Also following this. I thought the ruling was due like last week. Why are we still waiting. In terms of which way it is going to go. I think the fact it has dragged this long has been a victory for Trump. I don't want to speculate on the outcome or even what would happen next either way it goes.

The rulings have been due for sometime and you are absolutely right about the delay in the decisions being a victory for the Trump camp. Many relevant, expert observers have been questioning the delays, as well, and much of it is down to DOJ (read Trump’s zealot AG Barr) interventions to drag out review (presumably until after the November elections).

We’ll supposedly have a “decision” tomorrow but, as I have alluded to in my previous posts today, that doesn’t actually mean we’ll get a *definitive* ruling.

And if we do have a definitive ruling, my guess would be it would not be the one all of us — and most of the country/world — want.

I sincerely hope I am wrong about that, though.

Mazars is a finance chasing thing?
Is there a legal justification for seeing the tax returns, by the way? I know it was standard practice, but is there a law about it?

Yes, the Mazars case is to decide whether Congressional oversight entities have the constitutional authority to issues subpoenas to Trump’s financial management team forcing them to handover financial documents from Trump and Trump industries. Deutsche Bank is similar, but relating to Trump creditors (DB, in this case, which has widely been reported to be assisting Trump with Russian money laundering, back channel / illegal financial deals, enabling foreign extortion and manipulation, and violations of the emoluments clause).

The legal basis would be constitutional oversight powers based on potential conflict of interest and violations of the emoluments clause of the constitution (among other statutes).

There are two tax return cases aren’t there?

Are they both out tomorrow?

Yes, there are two, but they have been officially consolidated for SCOTUS review:

Much obliged.
 


This statue thing is so bizarre. It’s a complete non issue outside of the very core of his base and every week he wastes on dumb shit like this reduces the chances he can make it back in the polls. Such a weird “strategy.”

It’s a desperate gambit.

It creates a distraction from what people/media should be focusing on (systemic racism, economic looting by the rich, high crimes and misdemeanours, state-sponsored genocide, election manipulation, all encouraged or undertaken by the Trump camp) *and* is based on the high risk presumption that there are enough “true believer” white supremacists and racist generales in the US to get him over the line in November (or close enough to the line to allow for more difficult to detect election tampering to get him the rest of the way).

The media eat it up because people consume their coverage of it and the Trump camp can continue on with their horribly obvious “magic” trick.
