A lot of it. Does anyone here doubt that? Trump has not been fighting this hard to keep his taxes secret for the hell of it. There is something in those taxes he doesn't want people to see.

All in my non-lawyerly humble opinion.

(59,495 posts)As the NY case goes on, every time it comes up, it brings up the issue that Trump very likely broke the law. That means that Republicans already exhausted from defending Trump know that eventually this case will be brought against Trump's people including him.
What Trump knows is that he already was likely to lose the election ... and this does not help. As soon as he is a private citizen, he might face a criminal indictment.

(15,373 posts)But that's a federal court, isn't it? I thought the big deal was that Trump was counting on blanket immunity because even if he were pardoned that's only applies at a federal level and wouldn't matter to New York prosecutors, which I assumed were at a state level in this story.
What am I missing?
