Appeals court says House can obtain Trump's taxes from the IRS

(CNN)A federal appeals court on Tuesday signed off on a House Ways and Means Committee request to obtain former President Donald Trump's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service.

The 3-0 ruling from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is a blow to Trump, who has argued for years in court against releasing his tax returns to any investigators. A trial-level judge he appointed while president previously rejected his arguments in the case.

But Trump still could appeal, making the litigation unlikely to end at this time. The court said the judgment would not issued for seven days, giving Trump time to appeal. This litigation is separate from the House select committee's investigation into the January 6 riot.

The majority opinion, written by Circuit Judge David Sentelle, said that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal's request for the records was within the scope of his committee's inquiry, and the court also rejected Trump's argument claiming that the request had a retaliatory motive, making it invalid.

9. He's Winning By Losing...

In opposite world. 😂

But on a more serious note, Agent Orange is probably hoping his three corrupt, and illegitimate SCOTUS (in)justices will save the day for him. I have a feeling however, that the appeal will be turned aside, with Clarence "Uncle Slappy" Thomas and Scammy Alito voting to hearing it (and writing opinions as to why they should have). They might be joined by Amy Covid Barrett or Beerbong, but I don't see more than three of them. In the end, the appeal gets turned aside and Neal gets the tax returns and tRump puts out a statement on Twitter, blasting Neal, the Democrats, and a corrupt SCOTUS, etc., etc., ad nauseam.

10. How many times can this guy appeal a judgment?

Seriously?

12. Seriously? Twice more...

En Banc to the entire Court of Appeals, and then to the Supreme Court. Doesn't mean either will accept the case.

Though it does beg the question when politicians plan on closing loopholes on dragging out courts like this.
