Despite the SCOTUS ruling, Trump should still be able to withhold documents till after the election.

I wish the decisions would have an immediate effect on our learing what Trump's hiding.

But we shouldn't expect that.

I applaud the decision(s), the rulings against Trump.

I just wish they had come earlier.

If the goal of @realdonaldtrump's legal strategy was not to win but to delay -- to keep the public from seeing his tax returns before the 2020 election-- it appears to have succeeded.

Just imagine what the Lincoln Project, Bloomberg and others will do with Trump's continued obstruction. What criminal acts are you hiding, Trump?

And Joe. Joe will beat him like a drum with this.

the financial records, not tRump. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. Should be entertaining.

I'm glad that the prosecutors will get them. That's what he's really afraid of.
