Supreme Court won't halt Trump tax record turnover

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/22/politics/supreme-court-trump-taxes-vance/index.html

I dont see any mention in the article except for the earlier decision last year

That goes over well with those lemmings.

There's literally a conference called "So you've been deplatformed - now what?".

It should be more accurately titled "So you got banned for saying something racist or sexist or called for violence. Watch out - you might be on an FBI watch list!"

Let's hope SDNY is able to go the distance on this and actually bring charges against him.

who is investigating the case.

the famous phrase, “by and large….[district attorneys] could get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich.”

Guess who's going to be the ham sandwich, here?

I feel like this asshole finally got CUT, and bleeding some!!!!

It would take the greatest witch hunt to take down the greatest one, wouldn't it?

This allows the evidence to be gathered and submitted. The prosecutors can move forward with the case. Yes, he's a cheat and a fraud. That hasn't and will continue not to matter to those who adore him. But the legal ramifications from fines to incarceration became more readily available if a conviction can be garnered.

would be awesome!

to take him to court on a criminal tax charge.

My understanding is the supreme court is it. Maybe he could appeal again with some other angle but it seems this matter is settled

Before this is over, the republicans will declare cheating the US government as the most patriotic thing an American can do. They'll find vague references in the bible and recall some founders who dumped tea to avoid paying taxes. (never mind the details)

They already floated this during 2016 when Hillary accused him of cheating on his taxes. "It means I'm smart". Nary a Republican batted an eye.

Maybe it's worse than we can imagine.

Then again, our biggest problem has always been understanding stupidity.
All we CAN do is watch it, because it defies even our imaginations.

I was hosting a party late '70's (I was in my mid-20's), and there was this guy I met (friend of a friend, etc.), and the subject somehow came up, and he actually belittled me because I paid taxes. I was made to feel a fool, an idiot, in my own home by some smarmy wise-ass - and as I write this now, I recall the feeling that if more like him proliferate, the worse it's gonna get.

I'm proud to pay my taxes. It makes me part of the Grand Experiment. Of course I would love to pay less! But I have to trust that those monies are spent for the common welfare - even for shitheads like my party guest. What makes him smarmy and 'smart' is that he knows he's ripping-off everyone else and will still reap the benefits of society (or offshore accounts, if you're corrupt-yet-still-gets elected politician).

The 'smart' ones can hide behind so many layers upon layers of misdirection and rabbit holes of 'legality' and 'blind trusts' - so seeing the lid finally pried from his cold now-politically dead hands is most satisfying.

They put Capone on Alcatraz for tax evasion. I can't wait to see the worm wriggle on the DA's hook! What a fishing expedition that will be!

There will be no unity without accountability.

It would show interest paid but not to who. They'd have to ask him AGAIN for that info.

Probably the most recent years have been scrubbed clean. But go back 10, 15, 20 years and there will be all kinds of goodies to discover. Compare Chump's tax records against his profit-and-loss statements from the same years, THAT's where the real secrets lie.

is what was requested.

That IS good news!

CPAC -- Where domestic terrorism and sedition are institutionalized and "conserved" through their fallen dictator idol!

I view Trumpism as a threat to the entire free world, democracy, climate change battle, everything. We need to destroy the head of this evil snake.

Throw everything you have at Trump, criminally, civil suits, boycotts, financial pressure. He and his family must be brought down.

And that's a job for this 'Eliot Ness': https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142698700

he's still being blackmailed and this will probably expose his crap for a lot of years and "all" of those that were involved..........what color jump suit do you want white or orange with matching flippers...........

Funny, or, . . .

We have seen Al Capone's tax returns, but not Trump's.

We have not seen (former) President Trump's tax returns but we all have seen the First Lady's tits.

Strange.

Welcome to DU.

The article says: "Trump’s tax records are not supposed to become public as part of prosecutors’ investigation ..."

Doesn't this mean ONLY the prosecutor has access to records relevant to their case? What about the rest of the tax filings? If the records are not public, how can other potential charges be brought by other agencies?

To settle his estate.

I look forward to reading more about what this means. None of it if familiar to me.

Witch caught.

Unless there's an unexpected leak of Rump's tax records the public won't know, at least for now. This is the start of accountability for Rump's financial crimes though, and for that I'm overjoyed.

(snip)
In a one-sentence unsigned order, the court ruled that it would not step in to prevent the Manhattan district attorney’s office from obtaining eight years of Trump’s financial documents from his accounting firm.

The court’s decision clears the way for the documents to be turned over to a grand jury that has been convened as part of an investigation into Trump’s business dealings in New York.

getting his money's worth from the Supreme Court he bought and paid for. What's he going to do, demand a re-pick?

For real.

It is 6:45 morning in Hawaii and so what a great way to start the day--reading this, AND waking up in Hawaii.

You could call it the Jeffery Epstein loophole. He can't be tried post mortem.

that all 8 years of his tax returns are under audit by the IRS. Lindsey Q Graham will agree.

Your running is over and you're caught. good luck

at this juncture i'll just hold my breath till he's really indicted. NYAG's office seems to be moving very slowly. I have more hope with Merrick Garland taking the reins as USAG.

I think we should know, one way or the other.

Dunking stool!

and now, finally, " Donald Trump really does have a clue", says Stu...and, "It ain't pretty"

Well, amusing, but also very disturbing when you realize how they would like our system to function.

something is rotten in Denmark (sorry Denmark, your Country is beautiful per my nephew who lived there for a bit!). As an auditor, especially when faced w/ the fact even before we're looking at the tax returns, so much resistance is being thrown up, that obviously something is afoot.

Two big things to look at, invalid or illegal massive deductions and undeclared income, while not declared on the tax returns themselves, cross checking claims of income, w/ other outside declared sources of incomes and payout by companies (such as interest paid by banks to their depositors etc. vs. what trump claimed, etc.).

My gut is telling me that he's took massive, unsupported deductions, after all, he's full of hot air isn't he? And he signed the returns true, as true and valid.

is "TREMENDOUSLY" Pissed!
