A federal judge upheld a congressional subpoena seeking President Donald Trump’s financial records from an accounting firm, dealing a blow to the president’s efforts to resist Democratic investigations.

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta’s ruling means that Mazars USA must comply with the House Oversight and Reform Committee’s subpoena for eight years of Trump’s financial records, though the president is certain to appeal the ruling.The president filed suit last month to block the subpoena, arguing that it amounted to an abuse of congressional authority.

The President or anyone else should never be above the law

I don't know why it's taking so long to impeach trump. All the illegal things that he is doing. If this had been Obama he would have been impeached for looking like he was trying to stop investigation.

The corruption from the leftovers still lingers like a dog fart in a small room.

🤣

Yes! Karma does exist! 🙏🏼💥⚡️

Djt's recent ct. losses in subpoena fights in Oct only highlights that AG Barr acts as djt atty., giving him bad advice. He tells djt what he wants to hear. Barr has joined the conspiracy. He too must be impeached. AllMustGo ImpeachmentInquiryNow

THIS---IS BANANAS B- A-N-A-N-A-S!

Who is next. Reg citizens

Yes!

Garlands case happened under Obama . 2007 Bush got to pick a SCOTUS but Schumer said no way. Now that being said, let’s see if Garland is a man of the Robe or a Democrat.

There is something divine about this decision heading to Merrick Garland. It makes me smile.

If you put this in a screenplay for a movie the critics would say it was a contrived fiction, a work of pure imagination from writer and not in a good way. The fact that it’s really happening shows you that the universe is demanding justice.

The statement, 'The president's recent efforts to resist Democratic investigations' alone shows how STUPID the democratic party has become! HOW ABOUT TRYING TO LEGISLATE WE THE PEOPLE need MORE WORK AND MUCH LESS BS out of Congress! Trump is not going to lose his base, face it!

Zzzz'sssss It can be appealed to the SCOTUS. If he loses there... ...So what? This is just another holy grail expedition on behalf of the DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Nothing is going to happen. Trump2020 🇺🇸

Meanwhile

A Ha 6 degrees of separation...karma bite you back..serves him right

😂😂😂😂😂That 🤡is in trouble😂😂😂😂🎪

I think Merrick Garland would show a lot more respect for the rule of law than the Republicans showed him in refusing to even interview him as a show of respect as a nominee for the Supreme Court.

It will eventually go to the Supreme Court...

AllCongressReleaseTaxReturns

Democrats are such a joke. If we want to see tax returns it wouldn’t be a billionaire businessman, it would be the swamp creatures in Congress and Senate. Show us yours Feinstein and Pelosi and we’ll show you ours.

The irony!

Credible proof that there is a God!

Good. ..finally!😀

This is McConnells worst nightmare!! The greedy turtle deserves to be impeached & locked up for his dealings with Russia

Not an investigation

It is funny how things play out

Oh sh......................................T!

It sure is nice to see karma!

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the news report about it over and over. Especially whenever it was pluralized. The juvenile part of my brain could not help but hear ‘some penis’ in place of subpoenas. I giggled and snickered ALL MORNING!😂🤣 Subpoenas TrumpTaxes

Weep what dtrumpo sow😂😂😂

LIBERAL JUDGE NOT FAIR OBAMA BOY

It’s only revenge . You have no character. Glad you didn’t replaced murdered Scalia.

Oh..It's

A blow to the President’s...whatever. Politico is tabloid news. And you demand respect? You deserve to be despised.

ImpeachmentInquiryNow

This is HORSESH*t! We couldn't get BHO's Transcripts! They were SEALED. Yet they want Trump's Taxes?Congress should have their tax returns made Public; specifically those who have become Millionaires AFTER entering Congress! These are the Most CORRUPT Politicians in our History.

Say what?

Total waste of time!! Bias reigns

Only Obama's loser would do this.

And then on to the Supreme court where guess who will be the deciding vote

Politico helping destroy America

Let's take a look at ALL the returns of the nay sayers returns also,keep it fair.

Can anyone say conflict of interest? Will he recuse himself or do what Democrats always do and seek revenge.

Of course he did. He followed suit with the other obstructionists. Hypocritical when they don't do it to the Democrats but turn around and do it to the Republicans every time one is in office. Sad to see so many Godless people voting for racist Dem party started by the KKK.

Gotta love Karma 😀

This is where it should end . And stop the BS court to court crap it’s a game with these lawyers and crooks . The people want to know the truth not how far can we take this hide and seek paperwork . Just by trumps actions should be enough if your not guilty you don’t act like thi

Amazing! Is one bit of incredible news ! Maybe Merrick Garland will get his Justice back against drumpfffF and Mitch mcturtle

FffffffffYES

Lmao! Mueller.... nope nothing, I guess it’s back to his Tax returns and over feeding fish.

I kind of think he’s upset because everyone will learn he’s not so rich. That would be the supreme embarrassment for him.

I guess we’re going to know just how many trucks Trump. An make this court do. sitfidosit

This order is unlawful and anticonstitutional! A blatant disregard for the 4th Amendment. SCOTUS must intervene on behalf of all Americans.

Dem subpoena Dem judge! Plain and simple. It's all about Dem Obamanation no god, not US 🇺🇸 ONE Nation Under God!

Well that's bullshit.

There is no collusion why the hell should they get his finances? We want pelosis fiances! We want nadlers, schumers, that fat fuck cummings! We believe they are getting money from special interests! How the hell did they all become millionaires working in congress for 20 years?

💪

On to Garland for appeal😂

Stupid Democrats demanding realDonaldTrump’s financials as a private citizen. For what?! Let them set that ridiculous precedent & end up having to show their financials. Democrats are so desperate & not very bright. 🤪🤡🤪🤡

👉😂😂😂😂LOL...KARMA FULL CIRCLE...4 Orange Swamp Thing...😂😂

Who cares. At the end, it is the Supreme Court that RULES

Well Garland will rule on principles not vengeance unlike Judge McMickey BeerChug. I still like beer.

What goes around comes around. The “lucky charm” of Trump Cronies are on the ropes. When is all clear the FACTS will prevail. The constant pressure bubble of lying is about about to ne revealed

Trump called Mehta’s ruling “ridiculous” and “totally wrong.” Zero respect to the judge. Putins puppy.

🤣😂

BreitbartNews Take it to the Supreme Court instead of Biased Liberal Garland. realDonaldTrump msnbc cnn

This will be another fair process for our President realDonaldTrump Democrats are destroying America with this BS investigation. Why don’t we have RepJerryNadler and AdamSchiff investigating joebiden and his son’s benefits from foreign countries helped by Obama msnbc cnn

Good it will go to the supreme Court and be made precedent and the big lie that you have been spreading in the last two-and-a-half years will be over. The spies will be found the key players will be punished. Stop telling lies will go to

What a waste of money, Democrats why don’t you work for the sake of people who elected you? Turning blind eye on how great the economy is by harassing the Trump on every single move.

Good luck with the supremecourt and just wait until Ruthy dies. leanright

This should be over quick!

⏱⏱⏲⏰

People still care about this? Sheesh.

It will be rejected by the Supreme Court. We should really be getting the financial records of Biden and his son Hunter. They pillaged China and Ukraine for millions based on reporting. Biden is even on camera bragging about blackmailing the Ukraine people to stop investigator.

Isn’t Karma Amazing/

The Democrats are after POTUS financial records. Who cares? Trump voters will not be swayed. Dems have no policy for 2020Election

Metric is a conflict of intrest

🙄

Wait, is that karma’s entrance music I hear?

Now that’s ironic

An Obama Judge 🤔

If he were a vindictive judge that would “pay someone back” for not being confirmed for the Supreme Court then it means he didn’t have the temperament to be on it to begin with.

I just don’t understand why our president continues to break the law? Our presidents release their records and taxes.

Congress has oversight over gov money. Why does Congress have authority to demand records from another co-equal branch of government, when it does not involve gov money?

Hope.

Nope.

It won’t happen. Why make it sound like this is a grounding blow. Maybe you haven’t noticed but Trump is one tough customer and by this he won’t skip a beat.

We have asked the Whitehouse, Donald Trump, and Congress to, Begin Criminal Proceedings Against US District Chief Judge Colleen McMahon, For Aiding, and Abetting Bank Robbery In The Theft Of Over $ 250 Million Dollars of Publishing Rights From, Bluegrass & Cadillacs Records.

We’ll find out if garland merrick can prove himself non partisan. What do YOU think?

The White House can’t compel a Member of Congress to visit the Oval Office, and Congress can’t compel a President to appear on Capitol Hill. The same goes for senior White House advisers who are agents of the President and whose candid counsel he needs to fulfill his duties.

Appeal x 100 This stuff was reviewed by Mueller. This and tax returns. It would be normal. However it is a Violation of civil rights to be forced to show finances for other than criminal investigation which was done and he was absolved. There is no legal reason to request it.

Let me guess. The judge from Hawaii. Who knew. This will never pass appeal

Meanwhile......

The idiots cheering on this thread is comical! They’re like hamsters on a wheel! 🙄😂

His base will still say, 'Yeah but...'

That's ok. Democrat cockroach politicians will scurry around in the daylight and blow the top off another one of their cover-up jobs in the meantime. TRUMP2020

Well goalllly.

Karma. It’s real.

I'm sorry, but you can't right this kind of shit!! 😂🙃😂😂

Wonder who put that together. Maybe he should (what’s the word the democrats use) recuse himself. Sad piece of work.

How much bitching & whining about how unfair everyone is will we hear from Despicable Don when Merrick Garland denies his appeal?

The irony of it!

Let’s follow thru with these conspirators wishes and demand every Cingressional member produce these same financial records as Trump be forced to do. Start with Schumer white fureign campaign contributions came from where and how much?

More ammo for the corrupt DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Dangerous time in our Republic when politicians can use the law twisted for their personal political gain. These Democratic conspirators are a worse threat to you & I than Iran, illegal aliens or Russia. Funny how Obama skirted these same traitors. Nadler & Schiff defy your vote.

Trump thinks his position as POTUS is all about him. It isn’t.

KLE1967 Trump’s continuing efforts to resist investigation & hide his financial info in face of subpoenas IS obstruction GOP. Country before party! Laws before trump! Find spine & integrity like justinamash. Time to stop GOP corruption.

Investigations?Yeah right more like dumpster diving trying to find a morsel of garbage to use to attack Trump.Enough Sedition,wake up.Can’t you see the coup ? Haters of Trump what will happen to a Dem POTUS when they get elected?Your party is setting precedents. Reap what you sow

So, we will see if Garland is a political hack or if he truly cares about rule of law. I suspect the former.

How deep does the swamp go.we have corrupt Judges where do you go to get justice ?.

And that’s how a tyranny works for the regular folks. Out there for everyone to see see. The 2 tier justice system, that’s how the swamp works.

this country is in serious jeapordy when corrupt politicians can weaponize a court to overthrow a duly elected president!!! sad americans are allowing this circus to go on and pathetic they think they are doing the work of people when actually covering their own ass!!!!

So?

now why in the hell do they have a right to any records of a private us citizen? before he was president and without any probable cause whatsoever

It's weak, the Democrats don't have anything on the president. His finances aren't anyone's business. Like mine or yours. Democrats are just fucking sorry. And just can't admit defeat.

When did politico become propaganda toilet paper?

Biggest conflict of interest in the history of the United States.

Karma MerrickGarland

This will not make one bit of difference. TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good. F them

If we couldn't get Obama's citizenship records, we're not getting Trump's tax records 😂

Is the right word Karma or Irony ?

Democrats acting like children in front of Our Nation.

All of this is just like 2016 all over again and again these people just can not believe the truth because it is not what they want it to be so sad for our country a d just think we are paying these people

Why are people acting like this matters? If he loses he will appeal to supreme court..

This could be a good thing! I am pretty sure Garland is going to rule against the administration!

POTUS WhiteHouse PressSec jorgeramosnews ananavarro Acosta AprilDRyan ChrisCuomo

And MerrickGarland is sooooo unbiased! Lmao

These Dems are sick & Nuts. The taxes have no relevance to his presidency- which he commenced in Jan 2017. Any prior tax data before campaigning has no valid accountability; bcuz he was a private citizen. Therefor, it cannot be used aginst Trump while he is a sitting President

Sweet Revenge 😄

It all comes down to men and their dicks, who got slighted, who didnt get the job. I welcome more real men like President Trump who gets the job done everytime.

The point of the congressional inquiry is not to find answers to questions. It’s to hurt the President and do oppo research. It’s a joke.

Yeah this Obama appointee will be fair and impartial...lol

There are no coincidences. Sigmund Freud

Looks like the judge joined da lynch mob!

This is absolutely ridiculous! There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that anyone needs to see financial records of our President or anyone else in this country. None of your business.

He must recuse himself. He is clearly biased.

I'm looking for serious relationsh my ex cheated on me had sex with my sister,,I need someone to cry on is shoulder need a date ,,my Gmail letty6402gmail.com

Demon-crat political games continues waste the taxpayers time & money. Putting politics above country. Disgusting

To realDonaldTrump attorneys... MerrickGarland

Remember folks, it could just as easily be you. Scary abuse of power by congress

larry_moyo Thats independent judiciary

rolla

obama judge ...UGH!

Politico what are your accounting record any Russian,or soros money any crime family’s contribute. Uh?

CAPAction And like in the past, they'll ignore the order. They all do. Nothing is going to come from any of this.

And then he wrote a 41 page opinion piece that set him up for his decision to be easily overturned, as it will.

Thank you

Boom!

The House needs to stop playing around and begin the Articles of Impeachment.

Duh. These are just tactics to delay the process as much as possible.

The Senate is opening an investigation into the finances of every House member based upon this ruling. Oh, and the Clintons and Obamas - not that any cares.

Are the Democrats just simply idiots? Trump has been audited manybtimes and anything found wrong has been corrected. This is just furthering the witch hunt to try and find something to remove Trump from office.

Just think this through. It opens so many doors 🚪 for requests on others. I don’t think anyone has to the right to them. Super sad we can’t get real legislative action in Congress

courts should stand.with congress...why? its in the effen constitution..

Bloody ridiculous.

AND EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN IN OFFICE That would BE GREAT.

An investigation in search of a crime. Should be done to all politicians.

Hahahaha Clutching straws I think

U won’t see anyone hanging themselves like how when they deal with the Clinton’s mob...and then it all comes to light another overreach with nothing to show for. Keep going dem

More dominoes falling...

And so it begins. The downfall beings.

One of those ignorant FISA judges?

democrats will never stop investigations unless they are being investigated

Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Intel community know or suspect Potus45 is a compromised dude

It's not over yet! We will head to the appeal court and the supreme Court! Thier we will finally win. Trump will win!!

A judge appointed by Obama not shocking
