One Of Trump's Own Judges Just Stabbed Him The Back On His Tax Returns

[634-5789]

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has ruled against the former president’s bid to hide his tax returns from Congress.

Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee to federal District Court in D.C., said Trump was “wrong on the law” and that Congress is due “great deference” in its inquiries. “Even the special solicitude accorded former Presidents does not alter the outcome,” McFadden wrote in a 45-page ruling. “The Court will therefore dismiss this case.”

1. As Nelson Muntz would say: "HA HA!"

Though following the law isn't specifically betraying Trump. Though it pleases me that Trump probably thinks it is. lol

2. The Judiciary seems to be the line in the sand protecting

the country from fascism.

The Trump appointed judges are taking their jobs seriously and refusing to be owned. We saw this when they handed him his ass with all his bullshit election lawsuits. Now he his losing all of his “hide my taxes” lawsuits. He is finding out there are limits to his mob boss Cosplay.

3. Upholding the Rule of Law isn't backstabbing

Most of the time, judges take their jobs seriously and follow the law. Judge McFadden clearly did that in this case and pointed out that Trump had no argument to win the case.

The courts may be the powerful force to buttress our democracy and help to preserve it.
