The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a last-ditch bid by former President Donald Trump to keep his financial records, including years of his tax returns, out of the hands of the Manhattan district attorney, Cy Vance Jr.

The decision, the second time the nation’s highest court has weighed in on the matter, was announced in an order with no noted dissents. The news further imperils the ex-president, who is facing investigations in New York and elsewhere

The Biden/Harris regime of terror holds the reins of power.
And the Supine Court rolls over and licks Joe’s hand.
Joe smiles.

He had a chance while president to get a shark of an AG. I said since 2016, if he doesn’t restore the rule of law it will be the biggest blunder. Well, there is no rule of law.

............lol, I’m sure Trump no doubt had some of the best tax attorneys and accountants in the world prepare those tax returns. The legal wrangling over any particular charge could take centuries to fight about. Meanwhile, Trump’s president in 2024 and pardons himself!

What a waste!

I know they are feeling vindictive, but they had better think and think again before they continue to piss off 80 million people. I don’t think railroading Trump will do much to endear any politician.

The Democrats are teaching a lesson to every non-deep-state conservative who comes after Trump.

Trump will look like a kitten by comparison.

Blame the Senate, whose GOP members threatened him over firing his own Cabinet members. They, Mitch etc., would not allow him a shark of an AG.

Agreed, the last bastion of protection of the American people from tyranny has failed us, and continues to do so.
