Trump again asks Supreme Court to shield tax records

[Lock him up.]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Tuesday filed an emergency request to the Supreme Court asking the justices to shield his tax records from a New York grand jury subpoena.

The filing from Trump’s personal attorneys marks the second time the president has asked the court to block Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance (D) from obtaining eight years of his tax records.

In July, the justices voted 7-2 to reject Trump’s argument that presidents have sweeping immunity from the criminal process, but said Trump could mount other legal objections in lower court proceedings.

Since then, New York-based federal district and appellate courts have roundly rejected Trump’s additional assertions that the subpoena should be blocked because it is overly broad and was issued in bad faith and designed to harass the president.

8. When they finally get a majority on the SC. Then, case closed.

6. Twitler's afraid of something

I'd bet there's quite a list of central European creditors dating back many decades.

But then I could be all wet because I've read too many Robert Ludlum novels like Apocalypse Watch and the Holcroft Covenant.

9. Money laundering and Insurance fraud will be at the top of the list

10. What happens

if the SCOTUS goes 4-4 on the issue? Will the appellate ruling that the tax returns be released stand in that case?

No wonder they're so eager to get Barrett on the Court.

11. Yep. Dictators tellin' the rest of govt what to do.

13. They didn't have to harass Biden, or Obama, or Hillary.

Why are they harassing Trump?
Next when they get it, he'll say they were spying on him.
