19. And you know what they say about Grand Juries?

the famous phrase, “by and large….[district attorneys] could get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich.”

So who's the ham sandwich now?

22. true that - and indictments / trial are important....

They will tie him up in knots for years.

But I worry about the jury pool. If he manages to get a change in venue to an upstate court, he will be in a very trumpy area. Just one red hat on the jury is enough to hang the jury. And a few of them are enough for acquital - regardless of the evidence.

Still, it's great news.

12. Seriously I can't wait to see how low

he sinks. I want him to be a pariah in prison

[Scottie Mom]

14. Absolutely!

I am waiting to see the first day he gets in to his cell and all his bullshit primping beauty aids are verboten. Just wait until he has to follow the rules, work in the laundry, bus dirty dishes...and earns 35-cents and hour.

26. You'd imagine that any old school Republican will be trying to help this along.

7. Not even a reach around?

[Scottie Mom]

10. I'd have to get arm extensions to reach around!!!!

Fuck him and feed him peanuts!

[Scottie Mom]

3. Oh, happy day!!!!!!!!

8. K&R for the rule of law

[Takket]

9. Al Capone is laughing his ass off at drumpf right now

Being that we have this news today, when do we realistically think we are looking at indictments? A few months?

[aeromanKC]

13. Tax records in Grand Juries hands within days

3,2,1............

[triron]

17. Good.

[getagrip_already]

24. the da has probably had them for a while.....

but wants copies that have a chain of custody to the irs.

I've been told that in nys, you have to ffile copies of your fed returns with your state returns. Now if they altered the fed copies, that would be interesting. Now nys can compare what he filed with the state against what he filed with the feds.

But they had other ways to obtain copies. They just couldn't use them cleanly. So their case is probably very ready once they get the certified copies.

15. One thing about this case,

numbers don't lie. Trump can't bullshit his way out of this one. I hope they bring in his accountant too, he shouldn't get a pass.

[triron]

16. Good. So how soon will the grand jury get them??

[WinstonSmith4740]

18. Anybody know what the vote breakdown was?

Couldn't find anything in the article. Just curious as to whether or not the drunk frat brat or Clarence Thomas got their heads out of Trump's ass long enough to do the right thing.

[CaptainTruth]

20. I believe SCOTUS just denied cert without comment, no "vote" was recorded.

A bunch of election cases were also denied cert (meaning SCOTUS won't hear them) this morning without comment. There was one PA case involving a PA Supreme Court decision where 3 justices dissented from the denial so you can guess how that "vote" went.

[Smackdown2019]

21. I wonder

I wonder if this will be a quick read, considering it's just tax paperwork. They most likely got their paperwork highlighted, just need to compare what MR Tax fraudUSA signed....

[twodogsbarking]

23. Anything to irritate Trump

is likely a good thing.

25. Here, both your provincial and federal taxes are completely conjoined.

The forms for your province of residence are included in your federal tax package and have to be submitted together.
