If the Lib prosecutor has them. The MSM will have them and everyone else including Congress.

And since they can’t indict him while in office.....

Todays ruling means nothing until he leaves office?

Bloomberg:

“The U.S. Supreme Court cleared a New York grand jury to get President Donald Trump’s financial records while blocking for now House subpoenas that might have led to their public release before the election.”

The first case is returned to lower court where Trump can advance further arguments.

The second case is a pure Trump win, Congress loses.

Not so fast.

According to scotusblog the case is sent back to the lower courts for more proceedings.

There is an excellent chance DJT's lawyers can run out the clock before the election.

Difference without distinction. If the New York prosecutor that is merely targeting him because of New Year’s get them, the Democrat party gets them. Robert screwed us again

No way they’re not gonna get to Congress.

But Trump should have staffed an administration that would have gone over the Obama admin’s illegal use of IRS tax powers and access long before now.

Joe Tea Party was never protected in a more important precedent.

I think both cases were remanded back to lower courts. This is not a loss for Trump...yet.

In theory, I don’t think any president should be able to avoid criminal investigation and prosecution. That being said, there probably is no way to keep that from being used as a weapon against the political opposition. This is precedent setting and will just lead to more issues.

Good grief. Spinning like a top.

The NY state prosecutor needs to go back to the lower court where Trump and his lawyers will fight well past the election.

Congress can go and piss in their hat because they will not get through the lower courts in time for the election.

If Trump wins then both houses of congress will be pubbie and the congressional harassment of Trump stops.

If Trumps loses, lock and load, it will be bad.

The real pandemic is TDS — Trump Derangement Syndrome. Like toxoplasmosis, it has wormed its way into every left-of-center brain in Christendom, and a good many non-leftist noggins as well. Every single current event and the resulting “news” coverage, without exception, now needs to be seen thru this lens. And Nadler definitely shouldn’t be noshing on nuggets from the litterbox.

No. Superficial news report.

POTUS doesn't have absolute privilege or immunity to withhold tax info from prosecutors, but he does have same the same rights as any other citizen (proscutors who go on fishing expeditions are afoul of process).

Case on financial records to NY prosecutor goes back to lower court.

On the Congressional fishing expedition, lower courts didn't properly assess the separation of powers, so that case goes back too.

Both cases continue. No conclusion to either yet. call it win or lose depending on preferred spin.

Unless Vance already has the returns, he has nothing to leak. The ruling said that the President was not immune, which I never thought he had. But it said that he could freely drag out the appeals process and then the Supreme Court would rule on whether the underlying merits of the case warranted his turning over his tax returns to a State Court.

From the President's attorney:

We are pleased that in the decisions issued today, the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked both Congress and New York prosecutors from obtaining the President’s financial records. We will now proceed to raise additional Constitutional and legal issues in the lower courts.
