SCOTUS About To Rule Against Trump On Tax Returns, Says Obama’s SCOTUS lawyer | MSNBC

The Supreme Court will rule on the fate of Pres. Trump’s long-secret tax returns by mid-July and possibly sooner, and Pres. Obama’s Supreme Court litigator says it will likely be a partial loss for Trump. “This whole Russia story may very well color” the decision, says Neal Katyal, explaining that legitimate questions about Trump’s links to Russia argue in favor of a legal probe of his taxes. Katyal discusses the case with MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 6/30/2020.

    1. @Whicker Boy
      But but but..
      You’re desperate. Donny is a treasonous POS and criminal.
      If you still support you’re no better.

    2. @Chris of STARS I don’t think he was trying to support the Republicans, he’s just a realist. whereas you seem to be hyper partisan with the naive belief that your team have clean hands.

    3. @Chris of STARS I’m a progressive, fool. Nice assumptions there buddy. I dislike corporate Dems but *hate* RethugliKKKlans a *lot* more. If you support #traitirdlDonnie I have no use for you. I’m simply not blind to how corrupt some Dens are. I’m *very* amused that you think I’d *ever* be one of you. I live in California and voted for Bernie in the Super Tuesday primary.
      The *only* kind of Republican I would *ever* be is a British one. Just FYI, saying you’re a Republican in the UK means that you think the monarchy should be abolished.

    1. MSDNC says their Communist Coup leader AntiAmerican x-president Hussein Obama has a fix in with Justice Roberts..
      Like Americans dont already know Obama Communists have declared war on the Constitution and citizens of America.
      No news here..

    1. @Amy Brown like is a simile. It’s not similar he IS a bandit. Therefore Not he’s making out like a bandit… He’s a bandit making out

    2. This Clown is the Biggest Cheat, Mobster, Liar of all Time And He Cheated His Way into Being Our President, Please Supreme Court Do the Right Thing, Show This Guys Taxes !!

    3. He’s too stupid to hide things.
      I can’t believe that he became the president?
      Throw him into the pit!!!

    1. If his taxes contradict in any way his financial disclosure statements, and I suspect they will, then he broke federal campaign finance laws.

  1. Comrade Trumpski. Made in russia. He’s been sleeping with the russians since the 90s. He’s in debt and blackmailed by his puppet master VladdyPutin

    1. @P Good There are none so blind…. From day one this individual has tried to dismantle the sanctions Obama put in place and get Russia back into the G7 (Russia was suspended from the G7 by Obama and the other democratic leaders because of the invasion of Crimea). He had Flynn promise the Russian ambassador that Obama´s sanctions would be lifted, but he could not deliver because Congress (Dems and GOP) stopped him. He has not been able to get Russia into the G7 because the other countries. He still tries his best to serve his master. He has been badmouthing and sabotaging NATO from the start. His abject deference to Putin in Helsinki was an eye-opener even to many Republicans. But believe what you want.

    2. @peter blood you actually think going around saying fb shot like that without any evidence is going to make people dislike trump? lol your as dumb as a fukin doornaill. end of story. um, that’s probably the reason he won last time. because of idiots like you. anything else chief?

    1. @u zilla Republicans are begging Obama to come back. 😅😂They dont know how to speak out against treason from their own leader

    2. Hahahaha.Don’t forget soap in the mouth Bubba’s conjugal visits.Melania will be long gone with richer,more attractive younger guy to dig gold again.

    3. @u zilla I believe those were jeff epstein’$ last words or was that Bernie Madoff? I forget which lol…😏

  2. There seems to be a life pattern here with Trump… I wonder what it is…? 🤔🙄😒🙁😑😕😠😡

  3. Let’s hope the Supreme Court takes the safety of America from a compromised President seriously and gets those tax and business documents into NY State and congress hands immediately!!!!

    1. @Whicker Boy I think you need to pay attention to the world around you because there is no class get off the smartphone and go outside

    2. Not Your Average Trucker : let’s hope this will finally be the nail in Teflon Don‘s coffin. 🙏

  4. Not saying anything yet until the decision is made. Hopefully it will be in Thursday and not two weeks from now.

    1. I have a feeling that the decision will be 4-4, once again coming down to Roberts, who is a partisan hack, imo. Also, going by what Neal Katyal said, there will be 2 decisions here, one for the campaign finance violation, the other re the tax returns for the House. Hope that SCOTUS won’t try and keep everyone happy by ruling for the former and against the latter.

  5. What ever happened when Cohen said their were 2 sets of books trump used..hopefully that’s his coffin😷😷😷

    1. @gurujr His golf course is his “server.” That’s where the deals go down.. Look what happens after he golfs with people.

    2. REMEMBER, WE ONLY SEEN PARTIALLY UN REDACTED MUELLER REPORT PART 1. PART 2 IS STILL OUT THERE

    3. Hopefully his CFO Alan Weiselberg who worked with him since his Dad …is cooperating with SDNY….he did the books..he’ll know where the bodies are buried. Also his assistant Rhona…I was an assistant and when you work for someone that long you pretty much know everything

    4. @Drew K I hope Weiselberg gave up the goods on the payment of $130,000, that was claimed illegally as Cohen’s retainer, and they’re just waiting to prosecute, but Barr already interfered so I have my doubts.

  6. Any chance they could rule for him to pay back the emoluments billions he has stolen from hard working Americans???

    1. @Mike Clark Welll Clark….u sound EXACTLY LIKE THE VIET CONG during 1 of their interrogations!!!!!
      How do u know IF u r an American???

    2. @Whicker Boy What’s Trump got you doing morse code for Putin or is Putins got Trump doing morse code for him? Anyway Putin’s horney go find him some little boys he’s literally got his sugarcoated army to pick from. Troll.

    1. Dusan Todorovic Donald trump literally showed America his bank statements to prove he donates his Salary….

      If there was any benefit to trump in his taxes he would’ve released them on a billboard off I-95

    2. Walt Schmidt
      Every other president has done for the last 40+ years. Why should he be any different?

    3. @Walt Schmidt Where did you get you JD or LLB degree from? Trump University? And you will probably have to Google it to figure out what JD or LLB stand for.

    4. @D. K. And you will have to google the fact that Trump University was a real estate training school with no degrees given out.

    5. @Walt Schmidt Naw, he’s a coward, he’s going to P.C,u know, the place u paroled from

  7. The reckoning is about to be revealed…money people the world over will abandon Trump/Barr criminal organization

    1. The congress has to bring their case to the senate to be judged and the senate always blocks the witnesses from testifying then they rule it as not enough evidence. It doesn’t matter, the senate loves him and won’t rid of him. It’s a sad fact.. all we can do as a people is demand the Supreme Court be another way of processing things.

    2. @unkljj Trump has been laundering money for organized crime since his casino days and most recently with German banks (that already have provided evidence to the FBI)..grow up…get educated.

    1. P Good They can afford it because Germany keeps buying so much natural gas from Russia, which begs the question….does Putin have komromat on Merkel? 😬

    2. keylimepie1234 why do you think Putin has a konromat on everyone? Can you name one person that he verifiably has a komromat on?

    3. keylimepie1234 I think the senate was paid by Putin’s henchman and the list handed to trump for blackmailing. How else could this possibly happen

    1. Firstly, no one is eating anything “ttrump” related! The majority of critically thinking Americans still have good taste! Not necessarily good tasting! 🤣😂🤣😂🥩🍗🥓

    2. It should be a law in all states that nobody gets their name on a ballot for president or vice president unless they have released seven years of tax returns. No more shady presidents!

    1. P Good why were the troops there? To stand against Putin in Europe, you know the border against Russia- Putin has already attacked another country. Trump weakened the defence line.

    2. Laura Stevenson crazy how fast you guys change your postion on war so quickly, the second a republican is Anti-war, you guys go from pretending to be anti-war to being full on war mongers

    3. @P Good there’s anti-war, and then there’s rolling over and letting russia do whatever they want to allies. trump wants to withdraw troops because putin wants him to withdraw troops. being a traitorous puppet isn’t a good reason for doing anything.

    1. @Patralgan Me and My friends and family will have a FLAG flying party when DUMPY is THROWN OUT!

    1. He was a billion in debt from.the mid 80’s to mid 90’s almost twice as much as any person in this country in debt.
      In 1987..he published The Art of the Deal…a billion dollars in debt and he’s a deal maker..🤣😂…a not very good one

  8. “Crooked Hillary” released hers. Trump said he’d release his after the election and he also said hed lock her up. Neither have happened. All Donnie does is lie and make promises he can’t keep. Mexico isn’t paying for a wall, healthcare isn’t cheaper. #Biden2020
