SCOTUS will not shield Trump records from Jan 6 committee

Trump may be the biggest loser in the history of the US legal system.

To quote many of my friends on the right: “what is he hiding?”

SCOTUS vote - 8-1

Supreme Court rejects Trump's bid to shield records from Jan. 6 committee


The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected former President Trump's bid to block a trove of his administration's records from being handed to the Jan. 6 House committee.

The ruling came in an unsigned, one-paragraph order. Justice Clarence Thomas, a staunch conservative, was alone in indicating that he would have granted Trump’s request.

The move clears the way for congressional investigators to receive a batch of Trump-era schedules, call logs, emails and other requested documents that the committee says could illuminate key circumstances surrounding the deadly Capitol riot.

The order leaves intact a lower federal appeals court ruling that found Trump’s assertion of executive privilege and other legal theories unpersuasive in light of President Biden’s refusal to invoke privilege, as well as the House panel’s pressing task.

The justices wrote that although the unprecedented dispute between a former president and lawmakers raised “serious and substantial concerns,” the Washington, D.C.,-based federal appeals court had suitably analyzed the issues at hand.

“Because the Court of Appeals concluded that President Trump’s claims would have failed even if he were the incumbent, his status as a former President necessarily made no difference to the court’s decision,” the court wrote.
... Good. .... Then there's NOTHING to stop next year's
investigations into the Biden family ties to Russia and China.

Thanks for the post!

Don’t you think Trump didn’t plan on this happening? Be careful what you ask for. They want to see if he enacted any PEADS

An indictment may or may not happen.


Mr Trump has been short on answering questions. Does that sound familiar ? So many right wingers wanting to promote a new conspiracy "theory" the last few days because someone didn't answer some questions. Quote from above "YOU ain't got SHIT!!".


Mr. Trump has been dodging for months.


Why did Mr. Trump not release tax returns ? What is he hiding ? This needs to be looked into.

he didn't have to. his isn't as rich as he claims and probably not what sources like Forbes estimate either. he has more debt than he wants others to know and not necessarily the public only. he doesn't want business rivals knowing his financial details

would you?

During a highly publicized case, the judge admitted as evidence Capone's admissions of his income and unpaid taxes, made during prior (and ultimately abortive) negotiations to pay the government taxes he owed. He was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. After conviction, he replaced his defense team with experts in tax law, and his grounds for appeal were strengthened by a Supreme Court ruling, but his appeal ultimately failed. Capone showed signs of neurosyphilis early in his sentence and became increasingly debilitated before being released after almost eight years of incarceration. On January 25, 1947, he died of cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke.

good thing you are a "wealthy trader wizard" because you'd be a terrible lawyer. any good lawyer would fight release of the details. and doing so does not show guilt or hiding anything.


nice try two bit wizard
I must agree with this from TWK:

would you?


I would just add he doesn't want he debt holders or the IRS to have any idea about actual cash flow. It was a bad move to be on public record back in the 2016 race saying "not paying taxes makes me smart". It does, if it's legal. It's damning evidence if you cooked the books.


But the underlying issue is, every President except him has shared this information. He's not the first wealthy President, so why would he want to hide information?


Maybe a better question is if Desuckis will declare Florida a Cuban territory and shield him from extredition? In all seriousness, I do think the Republicans will come out with a viable candidate without the baggage for 2024. I think I see one working on a play, and it might not be a bad choice for 2024. But, it's going to take a big move from the Trump Dumptruck.

Dude, take credit where it's given. I am most certainly not anti-Republican, as I've stated I am a long time Republican. I guess I could be considered somewhat Independent as I have voted across party lines, I've just always figured the country was better off with the best person for the job instead of a label they might have. AND if you read what I wrote you'd see I stated I see a sleeper candidate for the Republican's in 24. Just because it "isn't your boy" doesn't mean I'm anti-Republican. Buy a clue, hell I'll chip in to help purchase it if that helps.

If that makes some tin hats have a different opinion of me you can be sure I won't lose any sleep over it.
