(CNN)The US Supreme Court on Friday formally issued the paperwork that will allow the effort by a Manhattan district attorney to seek President Donald Trump's tax returns to proceed quickly.

While the court ruled last week that the President does not have broad immunity against a state grand jury investigation, it allowed Trump to file additional appeals to block the subpoenas for the tax returns.
However, the court's formal judgments are generally not issued for 25 days, potentially delaying the resumption of the lawsuit at the lower courts.
The district attorney asked for that time to be cut short, and Trump's attorney agreed. On Friday, Chief Justice John Roberts granted the request. Issuing the judgment will allow the legal case to continue more quickly.

1. This could be very important.

[Jarqui]

2. If Trump's attorney agreed, then they have something else

up their sleeve to delay it.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. AG has no authority over SCOTUS timing of paperwork nt

5. I saw that

[Hoyt]

3. Don't be surprised if he releases tax returns shortly before election, with

nothing startling in them. Anything damning would likely be in the details — actual checks or other payments and transfers, invoices, loan documents, contracts, etc. — that aren’t explicitly in tax returns.

6. It will only be damning when compared with the copies submitted for loans.

the numbers won't be the same

[Hoyt]

8. But that won't sink him, assuming they even have loan documents.

Wish it would, but it won’t. He’ll say here they are, and there’s nothing there. Those that want to, will believe him.

9. How do you figure that? If the numbers don't match, its fraud.

Fraud is illegal.

[Hoyt]

10. If they charged everyone with fraud who lied on loan apps, half the

country would be in jail.

11. Really?

Not that I've applied for tons of loans, and zero business loans, but I don't even get why anybody would lie at all, absent criminal INTENT.
Which, of course, is a reasonable suspicion in PINO's case.

[Hoyt]

12. Are there some creditors going after trump for misrepresenting on a loan application?

I too don't doubt trump would lie, but I don't know of anyone going after him.

Lying on a loan application won't take trump down.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. That Wasn't My Point, Hoyt

I was questioning your statement that half the people who ever took out loans lied on the application.
I put nothing past that wannabe gangster punk.

7. He'll delay by claiming his Dog ate the papers. Oh, wait.....

[Cha]

14. KICK!
