100% wrong. It was a crushing defeat for Trump.
False again—the courts can expedite the issue and probably will do so.
Sekulow is Trump’s personal attorney, so no one else is paying him.

They have to act like that. If they show their satisfaction then everybody will realize the huge break the SCOTUS gave Trump.

And now the pivot: We already cooperated. We gave them everything. We’re the most cooperative administration of all time.
Unless Vlad is contributing to the cause…

7-2 decision. So three members of your own “team” even think you’re full of shit.

Unless I missed something, I thought the NY case was final. Shouldn’t Vance be able to get the relevant records from Mazar’s today if he so choose?
Trump doesn’t care about about Constitutional principles. What Trump wants is to be able to maintain politically damaging information about his finances out of public view, and the court ruling has allow him to do it, until at least after the election. So yes is a clear tactical win.
Are you sure about this? Can’t it being paid from a “Defense Fund” where the major contributors are the sketchy businesses that have been receiving contracts build the wall or providing hydroxychloroquine or fake PPE to the government?

At this rate who thinks that the tax returns will make any difference in November?
He’s losing in a landslide right now in the polls.

Every bit helps and clearcut evidence of having committed fraud with either his taxes or lenders (within the statute of limitations) would be a great retort to his “Law and Order” pronouncements.

This is moving the goal posts. The point is that the SCOTUS is letting him hide information sought by Congress and Prosecutors for as long as he wants.
Goddamn it - not for as long as he wants at all. For as long as it takes the NY court to rule. Then he probably will appeal it but that timetable is not up to him.
@noonm - I don’t think it makes one bit of difference at this point. It might have back in 2016, but not now. Now he has a record he has to run on and it’s plenty full of shit.

He only wants it to delay for four months longer, even if the lower court rules tomorrow it will take more than that for the SCOTUS to hear the appeal.
It isn’t going to the SCOTUS if appealed - it goes to the state appellate court and it might go as an interim appeal which means it’s fast tracked.
But I still don’t think it matters one damn bit.
It does in the bigger picture. the Supreme Court is saying “No the president is not immune, but he can drags things in the courts for long enough to avoid paying a political price”.
That is not what the decisions said at all. Not at all.

He’s a faux American, anyway, so why would he care. But could Canada return his native province to the First Nations?

House Republicans on Thursday morning were quick to conclude that… was a “political” hit job.
Let’s all just keep in mind, these are the House Republicans, and have been since 1994’s ‘Contract With America’. They were Trumping before he became a Republican and continue to search for any lever of power, no matter how base, to further their own power.
The rats will start jumping from the ship, but it’s important to remember they aren’t doing so to save their Party from drowning, or bring sanity to their politics. It’s because they’re rats… its what they do.

OT, but Sullivan has requested the en banc review of Rao’s and Henderson’s idiocy in the Flynn matter…
Of course, that means Faux News needed to disinform their idiot target audience by making it seem like Sullivan was simply refusing to obey a direct appellate court order. Just look at the vehemence in the KKKomment boards if you’d like a sense of a fraction of a percent of the violence waiting to take to our streets when Trump loses…
