Legally, Thursday was a very bad day for Donald Trump -- as the Supreme Court ruled against his efforts to block the turning-over of his financial documents to a New York grand jury, which could lead to major problems for him once he leaves office.

Politically, however, Thursday was a pretty darn good day for Trump -- as it cemented the fact that the public isn't going to get a look at his tax returns before the November election. The court rejected the US House's attempt to get a look at Trump taxes, which would have ensured they would have leaked publicly and, even in the case of the New York grand jury, the court remanded it back to a lower court --
meaning that Trump isn't giving his financial records to anyone just yet.
it probably won't happen, but NYS can not only have the records toot sweet - but a lot of the intel they have already, & donny's accountants & deutche bank are ready to hand over anything they still need. so info may come out b4 the election...
the CFO of the trump org is allen weisellberg - who is the next in line on the food chain after donny & his spawn. he's a pretty big deal & knows everything. & NYS knows alot about him already.
Prosecutors Investigating the Trump Organization Zero In on Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s criminal investigation of the Trump Organization is scrutinizing the actions of one of the president’s oldest and most trusted deputies, ProPublica has learned.
The focus on Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, a 72-year-old accountant now running the business with Trump’s two adult sons, stems from his involvement in arranging a payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump (which Trump has denied).
Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, or SDNY, contended that the Trump Organization had improperly booked reimbursements for the hush-money scheme as “legal expenses,” with the aid of sham invoices. They granted legal immunity to Weisselberg and later closed their 18-month investigation with the guilty plea of one Trump associate, Michael Cohen. But Weisselberg’s immunity deal applied only to federal proceedings.
Now Vance’s state grand jury is examining whether Weisselberg, among others — and even the Trump Organization — should face state criminal charges for falsification of business records, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Neither Weisselberg nor the Trump Organization responded to requests for comment. Vance, through a spokesman, declined to comment.
