It’s only Thursday…will there be anything left for Friday’s news dump?
Of course there will be, and why not, hardly time to digest the daily fire hosing anyway.

I thought the case was dismissed with Prejudice? Doesn’t that mean that Trump can’t appeal?

This has to stop - the court will find against him once again and he will simply refuse to comply. When he does, the judge should arrest and hold every person in the decision tree in contempt and lock them up.

Can someone who’s knowledgeable please tell me why Trump can’t just keep slapping down appeal after appeal for the rest of his life, until he dies of a hamberder clot?

A federal judge on Thursday rejected President Trump’s latest effort to block the Manhattan district attorney from obtaining his tax returns, roundly dismissing Mr. Trump’s arguments that the prosecutor’s grand jury subpoena was “wildly overbroad” and issued in bad faith.

The ruling by Judge Victor Marrero of Federal District Court in Manhattan marked another setback for the president in his yearlong legal fight to block the subpoena. The conflict has already reached the Supreme Court once and could end up there again if, as expected, Mr. Trump appeals.

The district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat, has been seeking eight years of Mr. Trump’s personal and business returns and other financial records as part of an investigation into the president’s business practices.

Judge Marrero dismissed the president’s argument that Mr. Vance had embarked on a politically motivated fishing expedition, saying in his decision that “established judicial process” did not “automatically transform into an incidence of incapacitating harassment and ill-will merely because the proceedings potentially may implicate the president.”

Have you ever had a “discussion” with a dyed-in-the-MAGA Trumpkin? The response is “oh, I don’t believe that”. They reject any and all data that conflicts with their core rightness.

Interesting point.

Based upon what we have now seen in Volume 5 of the Senate Intelligence Report, we can safely assume that whatever the worst case scenario is regarding Trump’s tax returns is the correct interpretation.

How many times can detailed aspects of this case be unpacked, reviewed & repacked … before there is some massive leak that gets spilled out in all directions - in a non-recoverable way …?
… the spilled ink that will never go back in the bottle …

Yep. It was all a reality-TV ploy to jump-start his new “news” channel.

Then Trump’s family and friends revealed to him that all his other scams were peanuts, compared to the billions in cash he could steal from Uncle Sam.

And he was happy again…

Well, he didn’t expect to win, but once committed… like most con men, he thinks he’s way too clever to get caught.
