Pete Williams on MSNBC:
"it means he's out of office. Remember, he tried once before when he was in the White House saying, 'I'm president, you can't trust me, I'm immune from the criminal process, including grand jury subpoenas.' And the Supreme Court rejected that argument by a vote of 7 to 2. Both the two Trump appointees on the court at the time voted with the majority. So, the president's lawyers went back to the court and said, 'okay, the problem with the subpoena is it's too broad. It's too much. Well, they lost in the trial court. They lost in the court of appeals. They went to the Supreme Court last October with an emergency appeal, saying please stop this until we can get up there and argue the case on the merits."
"And finally today, the Supreme Court said 'nope, we're denying this emergency application,'" Williams continued. "So it's over. The president is out of legal options to try to stop this. Remember, what the grand jury wants is about eight or are nine years of the president's corporation and personal tax returns from his accountants. The accountants already said we will do whatever the courts say so expect this material to be turned over within a matter of days. We don't know exactly what side Cy Vance investigated, whether he understated his assets in order to invade taxes and possible insurance fraud, but now it's over. This material has to be turned over."

(82,849 posts)4. It took the Court four months to rule on the emergency application?
Gee, I guess that old caller of balls and strikes needed to check the replay monitors a few times before feeling safe enough to rule against Donald Trump, now that Trump's totally out of office and denied his favorite platform for his little squirts of bile.
So courageous there, Mr. Chief Justice.

The attorney's for Trump waited until the last day to file the appeal to the Supreme Court. The Court acted very quickly in its ruling.
