Trump loses at Supreme Court - NY DA will receive Trump financial records.

SCOTUSblog's take:

This morning the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited rulings in the battle over efforts to obtain financial records belonging to President Donald Trump. By a vote of 7-2, the justices sent a pair of cases challenging congressional subpoenas for the records back to the lower courts for another look, holding that subpoenas involving the president must be subject to a tougher standard than the courts had applied. In a third case, in which the president challenged a subpoena by a Manhattan district attorney, the justices – again by a vote of 7-2 – rejected the president’s claim that he is always immune from state grand jury proceedings while he is in office. But the decision in that case does not mean that the financial records that the grand jury seeks will be turned over: The court sent the case back to the trial court and agreed that the president could still argue that complying with this subpoena would interfere with his ability to do his job. The upshot of today’s decisions is that the disputes are likely to continue in the lower courts for some time; even if the House of Representatives and the New York prosecutor ultimately prevail, neither Congress nor the New York grand jury will have access to the documents anytime soon.

Sorry i am for the constitutional protections afforded people to stop this sort of abuse.
why are you not for those protections?
 
Who knew that we would have a president who lives on Twitter just to insult people.

Well it's still going to take some time for the NY DA to get those docs. But the more people who handle them, the greater the chance of a leak, for sure. I mean, not even Trump can keep leaks from within his administration.

It is going to take months for the courts to rehear the cases and new arguments.
It will be simple. If documents have to be signed over then those that get them are responsible for not leaking them.

If they are leaked then those people go to jail simple as that.
they have a duty to protect that information from leaking.

So if it leaks they are 100% accountable.

You're actually for exactly the opposite of what the constitution and our laws say regarding this issue.

You're just emotional over this ruling and are lashing out.

Nobody gets anything until the appeals process is over. It will be far past the election.

how long before Donald Trump says that the returns turned over to the State of New York by Mazars are "altered" or "fake"?


you know it's coming (not much different than what Trump/Rush/Sean did on the birth certificate). i say it will happen within 4 days of them being turned over.


Bets?

Ill take it. Ill further bet that nothing will be found in Trumps returns. You guys act like Trump sits down on Turbotax and fills these things out himself

You and Turtle must be upset because you don't have a pair of Trump's undies to chew on today. Borrow them from someone.

Do you have anything to contribute to the thread topic, or are you only in here to beg for my attention? And a Kleenex?

Of course! He's not half as smart as Donald is. To you, I mean. You think Trump is a genius.

Never said that-I am just very confident Trump is smarter than Biden.

Just because lefties worship politicians doesn't mean we do. Your unbridled hatred of Trump is many times more intense than our support of him

Nobody wants to know about how much you love Trump, Turtle. You can share your man crush at the next Trump Fan Club meeting.
