At this rate he'll be back in office claiming immunity from prosecution and as usual the GOP will back him up.

Judge rejects Donald Trump's attempt to block release of records

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2021...5811636477096/

Naturally, he’ll appeal all the way to SCOTUS, whose highly politicized conservative majority will delay by sending it back down, rather than making an actual ruling, which would, of course, have to be against Donny’s absurd claims.

For the conservatives on the bench to decide against this, or not to hear it at all, would lay bare that they are in fact in his pocket.

There's no pressure that the ex-Pres can bring to bear on the conservatives on SCOTUS that would cause them to besmirch their reputations by ruling in his favor on this matter.

Their reputations in history are far more important to them than Trumps approval or disapproval.

That's called the "throw crap on the wall and see what sticks" defense.

Trump will sell his DC hotel to Hilton after losing millions in profits

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-sell-...loses-profits/

Nothing to do with the emoluments issue, it's because Donny is such a huge LOSER! Happy this "great businessman" has lost $millions on this bad investment.

Roger Stone, Alex Jones among new subpoenas issued by Jan. 6 panel

https://www.npr.org/2021/11/22/10570...-panel-capitol

Working their way up to Donny, one felon at a time. These two deserve to be water-boarded...
