And Trump lost 2 more election cases (PA & WI) today too. The Supreme Court refused to hear them.

This is just the legal part. There's still the accounting part. The records could still be lost, destroyed, erased. I'd be suspicious. "No good data" might be a strategy, so scrambled no one can figure out what went on. Returns filled with addendums, refilings, valuations based on seasonality and economic and business conditions, fluctuating values based on maintenance and depreciation estimates. I'm expecting further wrangling.

Any case that Mr Vance brings, if he does bring a case, is going to need to be airtight and by the book. If the cases are good, the tax returns will be made public as soon as they are entered as evidence.That will not only be interesting to those who follow the reporting on the cases, the returns will show the public just how much Donald is really worth and that could sting him as much as losing a court fight. The resultant public meltdown would be epic.

The trick will be finding a jury without MAGAts on it. They'll lie about anything to protect Dear Leader, probably to the point of perjury. Look what they did for him on January 6.

The hard core base ( 35 percent of voters) are deplorables and/or stupid who are beyond hope. Perfect foils for a con man, liar and a cheat.
