[b]'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 fight to block the subpoena.
‘The conflict has already reached the Supreme Court once and could end up there again as Mr. Trump’s lawyers quickly filed papers saying he would appeal. The legal wrangling means a decision is unlikely before the November presidential election.’[/b]
Just out of curiosity, why do you suppose Trump is so keen on keeping his returns from being “open to public scrutiny”? What is in them that might be most damaging to him? His connection to foreign governments? The fact that as a businessman he’s more a failure than he’d like others to know? That he paid virtually no taxes at all while intent on “draining the swamp” that is crony capitalism in Washington?
And, who knows, maybe someday they actually will be made available for all the rest of us to see.
Then we can compare what we think is spooking him from what he damn well ought to be spooked about.
