They don’t need them.

I can't tell what the outcome of this SCOTUS case will be, but if realDonaldTrump's wealth were revealed a lot of people might be surprised. If the value of his NET WORTH (the key figure) were tradable I'd be shorting any number over $1bn.

They will, watch. To them he is a king. Above the law.

Is WSJ own by Democratics Fake News

If SCOTUS rules PresTrump must provide tax returns then Sen.McConnel must IMMEDIATELY DEMAND tax returns from SOH PELOSI, REP.NADLER, REP.SCHIFF and SENATOR SCHUMER. IMMEDIATELY DEMAND!

Well Nixon did have to turn over the tapes after all.

I don’t think Trump defense lawyers argued the case on immunity. I will be shocked in Supreme Court decides differently from historical cases.

А вы как думаете?

A subpoena? For personal records? What’s the charge or, better still, what crime was committed? We do have the 4th and 5th Constitutional amendments to consider. Where’s the due process?

The more Trump wants something quashed, the more I wanna see it. I gotta wonder if he and his cronies not embezzling from the federal government and others - if he's that defensive. If it acts like a criminal, then it probably is a criminal. Criminals lie to hide their crimes.

I must say, for a guy who has nothing to hide - he's sure fighting hard to prevent us from seeing his financial records. Obviously doesn't sound, smell or look good in any cases !!!

it is a shame that supreme court should review this case and it is a shame that a leader as power as US president should hide his income from the public. even kings will let the subjects know how rich they are .

Trump owes💰to all the Good Guys: Russians Chinese Turks Saudis

The walls are closing in on Trump's ' house of cards ' … for one who claims to have nothing to hide, the Donald seems determined to keep his secrets … all can easily be explained if one considers that Trump's fortune is all a fraud & built on such … my opinion ...

They’re afraid of the truth coming out because it’s nothing but dirt. That’s all the man does. They shoulda done this before the last election. How can we let such a conman run for the most important office in the country? Something is really wrong w American politics.

Trump is a coward.

they don't sound convinced by his argument!

Supreme Court hears arguments over whether Trump can keep tax records shielded from CongressAttorneys for President Donald Trump faced questions from the justices of the Supreme Court on Tuesday over whether allowing Trump to keep his tax records shielded from House Democrats would unconstitutionally limit the power of Congress to conduct investigations. Tough questions but still guessing Trump's Supreme Court will give him a pass. Putting on a good show, though. Nope. Anyone who runs, or serves, in public office should have to open their books to the PUBLIC! They work for us, they are paid by us, and they are elected by us! releasetrumptaxes And Sekelow is making it hard for anyone to think that there’s nothing incriminating in them.

Supreme Court justices raise concern about 'harassment' by subpoenas for Trump taxes, financial recordsNEW: A divided Supreme Court wrestled with the legality of sweeping congressional subpoenas for Pres. Trump’s personal financial records, raising concerns about potential for 'presidential harassment.' 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.' It’s not harassment, it’s your job. Release his taxes. Allow Americans to see who Trump really is. The Lying Crook! Divided? Sure it is. Another victory for Trump.

Explainer: What's at stake in Supreme Court fight over Trump financial recordsThe U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday considers three blockbuster cases concerning efforts by the Democratic-led House of Representatives and a grand jury working with a prosecutor in New York City to obtain copies of President Donald Trump's financial records. Trump has it bought and paid for. Probably the only thing he has ever paid for. Release the records and let the public decide if what they see is presidential or not. The fix is already in.
