Trump tried that gambit last month. Result: Epic Fail.
blondasaurusrex
He must have forgotten about the Obama birth certificate witch hunt.
r0twhylr
Or the actual witch hunts, where people were actually hanged.
TatersWhatsTatersPrecious
Dudes going to prison when his term is up
Kirah32
As much as that would be so amazing that will never happen
Thelrishlnquistion
America, aren’t you tired of this? How much longer are you prepared to put up with this shit. Can you please vote him out in November?
Indecurtsy
So it went up to the Supreme Court but then back down to some judge? Isn’t the SC the highest court in the land?
Thelrishlnquistion
It’s complicated. The SCOTUS said that he couldn’t refuse simply because he’s president but there might be other reasons, hence the appeal.
DoEpicStuffVIVibes
When he spoke of crooked Hillary, he was projecting.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Fucker projects so much if you turned him over there'd be EPSON written on his ass.
graehall
So much of what he and his ilk accuse others of doing, is projection on their part. It's uniquely odd. And it keeps fucking happening.
HelaSisterOfThor
#2 "Greatest witch hunt in history." *Stares in Salem*
ReginaKasteen
*laughs in Spanish Inquisition*
ddet1207
Right? "There's never been anything like it." Like, where does he think the term comes from? Sorry Donny, but the witch hunts were worse.
AreYouMyGuppy
Those witch hunts ended in strangulation and burning etc. Boring. He’s going to have to release paperwork! Never anything like it. (/s)
squidmaster42
Anyone have names on the 7-2 split?
Zahnradfee
Would be interesting, huh? Will those appointed by Trump protect his fat ass?

BURN THE WITCH
Aloofgoof
If this is a witch hunt, then Trump is a green nose-having, black cat petting, broom riding mother fucker
DigiRust
I actually laughed at that. Thanks.
Thelrishlnquistion
I just realised, all his real estate appears to be made out of gingerbread.
Zahnradfee
I'm pretty certain the children that vanished after they were put into cages ended up on his table.

"The Greatest Witch Hunt in history." I'll say, we caught two more big ones earlier today! Must be Witch Season or something!

StewedTomaters
Except the actor that plays him is a full-retard Trumpista. Pity.
lenomdeplume
Really? Just yesterday he did a thing for the Post Office...he told ppl to buy PO merch to help budget crunch.
StewedTomaters
Yeah, I know. But back in 2015-16 he was going on Fox and praising Trump. I don't know how he feels now, but I'd assume the same.
lenomdeplume
Evidently not...

John Ratzenberger? No...where are you getting your info??
StewedTomaters
From memory, look it up. He was a Trump supporter from the beginning. Said "the adults are back in charge," and said that "critics will
StewedTomaters
apologize to Trump after his first 4 years." Just checked. Went on Fox and Friends after the election.
StewedTomaters
I guess he's a semi-regular there.
upsidedownyhead
Could someone please explain why he can't face charges in office?
rueiwojvncxk
He can but no evidence no charges. Hurt feelings don't count.

barnsandnobel
What happened in 1997 and 2019? Fuckin checkmate libtards.
bluerazzgummy
The saddest thing is that is something trump idiots will probably actually jump on
ReginaKasteen
You don't want to know what happened in 1997. Parachute pants were involved.
RickHalcyon
Lotta stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997 - for example on Oct 16, 1997, the NYT first printed a full color photo on the cover.
dcwldct
Really? I could have sworn that cover photos in color were a thing as a kid (only on Sundays though).
GingerLaird
A witch hunt would involve civilians bursting into the white house with pitchforks and torches, dragging Turnip out by his ankles, >>
GingerLaird
>> tying him to a large wooden post and setting it all ablaze while chanting, "Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch!"
Jace99
Well we know where bunker-baby will be hiding.
excepttheoneswhoaredead
That sounds good, let's do that
Rosie2003
He’s going to do something really stupid & dangerous. That’s what a cornered animal does
graehall
Agreed. I've been saying similarly. That and his troubled mental state. He's going to keep fucking up until he crosses a line too far.
Puvaradivi
The scariest part is that the Republicans in office are also being backed into a corner, and they will likely cross that line by his side.
puppet
Xenarion
Yeah, and it's worrying to see how much of a following he has. He could start a civil war.
rchcopper
If he flat out refused, is there anything they would actually do?
certainlynotaserialkiller
they can order the IRS to give them.
pookieeatworld
Only problem is the IRS is a part of the Treasury, which is a part of the executive branch, so Trump has some degree of control there.
certainlynotaserialkiller
no, they could just go there and take it.
Wolf2Worrior
It would be out of his control at that point, wouldn't it?
twfeline
Jail. At least a couple of years.
rchcopper
Or would it all come down on the accountants and they'd just give it up?
hahwuduene6
Bankruptcy attorney would be good start, except he's been appointed ambassador to the country that's involved in Russiagate solicitation
WhoToldYouLifeWasFair
There is nothing that could be done, criminally, so long as he is in office.
Cucumberclouds
Before 2016, I would never have thought this possible.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Well there is, the Justice Department just refuses to do so, and has since Nixon.
SeasonedCitizen
The accountants don't want to go to prison, they won't be able to hand it over fast enough.
RickyIWannaGoFastBobby
I think they subpoenaed his accounting firm, which has the documents and has said in the past they would follow court order.
Luthierfer
I thought they already did
Tarmaccian
He's said a lot of things in the past that turned out to be complete lies.
Weedies617
Like after the audit was finished he would absolutely furnish the tax returns. That was 4 years ago! Proof he's a liar! Lock him up!
TheobromineAddict
I'm guessing the "supporting documents", or raw data, the IRS might not have.
nero4ty2
He’s probably never seen a tax document and knows nothing about it, all lawyers and accountants
RoboCoonie
Feel like it's felony tax evasion or something. Probably not.
mithiwithi
I believe this subpoena is against his accounting firm, which has already said they'll cough up when there's no legal questions left.
r0twhylr
SCOTUS has already ruled he has to release them, right? How is this even still an issue?
thatgotoutofhand
SCOTUS ruled that Trump is subject to reasonable subpoenas, but deferred to the lower court to decide on the actual specific subpoena.
filben7
Well the IRS has the information so I assume they would just go there.
BlueberryQuickjet
Also Deutsche Bank probably may have the records
Gobjin
Douche bank
ChromeAtom
But he's being audited, he'll release it when it's over
filben7
Xalaqia
While under audit, you may release your tax returns. Trump is lying... again.
MahSya
You are correct. If he flat out refuses the DA can request them from the IRS when used as evidence in a criminal hearing.
TheStarvingAutist
Could the SCOTUS just rule in his favor along party lines in the appeal? And if they rule against, could Barr decide not to pursue the case?
Smingersdidit
Supreme court justices have no need to follow the party line because there's nothing the party can do to them.
Smingersdidit
It's why they're not elected and the position is for life.
battery1979
Roberts is a Supreme Court Justice. He ruled against Trump. And this isn't Federal, it's the NY DA, so Barr has no jurisdiction.
TheStarvingAutist
awesome. thank you.
wintermute93
Worth noting: of the 9 current Justices, Roberts is usually thought of as conservative but is often the deciding "swing vote" in the middle
TiredOfTheBS
Ways and Means tried that. Mnuchin intervened and simply said no.
Smingersdidit
They could impeach him . . . Oh wait.
Thewayofthebear
They just released a report more damming than the Mueller report. They're worried he might loose. So yeah, he might not be protected

Two weeks. You wait. The best you’ve ever seen and he’s announcing it in two weeks. LOLOLOLOLOLyeah
WhoToldYouLifeWasFair
For the record, this is the second time his appeal has been rejected.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
And today he said they will take it back to the Supreme Court
AstroExplained
Last time it was there, the SC ruled against him (7-2), but allowed him to appeal to lower courts for more *specific* reasons. The lower
AstroExplained
court just denied the appeal on the specifics. It's unclear then if the supreme court would hear the case, since they ruled on it already.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
Oh he was talking out of his ass of course.

"The greatest witch hunt in history" says the guy who continued to propagate the Obama birther BS.

Jace99
And the Hillary BS, and now the Harris BS. Funny how all these witches congregate around Donnieboy and end up in prison.
MarcoPoloOnPollo
I'm pretty sure actual witch hunts existed in the U.S., so it's not even the greatest witch hunt in American history...
filben7
Weird how the witch hunt keeps finding witches.
lickwidae9
Okay not defending him or his "comrades" but I think all witch hunts typically found witches even tho they didn't

Just like when you test more you find more cases! /s

“NOT EVEN THE PRESEIDENT” bruh how about especially the president since he’s supposed to be “THE BEST OF US” ttfffffff

If it could find some legit witches that'd be nice

I wish they’d cast spells and shit not just undermine everything this country is supposed to stand for

Also funny he says there's "never been anything like it" when the phrase comes from people literally being murdered in pursuit of witches...

He's right. They never found the witch before.

AdvocateForLucifer32
He has publicly said people not using tax loopholes are idiots. Hope something comes of this. All seems like water off a ducks back.
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
It's not tax dodging he's worried about (even though that's illegal). He's terrified of something in his taxes interesting to see what it is
AdvocateForLucifer32
Knowing his egotistical self, my guess is his bank balance is less than he claims it is.
truthsmiles
His bank balance won't be on his tax returns. But I still agree - he doesn't want people seeing how low his reported income is.
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
Maybe, I bet he's financially owned by a foreign power.
