Roberts: the two cases today seem similar but they really aren’t. One is about Congress and I might vote for Trump on that case. The NY case is different because there isn’t an ongoing relationship. Trump is toast on that one. Right?
Is that real? The SCOTUS thing? (EPOCH Times lol)
I don’t even want to get into what I think of anyone who thinks such things should be criminal.
Did we win?

Trump approval/disapproval worse (for us) than ever. Everything sucks.
Uncle blazer is that you?
Thanks for river man and rest doing scotus blog. I am a bit amazed the first really big case in front of a broadcast SCOTUS doesn’t have some elite white shoe tv lawyering. Instead it just seems like the laziest public defender is representing Trump.
Ginsberg: this 2,300 DA shit is ridiculous, right?
Lawyer: yes, there is zero basis for this fantasy that there will be a flood of abusive subpoenas. This notion there is an army of local prosecutors waiting to pounce is crap, they don’t even have jurisdiction. Very few additional prosecutors even have a basis to issue subpoenas. The assumption there is a reckless mania among local prosecutors is ridiculous and obvious nonsense. The limitation is the requirement for case-specific need, which can always protect the President.

LOL Alito: random NY Times blast, what a douche.
Kagan: this harassment talk is out of control. Trump is saying any subpoena undermines the President. That’s garbage, right?
Lawyer: yes, the court addressed this in Clinton. The claim of mental distraction is absurd, he doesn’t have to do anything if he loses this case. And blanket immunity doesn’t keep him from worrying or being distracted - look what he did when his former employees kept getting arrested and convicted. If the POTUS doesn’t want to be hurt politically, maybe he should try not being a criminal?

Major props to Riverman for live blogging this.
I like imagining they’re actually speaking in your terms, verbatim.

Grunching, but found a small bit of good news that may have already been posted here.
Riverman, after listening to this, when will trumps indictment come down?

Best case scenario for this scotus decision is perhaps in October? Trump will somehow get it pushed until after the election. He loses the election and then goes back to court arguing since he is no longer going to be president his records can not be released.
Voila… no records but no trump?
Or the same as above, trump wins election and my executive order makes the accounting firm part of the ececutive branch of the federal government and the documents remain locked away.
Notice it does not matter what scotus decides or that the onus is on a third party, we are still not seeing the tax returns.
I think Mazers is based in Germany. They have said they would release the taxes.
No idea if legit but Uncle blazer said if they do arguments now, the decision should be in a couple months.

Also in your first hypothetical, him not being president anymore would probably stop the house thing but wouldn’t stop the DA-Mazars thing
We would invade Germany. GJGE
