Welp, Trump loses in New York over his tax returns. Lucky he's stacked the Supreme Court

But as soon as he's done with the audit, of three years, he'll release tax returns.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Mon 7 Oct 2019 - 9:24

it's clear he doesn't want America to see how wealthy he is and how much money he donates to christian charities.

I admire his humility.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers sued last month to block the subpoena, arguing that the Constitution effectively makes sitting presidents immune from all criminal inquiries until they leave the White House. The lawyers acknowledged that their argument had not been tested in courts, but said the release of the president’s tax returns would cause him “irreparable harm.”

DRAIN THE SWAMP. LOL

I guess I'm just not rich enough to understand how above board tax returns reflecting legal and moral business dealings with other upstanding entities, could cause one "irreparable harm".

Haven't you ever heard of an embarrassment of riches? That's clearly what we're dealing with here, Trump just wants to protect his modesty. What other explanation could there possibly be?

Never thought that the nation would need Chief Justice Roberts to save country from joining China, Russia and multiple 3rd world countries where the executive has total control of the justice system, military and national intelligence with no forms of oversight.

Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump on Friday lost his appeal to stop a House subpoena of his tax documents from his longtime accountant Mazars USA.

In a 2-1 ruling, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a lower court ruling saying the firm must turn over eight years of accounting records.

So, we already know where this is going, right?
Eventually the taxes will be subpoena'd... it will show he was "broke" prior to The Apprentice... and he did inherit most of his wealth... and everything the NYT has reported about his financial situation is true. ie. He lied on his taxes, cheated at every turn... And none of it will matter. The dipshits think that is admirable.
It's almost a non-story. Not like the state of NY will jail a former president for tax evasion. (...and if they do, Jan 6th type violence will ensue)

Nailed it.

Given a significant % of Trump true believers are also QAnon true believers, facts that come out in court documents will not matter. Trump personally and through his attorneys will deny anything and everything until he dies.

I suspect the conclusion will follow the McConnell blueprint used in the 2nd impeachment. Delay, delay delay then claim there claim NY State can’t proceed because the statute of limitations has expired.

by **kingstonlake** Mon 22 Feb 2021 - 11:53

I thought there was no statute of limitation on tax fraud?

Could be they’re sick of his shit too.

Trump rants about Supreme Court (shame he had no input on who sits on it) and whines that this has never happened to any president.

Well, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe it is because no president has ever had such questionable financial dealings AND refused to release his taxes to investigators. Just a thought.

Did you guys know that Trump could shoot his tax accountant on 5th Avenue and his cultists would join the NRA?

And when charged, he would cry that it is a political hatchet job because no former president has ever been charged with murder.

The Representation is Prohibited by Law. CRPC 1.7(d)(2) provides that representation under CRPC 1.7 is permitted only if the informed written consent of all affected clients is obtained “and . . . (2) the representation is not prohibited by law.” This prohibition is straightforward; lawyer’s are sworn to uphold the law. See Bus. & Prof. C. §§ 6067; 6068(a). For a lawyer to engage in a representation prohibited by law would be a continuing violation of the lawyer’s oath regardless of client consent. An example of such a representation is found in Business and Professions Code § 6131, which provides former prosecutors are prohibited from consulting with the defense in a matter in which they were personally involved as prosecutors.

No, their boss did.

Their resignations came after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg suggested he had "doubts about moving forward" with the case ...

The DA is an elected position and Vance didn't run. This is his replacement.

Vance was the DA of Manhattan, New York City, until he decided not the seek election again.

Alvin Bragg is the new DA of Manhattan, New York City.

It looks like the Trumps have bought off the Matthaean DA.

Liberal Blogger wrote:In October, ProPublica, WNYC and The New Yorker reported that Vance had overruled prosecutors who wanted to bring felony fraud charges against two of the president’s children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The office had been investigating the two for making misleading statements as their father’s company attempted to sell apartments in a struggling condominium and hotel in downtown Manhattan called the Trump SoHo.

New York prosecutors were preparing a case. Then the D.A. overruled his staff after a visit from a top donor: Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz.

During the investigation, in 2012, Vance met with Donald Trump’s lawyer Marc Kasowitz. Kasowitz had donated $25,000 to Vance for his first re-election campaign. Vance returned the donation before the meeting. Then he declined to prosecute anyone in connection with the investigation. A few months later, Vance accepted more than $50,000 from Kasowitz and lawyers at his New York firm, Kasowitz Benson.

Has Bragg done the same thing as Cy Vance?

It does, and furthermore, in civil cases, which this is, the law says that pleading the 5th can be considered an admission of guilt.
