Judge throws out Trump challenge to Manhattan DA subpoena for tax records

[demmiblue]

Source: CNBC

President Donald Trump's effort to fight a subpoena for his tax records issued by the Manhattan district attorney was rejected on Thursday by a federal judge in New York, handing another loss to the president in a high-profile case that has already made its way to the Supreme Court.

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said that the president failed to show that the subpoena would pose an unfair burden, siding in favor of Manhattan D.A. Cy Vance, Jr., who has said his office is pursuing an investigation of potential violations of state law.

1. K&R!

[C_U_L8R]

2. Donald's not very good day.

Karma is a beautiful thing. Slow. But so beautiful.

[MFGsunny]

3. This! n/t

[KS Toronado]

36. Karma and Kamala are both beautiful things.

[634-5789]

4. YES! Nails in the tRump coffin to be sure!

This will speed up the indictments of the criminal tRump cabal.

[Gothmog]

5. Yeah

13. great line ...

"The judge calls Team Trump's litigation posture "as unprecedented and far-reaching as it is perilous to the rule of law and other bedrock constitutional principles on which this country was founded and by which it continues to be governed.""

[klook]

20. Great description of the entire Trump reign.

May it continue to fizzle.

[MyOwnPeace]

35. Just LOVE it......

when a judge takes the extra effort to tell them that they are being a$$holes and that their "arguments" are such bull$hit!!!!!

[redstatebluegirl]

6. Let the all caps rage tweeting begin!

Wow this and Bannon plus President Obama, Secretary Clinton and Senator Harris within 24 hours, he is going to stroke out.

[onetexan]

10. So much winning...he'll probably pop a vein.

[SergeStorms]

26. He's going to have the thumbs...

of an Olympic weight lifter by the time this week is through. Don-the-Con is nearing his Waterloo, and he's running out of roadblocks to prevent it. Once that financial information is made public he's finished. I'd wager that 50% of his die-hard Trump-thumpers will desert him when his financial crimes are made public. Everyone will see what an insane, traitorous, lying piece of scum he really is. His bullshit backstory is going to hell-in-a-handbasket. His ties to Russia will finally be laid bare.

[Tommymac]

37. I don't think the unwashed 30% will care. They will support Donnie until the Rapture occurs.

Unfortunate. A shame 'critical thinking skills' have not been taught in schools below college level for 40 years.

[stillcool]

38. don't know about that...

I never graduated, but the School of hard knocks has taught me more than I'd care to know.

[mucifer]

7. So how soon on the tax release?

[qazplm135]

16. He'll appeal

I'd expect at least a temp stay for the appellate process.

[lagomorph777]

24. He has already appealed all the way to SCROTUS and back down.

I think he's all out of options.

[qazplm135]

28. And it was sent back

Explicitly allowing him to raise other claims which is what this is. Of course he can appeal denial of those claims. The question will be how long those appeals take.

[onetexan]

8. Unfair burden? Even the judge can see the Idiot spends all his time tweeting

[lagomorph777]

25. Trump's golden tweet toilet suffers an unfair burden.

[klook]

32. Sometimes you have to flush ten, fifteen times!

[lagomorph777]

33. I'll bet Trump really does. He's so full of shit.

[Sanity Claws]

9. The good news keeps on coming

First, Bannon's indictment and arrest. Now this.
And it's only 10 AM!

[marble falls]

11. The noose is tightening. He will be going to prison. Would putting him in a cell with Madoff ...

be considered extra judicial punishment to Madoff?

[jmowreader]

27. Yeah, but don't worry, Trump won't be going there

First, I expect Trump to give Madoff one of his own-the-libs stunt pardons.

But more important, Trump won’t be going where Madoff is. Madoff is currently in the prison hospital at Butner, N.C. When he recovers, he’ll be going back to Butner-Low. Trump is one of the people who has to be in Supermax Florence for his own protection. If they put Trump in a regular prison, he’ll be dead within 24 hours.

[GB_RN]

30. Madoff is in the clink

in Butner, NC, which is about an hour away from where my permanent residence is. Yeah, it MIGHT be cruel to Bernie but it's certainly a violation of the 8th Amendment rights of ALL NC citizens to have to be associated with news reports that would go something like this, "I'm _____, reporting live from Butner, NC, where former president* tRump, is now being housed in the Federal penitentiary".😂

[Lonestarblue]

12. Wouldn't it be rich for the October surprise to be an indictment of Trump!

Barr’s planned release of his fake Russia report being investigated by Durham would just disappear into the dust.

[marble falls]

15. Mitt Romney is idling in the wings.

[jmowreader]

29. Not at all

If Trump is indicted, the GOP should just concede the election at that point. Trump’s base won’t vote for anyone but Trump - they enjoy having a president who hates everything they do.

[GB_RN]

31. Agreed

Dolt's diehard fans would certainly stay home in droves if milquetoast Rmoney...excuse me, Romney were to replace the Toxic Tangerine on the ballot.

[George II]

14. This and Bannon was arrested, only minutes apart. Who will complete the trifecta?

[riversedge]

17. Trump is going to need his bigly Binky!

[ResistantAmerican17]

18. I love the smell of drumph's ass whooping in the morning.

Smells like.......victory!

[gademocrat7]

19. Good news..

[lagomorph777]

21. Excellent! SCrOTUS has already rejected this.

So Trump is well and truly trumped here.

[dalton99a]

22. Kick

[slumcamper]

23. Such BAD NEWS today...

for Trump and MagaWorld!

--Bannon indicted!
--Tax ruling!
--Senate Intel Report on Russia simmering!
--QAnon!
--Polls!
--Simmering after Obama's evisceration!
--And heading to Scranton in Lackawana County, PA--LMAO!

34. Here's the Judge Marrero's decision throwing out Trump's challenge to Cy Vance's subpoena ...

Here's the Judge Marrero's decision throwing out Trump's challenge to Cy Vance's subpoena of his tax returns.

This is very bad news for Trump.

39. My wet dream of an october surprise

would be Trump's tax returns released to the public, Charges announced against him, Barr, et all, The majority of Senate Republicans jumping ship and endorsing immediate impeachment if he wins. Yeah, I know... It's a pipe dream.

[bucolic_frolic]

40. Until the records are publicly available

I'll suspect there is something akin to "The Holcroft Covenant" in German bank records. There's some piles of money from somewhere that we don't yet know about and that somebody seems to want to hide from public view.

[Maxheader]

41. I'm tired of f@!&*ng waiting...

You figure stumpy may be worried about losing assets...to the irs?

How far back can the tax nazi go ...and collect ?.....
