Judge throws out Trump challenge to Manhattan DA subpoena for tax records
Source: CNBC
President Donald Trump's effort to fight a subpoena for his tax records issued by the Manhattan district attorney was rejected on Thursday by a federal judge in New York, handing another loss to the president in a high-profile case that has already made its way to the Supreme Court.
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said that the president failed to show that the subpoena would pose an unfair burden, siding in favor of Manhattan D.A. Cy Vance, Jr., who has said his office is pursuing an investigation of potential violations of state law.
This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

Once that financial information is made public he's finished. I'd wager that 50% of his die-hard Trump-thumpers will desert him when his financial crimes are made public. Everyone will see what an insane, traitorous, lying piece of scum he really is. His bullshit backstory is going to hell-in-a-handbasket. His ties to Russia will finally be laid bare.

(50,562 posts)First, I expect Trump to give Madoff one of his own-the-libs stunt pardons.
But more important, Trump wont be going where Madoff is. Madoff is currently in the prison hospital at Butner, N.C. When he recovers, hell be going back to Butner-Low. Trump is one of the people who has to be in Supermax Florence for his own protection. If they put Trump in a regular prison, hell be dead within 24 hours.

Yeah, it MIGHT be cruel to Bernie but it's certainly a violation of the 8th Amendment rights of ALL NC citizens to have to be associated with news reports that would go something like this, "I'm _____, reporting live from Butner, NC, where former president* tRump, is now being housed in the Federal penitentiary".😂

(50,562 posts)If Trump is indicted, the GOP should just concede the election at that point. Trumps base wont vote for anyone but Trump - they enjoy having a president who hates everything they do.
Dolt's diehard fans would certainly stay home in droves if milquetoast Rmoney...excuse me, Romney were to replace the Toxic Tangerine on the ballot.

This is very bad news for Trump.

Legal matters aside, we should all revel in the glory of footnote 1, which is poetry.
