    This is not the outcome. His returns can be shared with Prosecutors, but not Congress and it won't happen before November anyway. He's got away with this one. If (please God) he loses, then those returns better be squeaky clean or he will be in big trouble.

    They kicked it back to the lower courts and removed his Presidential immunity defence. That's why he's freaking out.
    He'll continue to challenge anything and everything, but he really doesn't have a case.
    He's just dragging it out and hoping he can win the election and rig some more courts, so it'll eventually go away.

    The last full time crook who got locked up for tax evasion may have been Al Capone.

    I must admit I am intrigued by her. She is front and centre in the Epstein pics with Donald, and I have heard there are rumours she was an Escort. I know her job was as a model - but that term covers a variety of jobs.

    I wonder how many deaths will be attributed to the Trump regime in the future. His couldn't care less attitude during this virus (let them eat cake!!!?),the deaths of the Kurds,the Syrian killed in that embassy and now the Russian bounties to the Taliban for killing allied soldiers. What did I miss?

    That's former Republican Presidential nominee and current Republican senator Mitt Romney talking about the Republican President, Donald Trump.
    He's referring to Trump commuting Roger Stone's sentence for covering up Trump's crimes.
    Stone himself said the following about Trump's decision:
    “He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him. It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didn’t.”
    The words of one innocent man about another, clearly.

    The flip side of this is the situation of former Trump lawyer, Michael Cohen.
    He turned on his former client and went to jail, but was recently let out on bail.
    That bail was revoked, as he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement that would've silenced him on such matters.
    Very legal and very cool. <ok>

    So a quick follow-up on the Grauniad's northern correspondent Helen Pidd and that artisanal pizzeria in Leigh she gave free advertising to twice in the space of six weeks...
