Today's U.S. Supreme Court Ruling Guarantees That President Trump's Tax Returns Will Not Be Made Public Before The Election

Daily Mail: Donald Trump rages 'not fair' and vows to fight to keep his taxes secret after stunning 7-2 Supreme Court ruling that prosecutors CAN subpoena his returns and he is NOT above the law - with his own SCOTUS picks Gorsuch and Kavanaugh voting against him

* Supreme Court rules 7-2 that Manhattan prosecutors can get Donald Trump's tax returns by subpoenas to his bank, Deutsche Bank, and accountants Mazars
* Trump had fought to keep them secret saying as president he was absolutely immune from investigation
* But in stunning rebuke, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a 7-2 decision which said the president is not above the law - meaning the subpoenas can go ahead
* Both Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, Trump's appointees to the courts, voted against him
* After the ruling he furiously tweeted that he was being singled out by the justices and other presidents had got 'deference'
* Ruling does not immediately open the way for the public to see his returns
* Manhattan prosecutor Cy Vance who is probing possible hush money payments to Stormy Daniels will now go back to court there to ask for subpoeanas
* Process in court is likely to take weeks but Mazars, the accountants, say they will immediately comply with a subpoena
* Deutsche Bank have not said what they will do but this week paid $150 million in fines for failing to flag Jeffrey Epstein's finances properly
* He scored a partial victory in Congressional Democrats' attempt to get his tax returns with the same justices ruling the case should go back to lower courts
* Roberts ruled he was not immune from Congress - which was the heart of his defense - but that other issues about separation of powers had to be dealt with

Donald Trump rage tweeted 'NOT FAIR!' Thursday as the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that he cannot claim immunity to stop his tax returns being obtained by prosecutors - while his lawyer vowed to fight to keep them secret from New York's district attorney Cy Vance.

The justices dealt a stunning blow Trump by ruling that he cannot claim immunity from all investigation to stop his bank and his accountants from handing over the tax returns that Vance had demanded as part of his probe into possible hush money to Stormy Daniels.

The court ruled 7-2 that Trump is not immune as president from subpoenas, in an opinion that tested both the power of local prosecutors and Congress to obtain information.

WNU Editor: The President is raging against this Supreme Court decision. The media is also claiming this is a huge defeat for President Trump. I totally disagree with what the media is saying, and President Trump should be doing a "Snoopy dance" in celebrating this decision. From my point of view this is a huge win for President Trump. He does not have to provide his tax forms to Congress. This case will now probably go back to the lower courts. The Supreme Court also did not order the President to immediately comply to a New York City grand jury's demand for his documents. What it ruled on was that the President does not enjoy complete immunity. So what is the aftermath of these rulings? They will probably go back to the lowercourts where I can guarantee that this will take a long time to resolve. Bottom line. The Democrats are not going the President's tax forms before the election. So here is my prediction. The media will be dropping this story by tomorrow morning.
