Supreme Court justices raise concern about 'harassment' by subpoenas for Trump taxes, financial records

Leah Millis/Reuterson Tuesday wrestled with the legality of sweeping congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s personal financial records, raising concerns about potential for"presidential harassment" as Congress asserts power to obtain the information for help drafting ethics and anti-corruption laws.

The court also debated a New York grand jury subpoena for similar records sought by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. Justice Stephen Breyer noted the subpoenas were seeking"a lot of information and some of it's pretty vague," adding that"there may be burdens" imposed on the president by forcing his banks and accounting firm to produce them.

if this were related to Obama,it would be a 9-0 or 8-1 decision

Key word SEEMED.

Immunity from prosecution and immunity from investigation are NOT the same thing. Waiting and hoping.....

How divided? 5-4? 6-3? 4-4-1?

How can it be divided?

We are still waiting for Obama’s Birth certificate.

Y’all mind ya own business

'I'm the most transparent president ever, I'll show my tax returns very soon, very very soon' 'I have nothing to hide'

Divided? Sure it is. Another victory for Trump.

It’s not harassment, it’s your job. Release his taxes. Allow Americans to see who Trump really is. The Lying Crook!

Chief Justice John Roberts worried the House committees are claiming a 'limitless' ability to request private documents of a sitting president, while Justice Stephen Breyer noted the subpoenas sought 'a lot of information and some of it's pretty vague.'
