1. Yes, there are no more legal avenues to prevent the grand jury from getting his tax returns

Let's see what Cy Vance is willing/able to do with the information.

[intrepidity]

2. As in, no appeals left on this matter

or he's toast?

[MagickMuffin]

3. BREAKING NEWS: msnbc HE IS NO LONGER THE pRESIDENT

PLEASE refrain from referring to him as such.

[birdographer]

30. That grated on me, too. nt

[ChazInAz]

44. Yessir.

He is disgraced former president.

[PatSeg]

4. I think it is the BEGINNING of the end of the road for him

I think there is a lot more to come, probably much more than most people even realize. The man's entire adult life has been one big scam. The more you dig, the more you will find.

[ffr]

25. And the GOP, now QOP, bought into it, thinking it's the only way to save their dying party

May they all be flushed down the toilet and forgotten forever!

[PatSeg]

28. Yes, for republicans

it is by any means necessary. The ends justify the means. There is no real moral compass in their party, though they like to pay lip service to "values" and "integrity".

[Brush Bunny]

5. Hunch says,

all those DA's and AG's that sat on cases are about to go all in. Expecting Tax Collectors to ramp up Collections as well. Especially dealing with fake Property valuations.

[GopherGal]

11. Anybody who can credibly be accused of going easy on him in the past

(talkin' 'bout you, Cy) will now want to go after him hard to erase that impression. Especially if they're in an elected office, given "the prior guy's" low approval ratings in his old neighborhood.

[Brush Bunny]

13. Oh you stinker,

golly who would have thought. Hmmm,that 45k from JarVanka may have had a impact,nooooo.

[napi21]

6. There must be some really juicy stuff in those returns judging by how hard he fought to keep them

secret. Either hes been lying BIG TIME about how much he's worth, or something like where his investments are. It will be interesting to see just what it is.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Pretty Sure It's The Former

There are reasonable estimates that put him as having under what he inherited in 1991.
We'll probably also going to find some tax chicanery to help cover interest on debt.
But, I think the biggest revelation is that his claims of interest payments will show the debt load is WAY higher than he ever claimed & that he's not a billionaire. Perhaps not even close.

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. IMO, it's going to prove, or at least strongly suggest, that he has, perhaps illegally,

played both ends of the ownership situation. Lowball his holdings to escape his proper tax owing, but overvalue them (and probably hide how highly leveraged they are, as much as possible) when it comes time to borrow against them.

Does anyone else wonder how his hellspawn - AKA 'children' - are going to treat him if he really goes bankrupt? Any loyalty or fear left for him to play off? I'm sure Melania (sic) will grab anything that's portable and of value and run for the hills. She might already be prepping for that day.

[Justice matters.]

10. Cy Vance has hired this century's 'Eliot Ness' to that effect weeks ago.

His name is Mark Pomerantz: He busted Gambino's mob boss.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9283939/Manhattan-DA-hires-high-profile-mob-lawyer-Mark-Pomerantz-help-investigate-Trump.html

Manhattan DA hires high profile 'mob lawyer' who prosecuted Gambino boss John Gotti to help investigate Trump's business dealings

Mark Pomerantz joined Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr's team as a special assistant district attorney earlier this month

Pomerantz brings decades of experience prosecuting and defending white collar crime cases to Vance's investigation of Donald Trump's business dealings

He served as chief of the criminal division in the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York from 1997 to 1999

During that time he helped take down Gambino boss John A Gotti

Pomerantz then moved to private practice, where he specializes in RICO cases

His hiring is part of a flurry of recent activity in Vance's investigation of Trump

Last week Pomerantz interviewed Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen

[Brother Buzz]

17. And what's NOT in the returns could be just as illuminating

I suspect a competent forensic accountant could find a boatload of red flags on shit that was conveniently omitted.

[wnylib]

33. How much will we see?

They are supposed to be kept private by the investigators and not released to the general public. I'm sure that we will learn something of what's in the tax forms, based on what charges might eventually be brought, but it could be a very long time before the general public knows what is in them.

[fwvinson]

39. I'm betting we will see these tax returns soon. Leaks seem to be

profitable to these fellas.

[Midnight Writer]

7. What is a disgrace is that this simple decision took years.

This matter should have been disposed of long ago.

[Goonch]

8. ;-{)

[BSdetect]

12. Imagine once found guilty that all his assets are seized. Hope there are no deals.

[FakeNoose]

14. They're getting only 8 years of Chump's tax records

... and his casinos did their money-laundering (for the Russian mob) almost 30 years ago. So what is Cy Vance actually going to find? The tax records must be hiding something big, otherwise Chump would not have been fighting so hard. Curiouser and curiouser.

[fwvinson]

41. What makes you think they, Russians, are not bagging laundry now on the Trump acct.?

[FakeNoose]

47. Whatever income he has now is being triple scrutinized

It's the activities that took place before he ran for president that he can't explain and he can't change. Also Michael Cohen has told us that Chump's income is understated by a lot to avoid taxes. His profits are overstated by a lot to qualify for bank loans.

[Grasswire2]

15. Al Capone did eleven years in prison for tax evasion. nt

[SWBTATTReg]

16. For someone only paying $750 supposedly in taxes, I suspect...

massive, illegal deductions, that consist of massively contrived numbers.

[patphil]

18. They got Al Capone on tax evasion.

This could be how Trump falls also.

[Mr. Ected]

19. The American people deserved this information to be made public 5 years ago

We went through 2 election cycles and he was miraculously protected by laws that had never existed in the past and would certainly not exist if applied to Joe Biden.

We can talk all we want about protecting and preserving our democracy, but until there is TRUE equal justice under the law, most of this is just a charade.

[lame54]

20. We'll see

[MyMission]

21. Inconsistencies will abound

That's for sure.
He undervalued properties for taxes and inflated them for net worth and depreciation and losses claimed.

[Initech]

22. And the persecution card is right on cue!

God he is so damn predictable!

[calimary]

23. Oh PLEEEEEEEEEEEEZE Make It So!!!

[ffr]

24. Doubly impeached EX-pResident.

Fixed!

T---- is a word that is so vile so shameful, it should never to be repeated.

[erronis]

26. Wait, wait! Can't he appeal to NATO? Or the UN? Or the International Court of Justice?

Oh, wait. He's told all of them to go pound sand.

[Xipe Totec]

27. The End

[Harker]

31. Trumpsky has an edifice complex. n/t

29. Lock her up.....

You can not make this stuff up, they all chant lock her up...Flynn and Trump cronies spent time in jail. Looking more and more like Trump will too. Meanwhile Hillary will continue to enjoy her amazing life and family free as a bird.

[electric_blue68]

35. Closer & closer. Step by step. Inch by inch. I ...

sure hope he spends at least SOME time in jail!

Preferably MORE time me in jail.
Maybe even die in jail if he's there long enough.

A miserable human being who caused trauma, pain,
illness and death in our country, and probably elsewhere, too.

I will believe it when I see it. Money and power can buy you a lot.

[jalan48]

38. Yep, and the appointment of straight shooting Robert Mueller was going to be the end of Trump as well

[tikka]

40. unfortunately, I have to agree with your assessment.

[fwvinson]

42. If at first you don't succeed....try, try again

[Aussie105]

45. So take away the money and power?

And see what he really is made of?
(HINT: it isn't pretty.)

[Retrograde]

46. I'll believe it when it actually happens

Donnie has managed to wiggle out of a lot of tight spots in the past. For a start, his lawyers (assuming he can find any still willing to work for him) can argue that Vance is being vindictive because he was criticized for not being harder on the Trump family a decade ago.

[Blue Owl]

48. Bye Don!

You fat piece of shit...
