC just opened the door
2. Imagine what would happen, if, by law, every US Congressman/woman, US Senator, President etc. was by US law audited every 1-2 years by an independent agency.
3. What happen if those audits extended to all elected family members https://t.co/qHTV2aEcFp— X22 Report (@X22Report) July 9, 2020

Our President has a certain image to represent while President. IT'S an ugly world with ugly leaders. These tax records aren't being fought by our President and his lawyers for legal means Judy. They ARE FOUGHT for the Image he needs to be the President of these Great and Powerful United States. This is what many people fail to understand.

I'm sure Peobody is much better at explaining......LEGAL....has nothing to do with this fight on our President's side.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”....Sun Tzu

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” “Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.” “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

NOW, do you see what I'm having a time putting into words? This can't be OUT THERE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE.

I know what you’re saying NIKK. I think the whole thing is beyond shameful. It belittles him in the world’s eyes. I keep clinging to my belief that God has placed President Trump, and will uphold him. With all that has been launched at this man thus far, it is a miracle he’s still standing, and I believe he’ll continue to win.

Yeah?

Maybe so - but there's a lot of lead poisoning going on in Chicongo, Baltimore and NY City.

And it ain't from chewing lead paint off window sills.

Supreme Court: No presidential “absolute immunity” on grand jury subpoena for Tax Returns, but separation of powers may protect from congressional subpoenas

In Vance, the court ruled 7-2 in an opinion by Roberts, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch concurring in the judgment, with Alito and Thomas dissenting. The Court rejected Trump’s “absolute immunity” or “heightened need” claim, but left open that there may be other objections Trump can raise in the lower courts:

Two hundred years ago, a great jurist of our Court established that no citizen, not even the President, is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding. We reaffirm that principle today and hold that the President is neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas seeking his private papers nor entitled to a heightened standard of need. The “guard[] furnished to this high officer” lies where it always has—in “the conduct of a court” applying established legal and constitutional principles to individual subpoenas in a manner that preserves both the independence of the Executive and the integrity of the criminal justice system. Burr, 25 F. Cas., at 34.

The arguments presented here and in the Court of Appeals were limited to absolute immunity and heightened need. The Court of Appeals, however, has directed that the case be returned to the District Court, where the President may raise further arguments as appropriate.

Vance is a backhanded political win for Trump, since there will be more litigation and possibly a return trip to the Supreme Court. His goal is to drag things out so it doesn’t affect the election. But it now leaves Trump open to innumerable additional investigations by politically motivated prosecutors.

In Mazars, Trump have more of a win. Another Roberts decision, with Thomas and Alito dissenting. The court overruled the enforcement of the congressional subpoenas, holding the lower courts did not adequately take into account separation of powers:
When Congress seeks information “needed for intelligent legislative action,” it “unquestionably” remains “the duty of all citizens to cooperate.” Watkins, 354 U. S., at 187 (emphasis added). Congressional subpoenas for information from the President, however, implicate special concerns regarding the separation of powers. The courts below did not take adequate account of those concerns. The judgments of the Courts of Appeals for the D. C. Circuit and the Second Circuit are vacated, and the cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

This is another political win for Trump, as his accountants do not have to produce anything to the congressional Democrats — for now.

So the headlines aren’t telling the whole story. I would like to read Thomas and Alito dissents on both.

It is a fishing expedition by Vance.

What he is looking for and hopes to find is payments to bimbos by Trump in order to keep them quiet.

Vance has stated that those payments would be in violation of campaign finance laws if they weren’t reported.

Do you think he will find anything?

I don’t.

But it sure doesn’t make it right.

“Black Lives Matter, they don’t surge viruses.”

Aren’t blacks some of the most likely to get the virus?

Go figure.

Just talked to a friend in Utah and they painted Black Livers Matter on main street in PArk City, , people are mad about it.

Someone painted out Black and they are looking for them.

Now I'm just throwing this out. I first thought Cohen was siphoning money from Donald. And making false records to cover up his illegal actions. Then Colen would have to lie and say he paid Stormy the money for his cover. Now he could have paid her money and turned around and kept a good sum for himself. So he would have to lie his way out of his illegal practices. So that leaves Cohen with a dilemma.
