Wonder what the implications here are.
Will the congressional investigators or the Ways and Means committee get access to the tax reports immediately, can Trump put up any more road blocks, lawsuits, etc.?
Will parts of them made public or hopefully leaked? (speculation of course)

Enough of the BS, tRump needs to be charged and prosecuted. Forget that "no precedent" crap because we never had a president* who instigated an insurrection to overthrow our democracy. Remember the last guy a government let off easy and what happened afterward? Do the initials A.H. ring a bell? Time to fight this assault from tRump and his tRumplicans on our democracy with every tool we have.

Lawyers are trying to convince a judge to allow the Scottish government to investigate the Trump Organization under a 'McMafia' order, citing the New York criminal case

https://www.businessinsider.com/scot...a-order-2021-8

At a virtual court hearing in Scotland Thursday, the attorney Kay Springham asked a judge to allow the government to issue an "unexplained wealth order" (UWO), also known as a "McMafia order," The Scotsman reported. The order would force the Trump Organization to open up its books and explain how it financed the acquisition of its two Scottish resorts.

I'm SO looking forward to Donny's lifetime of crime FINALLY having consequences.

And everywhere they look, they will find smoking guns. We need to thank all the Trumpinistas for their utter incompetence. Covid handed moron #45 a surefire reelection, first he botches it and then tries to steal it.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I believe that the delay announcing results of vaccine testing by Pfizer and Moderna was a patriotic act.
