In reply to the discussion: SCOTUS: CONSTITUTION DOESN'T PROHIBIT CRIMINAL SUBPOENA OF THE PRESIDENT (7-2) [View all]gab13by13
(21,264 posts)52. Cy Vance was just on cable news
saying that his case was going to proceed. Neal Katyal was on cable news saying that the New York case could happen before the election. Once a trial starts then, I believe, that trump's financial records will be subject to disclosure. Trump will still fight the release of his taxes etc., but according to Katyal he won't have a leg to stand on and the case should proceed quickly.
With that said, Katyal is the only expert who feels that the NY case can happen before the election.

Alito and Thomas...so even Kavanaugh doesn't think the president is about the law.

On the bright side, this leaves it open for Biden to use as a campaign weapon.

7-2 is a pretty impressive margin. If it had been a 5-4 split it wouldn't have meant as much.

Maybe so but Obama was right all along. And the Russian money flowing through the NRA is proof.

It's all in the details of how the House request was worded, and then in Trump's lawsuit

Absolutely! There is no absolute immunity in Article II. There is no immunity provided period.

The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they do grind, and grind, and grind, slower, inch by inch.
