Let the Whining Begin

The US Supreme Court has sent Trump into a rage.

The court ruled, 7-2, that prosecutors in New York can access Trump's financial and tax records. As for Congress getting their hands on them, that remains unclear.

Mr. Trump immediately attacked the outcome on Twitter. “This is all a political prosecution.” 

“Courts in the past have given “broad deference”. BUT NOT ME!” he wrote. 

Mr. Trump had asked the court to block both sets of subpoenas, which had sought information from Mr. Trump’s accountants and bankers, not from Mr. Trump himself; the firms have indicated that they would comply with the court’s ruling.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers had argued that he was immune from all criminal proceedings and investigations so long as he remained in office and that Congress was powerless to obtain his records because it had no legislative need for them.

Trump is now said to be mulling over creating a 3-judge United States Supreme Court of Appeals to which he'll appoint Ivanka and the Dullard Twins, Don Jr. and Ambergris to 'review' today's decision.

The good news for Trump is that, barring some surprise, the public won't get any of the details of Trump's dealings until after the election at the earliest.  Who knows? I'd bet Putin has a copy or two.
