He got the delay he was seeking. NOTHING has to be turned over now, or probably this entire year.

even if they were to be turned over immediately. They will be part of ongoing investigations. The public won't see them until those investigations are concluded, if then.

And when that happens he erupts with some really dumb sh*t that is virtually impossible to clean up after.

And there’s a far greater chance his taxes will get out in the future. His lawyers will have to explain that to him.

This decision pushes this issue past November and in Trump feeble mind - that's a win for him.

He's been litigious all his life and again - this strategy helps him.

He doesn't want to be President anymore. He is focused on "how to get out of this crap," and that's all.

In the end - he'll never admit that he lost today. Some way or other - Trump will justify what happened today with these SCOTUS decisions - as a win.

Even if they were turned over immediately they wouldn't be made public, at least not for a very long time. They will be part of ongoing investigations that will continue after the election. He lost because "his" Supreme Court held that he's not immune from investigation.
