Trump Is On Borrowed Time As He Only Gets A 1 Week Delay On Tax Returns Hearing

Trump tried to sue New York to block prosecutors from getting his tax returns, but he only got a one week delay.

According to Politico:
Just hours after President Donald Trump sued to block a subpoena seeking his tax returns, he secured a temporary reprieve.

Manhattan’s top prosecutor agreed Thursday to at least briefly suspend the subpoena, pending the results of a court hearing.

With the subpoena, District Attorney Cyrus Vance had been seeking eight years of Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns as part of a wide-ranging investigation into hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign. The subpoena was initially filed late last month.

His tax returns are going to be turned over, and while they are a political timebomb, the Trump family’s bigger problem is the potential criminal prosecution for filing false tax returns that is waiting for them in New York.

Trump could be the first president in history to go from the penthouse to the state pen. - PoliticusUSA

Tic-toc.

[Faux pas]

1. I'm doing a tiny

gleeful dance right now

[pangaia]

2. "Trump could be the first president in history to go from the penthouse to the state pen"

Right. THAT'S going to happen...

6. I can only hope that we're the one's laughing in the end.

3. Which means he'll do ANYTHING to stay in power another 4 years

And avoid prosecution.

Stay sharp, because the most dangerous animals are cornered, wounded ones.

4. Good point. n/t

5. The State of New York can prosecute him

Just not the Feds. That would be very interesting to see if NY indicts him for filing fraudulent business records.

please oh please oh please oh please......

[ffr]

7. They are serious enought to subpoena the returns.

I'd imagine they are serious enough to prosecute based on the findings.

[leftieNanner]

8. ABSOLUTELY!!!

Everybody is determined to get this stuff, and somebody will succeed!

[NickB79]

11. I don't believe he can be indicted or prosecuted while in office

Per long-standing procedures: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-indictment-explainer/can-a-sitting-us-president-face-criminal-charges-idUSKCN1QF1D3

Once out of office, either through losing in 2020 or being impeached later, however, he's fair game.

Also, his children would be fair game NOW.

9. He hasn't lost any case yet I bet

he gets out this too. He seems to be totally immune from any laws.

10. Is the IRS turning them over or Trumps accountants? Nt

12. Only One Reason To Fight This

It has to be full of lies and distortions or he wouldn’t fight it so hard.

I want so much to eventually, and sooner rather than later, see this Orange lying fraudster in a matching Orange Jumpsuit.
