Supreme Court Ends Trump’s Bid to Shield/Tax Returns
and Effort to Challenge to Election Losses.....
Former president Donald Trump received a dual defeat Monday at the Supreme Court, a body he transformed with his appointments and one he had long hoped would be a last line of defense in his battles with Congress and liberal Democrats.
The court refused Trump’s last-chance efforts to shield his private financial records from Manhattan’s district attorney in one case, and tossed out a slew of challenges to the presidential election and his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
None of the three justices Trump chose for the court — Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — publicly objected to the subpoena seeking his assiduously guarded tax records, or concluded that his reelection defeat was tainted.
Now, Trump faces unprecedented legal peril for a former president. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.’s criminal investigation of his business dealings in New York will accelerate and broaden, and Trump faces scrutiny in Georgia for his efforts to subvert the election results there.
Let's hope DT will now pay to the piper......and now the 
show begins.....

Re: Supreme Court Ends Trump’s Bid to Shield/Tax Returns
Tax records that the rump tried to keep secret for years are now in the hands of the New York district attorney.Prosecutors obtained the records on Monday, just hours after the US Supreme Court denied rump's last-ditch effort to keep the records private, a spokesperson for the district attorney said.
The millions of pages of documents, sources say, contain rump's tax returns spanning from January 2011 to August 2019, as well as financial statements, engagement agreements, documents relating to the preparation and review of tax returns, and work papers and communications related to the tax returns.
The records may be critical to the investigation because they are likely to contain documents that reflect the decision-making behind valuations and tax write-offs, which may be important to determine whether there was intent to commit a crime.
The investigators have wanted to review the documents before calling key witnesses before the grand jury, people familiar with the inquiry said.
