FULL TEXT: Trump responds after Supreme Court orders release of tax returns to NY prosecutor
Breaking 911 ^ | 02/22/2021 | T. Grant Benson

On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered former President Donald Trump’s accountants to releases financial and tax records to prosecutors in New York.

The former president responded in a lengthy statement, calling the ruling “a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of our Country.”

FULL TEXT: ‘Statement on the Continuing Political Persecution of President Donald J. Trump’

This investigation is a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of our Country, whether it was the never ending $32 million Mueller hoax, which already investigated everything that could possibly be investigated, “Russia Russia Russia,” where there was a finding of “No Collusion,” or two ridiculous “Crazy Nancy” inspired impeachment attempts where I was found NOT GUILTY. It just never ends!

So now, for more than two years, New York City has been looking at almost every transaction I’ve ever done, including seeking tax returns which were done by among the biggest and most prestigious law and accounting firms in the U.S. The Tea Party was treated far better by the IRS than Donald Trump. The Supreme Court never should have let this “fishing expedition” happen, but they did. This is something which has never happened to a President before, it is all Democrat-inspired in a totally Democrat location, New York City and State, completely controlled and dominated by a heavily reported enemy of mine, Governor Andrew Cuomo. These are attacks by Democrats willing to do anything to stop the almost 75 million people (the most votes, by far, ever gotten by a sitting president) who voted for me in the election—an election which many people, and experts, feel that I won. I agree!

The new phenomenon of “headhunting” prosecutors and AGs—who try to take down their political opponents using the law as a weapon—is a threat to the very foundation of our liberty. That’s what is done in third world countries. Even worse are those who run for prosecutorial or attorney general offices in far-left states and jurisdictions pledging to take out a political opponent. That’s fascism, not justice—and that is exactly what they are trying to do with respect to me, except that the people of our Country won’t stand for it.

In the meantime, murders and violent crime are up in New York City by record numbers, and nothing is done about it. Our elected officials don’t care. All they focus on is the persecution of President Donald J. Trump.

I will fight on, just as I have, for the last five years (even before I was successfully elected), despite all of the election crimes that were committed against me. We will win!

You nailed it but folks here don’t understand that basically his hands were tied over his picks.

“I actually felt with Trump in the office, the country was as safe as it could be. Our enemies feared him.

But with “The Void”; no hyperbole here, I’m shocked we’re not getting blasted. Anyways... it’s a depressing time.”

This is the kind of time when ordinary men find their greatness - those that have any greatness in them that is.

That is a good thing, those who quietly rot in obscure peacetime growing anew when all the high places have been desecrated by oportunistic scoundrels, just when needed just in time to end that horrid condition where the world has turned inside out.

Woe to those weak mediocrities who prospered during the ebb tide who will be swept away when the flood returns.

Even as recently as mid-2020 we had people right here on FR who thought he should have picked Chris Christie as his AG.

You gotta be kidding me. LOL.

I still remember posting this shortly after Election Day in 2016:

One of Trump's great advantages was his ability to attract supporters who think of national politics as a WWE event.

One of Trump's great challenges is that he has supporters who think of national politics as a WWE event.

LOL.

You should have just exposed it all to the American people.


You are right about that. I like to think that is yet to come and why they are trying so hard to discredit him.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I don’t want to outlive my sons, one who has already had a bout with cancer, so I’m ready to go any time the Lord sees fit. Better before the commies take over completely, than after.

Donald, you should have declared martial law.

Wouldn't have to worry about Congress, courts or future elections.

“Barret and Kavanaugh are so disappointing, I wonder if the protests against them (esp. Kavanaugh) were a diversion to get them in, sort of a “lady doth protest too much” kind of thing.”

I am with you on Kav. Barrett needs a bit more time to see. But I agree with you.

The only good to come from this is that conservatives may pry their heads out of their rear ends and admit that the “purity test” people and even the cynical conspiracy theorist types were right all along.

Hmmmm.... Given Linda’s full throated (no pun intended) excoriation during the hearings, this makes sense. Never trust a phag in men’s clothing.

One of the greatest agendas on the late MAGA platform was judges especially the Supremes. What a complete disgusting waste as was the two a-hole AGs who simply watched the Trump administration and the election go into the toilet!

Don’t count on it. These state attorneys are notorious for making a name for themselves by aggressive prosecution of CEO’s and politicians. Taxes are so complicated now that they will probably have no trouble finding some way to convict Trump for something. The US is now a banana republic. Arresting former leaders is something they do.

But many of those get overturned on appeal. Look at that snake Weissman’s track record.

there must be a whole lot of funnybusiness going on with certain dems’ tax returns for them to be trying to distract us with Trump’s tax returns.

It’s not like the NYC DA has real criminals to chase or anything...

Trump needs to get back on social media. I miss his Tweets so much and they always got everyone’s attention.

This could be interesting. Will there be a prodecutor or judge who will slap down that pathetic DA when (not if) the files are “leaked” to the NYT? I’m surprised the IRS hasn’t leaked them already. But it will definitely happen with these ny weasels.

I face reality everyday but its not on the MSM. If your reality is what you see and hear on Fox you are the one who is not getting the truth. The MSM is the cult.

“Donald, you should have declared martial law.”

I just can’t imagine facing that choice. It was no-win in so many ways and he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t.

I now hope buyer’s remorse damns the D’rats worse than they can survive, that a Patriot Party neuters the GOPe and takes in many patriot D’s, and that the vote steal truth gets unavoidably exposed.

Trump is certainly as pissed as a man can be, is critically reviewing has former perspectives and is now strategizing to defeat America’s enemies within.

It is likely now his core, “as long as he breathes” mission.
