You are very loosely interpreting things. That won't happen with Supreme Court judges in a million years

This is possible, but looking at everything I think it's a stretch that he'd be able to slowplay it this long. As opposed to say, a week or two before the election? I think a history of decent straightforward tax returns would have been a great card to play there. I think he figured he'd lose and never intended to show them.

Not necessarily "bribes" in the direct sense. Even just getting loans or showing business dealings there would be very significant. For example, if he were shown to have $250m in debt to Alfa bank or particular Russian groups with close Kremlin relationships--and that's the norm in Russia--you would have clear conflicts of interest that speak to his capacity to represent US interests honestly. And where his money goes is just as important, too.

Even then, that's not to say that blatant corruption couldn't be found that might fall outside the scope of an IRS audit. Who knows what journalists might find were they able to access the mountain of financials in his returns, and that's kind of the point. For the first time in (most of) our lifetimes we have a sitting president who has chosen to obscure the details of his financial empire, and I'm just not persuaded by the idea that there are legitimate reasons left for doing that.

Ok, this judge is awesome:

Headshot

im back with popcorn for the meltdown

Omg that judge. We need to start a go fund me to by him a superhero cape.

once again Giuliani, what a bro.

Hi, are you a lawyer? I am, and your statement is wrong. Also, the decision by the judge addresses the very issue you just raised (and I quoted it above), how can he read Trump's mind? Luckily, he doesn't have to because Trump and his surrogate (Giuliani) told the whole world exactly what his intent was, because Trump is an idiot.

summarize the stuff not posted here yet today we've got
Sessions claimed marijuana "only slightly less awful" than heroin.
Mattis claiming things already starting to go wacky from climate change.
EPA dgaf.
a report out there Flynn was being investigated by the FBI in december.
Ryan stating the bill was written with Trump.

I am in love with this judge.

Only 34,000 opioid overdose deaths in the USA last year. The number on marijuana? Well, it's obvious.

Bmol knows less about the law than Lionel hutz.

The other ones probably should've been discussed, but ol' Jeffy Beau has been saying **** like this forever.

Um hello libtards, but I am ALSO a lawyer, and BMOL is 100% correct that judges are not allowed to try to get inside someone's mind to guess their intent. This is why, for example -- and you may have been wondering about this -- no one has ever been convicted of murder.

The claims marijuana deaths are 0 are bull****, but it's not a concerning # whatsoever.

Trump insisting we've been abused through economic trades when prices of goods are low because of those deals, protect borders by cutting the coast guard budget. I hate politics, people eat this **** up.

Word salad ftw.

Ok, I laughed out loud.

Obviously people have died from Marijuana related stupidity, just not a straight overdose from such as there are so many who have with fentanyl lately. It is gross incompetence to cut down on addictions treatment and turn an eye to fentanyl and go after Marijuana. Idgaf about Marijuana and haven't even ever smoked tbh but it's just so incompetent.

It's been reported that Trump did a conservation easement transaction in 2005, which is very likely ultrashady and could easily have been fraudulent. IIRC the gist of the transaction is that Trump promised not to develop houses on some of his golf course properties and in return took a deduction for like $30 million.

lollllll. no.

what lawyer have you heard, and on what major news network other than Fox, say this?

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll. no.

I would really like to know what bmol thinks the Supreme Court does and it's a lock he's never read a decision from them.

Since everything to these judges is politically based now it'll be a 5-4 decision. It should be 9-0 but it won't be

Don't take Trump literally, but rather "look into his heart"... unless, of course, you are a judge ruling on his Muslim travel ban.

Is Trump on adderall or something? Jesus Christ, what a loon.
