Trump is making a last ditch attempt to keep his tax returns secret, by appealing the case to his buddies on the Supreme Court
Rejecting themade by his lawyers that he can’t be prosecuted or even investigated during his time in office, the panel said that “any presidential immunity from a state criminal process does not bar the enforcement of such subpoena.” The court upheld an October ruling from U.S. District Judgewho characterized the claims of presidential immunity as “repugnant to the nation’s fundamental structure and constitutional values.
That may cause Trump to sweat like he’s just been told Conan the Baghdadi dog is waiting in the Oval Office and has been trained to detect contraband Big Macs stuffed down people’s pants, but that’s his problem, not the court’s. “The subpoena at issue is directed not at the President, but to his accountants; compliance does not require the President to do anything at all,” Katzmann said.
