Anybody with a lick of common sense will know this is not over. Trump is not going to say...OK, here ya go. More than likely this will go to the Supreme Court quickly, since they started a new session today, and they will see it for what it is..political
"The Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., has been investigating whether any New York State laws were broken when Mr. Trump and his company reimbursed the president’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael D. Cohen, for payments he made in the run-up to the 2016 election to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels , who had said she had an affair with Mr. Trump."
Sounds much more like a fishing expedition to me.
Why would the DA need 8 years of tax returns to investigate payments made to Stormy Daniels in 2016?
Democrats can't get Trump's returns, so they are trying every trick in the book.
He is? Why does the NYAG have to go to court to get his tax returns when you apparently already have them? Maybe you can do him a favor and turn them over to him. No court fight required.
Granted, it was an elaborate, innuendo-driven lie that many people repeated endlessly, trying to get you to believe that there was a scandal.
But it was still a lie, and a damaging one at that.
The reason to revisit this issue now is that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) issued a report last week that showed that the supposedly scandalous behavior never happened. In other words, the central lie behind this non-scandal has been definitively undermined.
Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts in federal court , saying he made illegal campaign payments at the direction of "a candidate for federal office" — a candidate Cohen's lawyer s ays is Trump . The term "unindicted co-conspirator" was used by the Watergate grand jury to describe President Nixon's role in the scandal that ultimately cost him his presidency. The plea deal has prompted the question: Can a sitting president be indicted?
The federal prosecutor in New York declined to indict Trump in the Stormy Daniels affair even though Cohen seemed to directly implicate him in a crime.
The assumption is that the federal prosecutor was following the same DOJ guidelines that kept Mueller from indicting Trump for obstruction of justice, namely that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
The state d.a. is not constrained under that DOJ ruling.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with describing Trump as a criminal. There are plenty of criminals around who are still awaiting justice.
And why would an Obama spokesman call IRS actions wrong then, if absolutely nothing was wrong? That is extremely illogical, and begs the question of why do you believe that shit you are now peddling?
Why would the IRS settle in court after being sued by conservative groups?

keep on fighting a losing battle if you must, but the real truth is out there and available if you simply choose to look at it.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions Announces Department of Justice has Settled with Plaintiff Groups Improperly Targeted by IRS
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced today that the Department of Justice has entered into settlements, pending approval by the district courts, in two cases brought by groups whose tax-exempt status was significantly delayed by the Internal Revenue Service based on inappropriate criteria. The first case, Linchpins of Liberty v. United States, comprised claims brought by 41 plaintiffs, and the second case, NorCal Tea Party Patriots v. Internal Revenue Service, was a class action suit that included 428 members. Attorney General Sessions released the following statement about the cases:
Aw, damn. A federal appeals court judge just ordered a stay in favor of Trump for liberal political hacks to keep their dirty hands off Trump's tax returns.
Who do you think is paying Trumps taxes for him? That would be you. Who do you think is paying for his bankruptcies and lawsuits filed by all the people he has stiffed? Again, that would be you.
Maybe you like being Trump's sugar-daddy, but I don't.

So, what was your share of Trump's taxes? How did you pay them?
Maybe you like being Trump's sugar-daddy, but I don't.
Trump has been donating is taxpaying salary back to worthy causes. Also, I have never heard of taxpayers paying for a business bankruptcy/foreclosure/personal lawsuits.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday granted President Donald Trump a last-minute reprieve in his effort to prevent New York prosecutors from obtaining his tax records.

Spank over the last 8 years, jackass.
a sweet gig for the secret service agents that get to protect him in the big house for the rest of his short life
They'll be stacked up like cordwood. Trump's definition of 'shit-hole' will be changing in the next 18 months.
I'll admit it. That is kinda funny.
Anybody with a lick of common sense will know this is not over. Trump is not going to say...OK, here ya go. More than likely this will go to the Supreme Court quickly, since they started a new session today, and they will see it for what it is..political
That's because he is a criminal.
Sounds much more like a fishing expedition to me.

Trump would be pulling the same shit against anyone he would have lost to and you know it.
He is? Why does the NYAG have to go to court to get his tax returns when you apparently already have them? Maybe you can do him a favor and turn them over to him. No court fight required.
And have failed every single time.
That is just a wild-ass guess. No proof in it.
We DO know for a fact that the IRS under Obama did target conservatives, though.
I don't recall hearing anything at all about the IRS under Trump doing any such thing. Enlighten me with a story and facts if I am wrong on that.
That would be a "no".

Right.
So the IRS apologized for doing absolutely nothing? THTA'S what you believe in your heart of hearts?

read the links.
Get it?
Loved YOUR headline where you just conceded that the IRS did something wrong and settled.
LMAO!
WTDF are you trying to argue--that the IRS did nothing wrong??
Whoo BOY!!!
Trump has never been convicted of any crime..
I do hope you are not suggesting he is the new standard of behavior to emulate.
Aw, damn. A federal appeals court judge just ordered a stay in favor of Trump for liberal political hacks to keep their dirty hands off Trump's tax returns.
Yet another deflate for libs...too bad.

Trump has bragged about paying zero taxes. There is still a budget that needs funding. If he isn't paying his share, then we are paying it for him.
Trump has been donating is taxpaying salary back to worthy causes. Also, I have never heard of taxpayers paying for a business bankruptcy/foreclosure/personal lawsuits.
Funny how I have scoured by pay stub over and over again, and nowhere does a deduction say "Trump's taxes". Are you telling a fib again, sister?
Does your pay stub also say "Military Industrial Complex" tax ,
or , do none of your tax dollars go to that either...?
howlost r u
Like millions and millions of Americans with no tax liabilities.
B.F.D.
It will be funded like all budgets have been funded. Things didn't magically change in government because Trump won.
Well, you got to 2....that's a start.
Perhaps he doesn't owe ant taxes. Many rich people don't thanks to tax breaks and well managed business affairs
I only do that in Confession.
I don't think anyone does. That study was handed back to the private sector ages ago.
Update - this was overturned -
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday granted President Donald Trump a last-minute reprieve in his effort to prevent New York prosecutors from obtaining his tax records.
The stay was issued not long after a federal judge rejected Trump’s claim that he was immune from criminal investigations in a bid to block a subpoena from the Manhattan district attorney seeking eight years of personal and business tax returns.
It will have to end up in the Supreme Court, probably not enough time to do that.
No story? Just the headline?
