Once they are under subpoena, the accounting firm cannot dispose of them (either by destroying them or just returning them to Trump) without court approval.

Trump’s tax records are only wanted for “Political Reasons.”

They want to be able to leak them.

Right now, their Deep State confederates in the IRS want to dump them out there, but the IRS stooges have no deniability.

Once the grand jury and the prosecutors get them, the Zerobama IRS holdovers can dump it ALL - and nobody is the wiser.

An investigation to find a crime.

How Stalinesque.

I’ve watched My Cousin Vinny a bunch of times so I know quite a bit about how the law works. Plus, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, so there’s that.

I’d be saying the hill with all of you.... reap what you sow and have a good time until the walls fall in on you all. I had a good life and wanted to help everyone ... uplift all... but you want to live in misery... have at it!

This will be phase three in the Get Trumpy charade after impeachment blows up in their faces.

“On what grounds?”

“We really, really hate the dude.”

“Ok, we’ll consider your motion.”

Isn’t it strange No CONgressman/woman ever gets their taxes subpoenaed? Trump enters politics worth 4 billion or so, is worth less now...CON guess enters politics worth 250K and in one term is worth millions....on 250K salary. Sunpoena their damn records first if you want to fish for a crime.

I don't know what these secret grand juries the Manhattan DA wants the Trump tax returns for but this I do know.

The Manhattan District Attorney is a big liberal, Cy Vance, Jr., son of a big liberal Cyrus Vance, former Sec. of State for another big liberal, Jiminy Cricket Carter.

This thing stinks of another political misadventure to try and bring down Trump from a different direction other than the Deep State in DC.

No what’s strange is that he has lived in NY for over 70 years and it’s only when he is president that they NEED to see it...and for what reason? If the SCOUTUS approved, I would start demanding Pelosis and Schumers!

Where is the probable cause for his tax returns? The subpoena violates the 4th Amendment. A “Secret” Grand Jury doesn’t trump the constitution.

Heard two nights ago that Nancy Pelosi since she started in Congress now has a personal fortune of $126 million without doing any job except the work for which she gets the usual Congressional paycheck.

Grateful constituents must thank her with monetary gifts for special favors she grants them. People can be so generous./s
