The Supreme Court Rules That No One, Not Even Trump, Is Above The Law | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. So say he told Erdogan that the Obama ere investigations into a shady bank in Turkey would become vaporware when he got in. He has hotels in Turkey. It’s not rocket science.
      https://armenianweekly.com/2020/06/29/national-security-adviser-bolton-exposes-trumps-corrupt-dealings-with-erdogan/ 
      Erdogan, during his multiple visits to the White House and 20 phone calls with Pres. Trump, repeatedly raised the following three priority demands from Trump

      1) The release of Turkish businessman Reza Zarrab from arrest in the United States by appealing to Pres. Trump to drop the charges against him. Zarrab, with Erdogan’s blessing, had laundered $20 billion to Iran through the Turkish government-owned Halkbank to circumvent the U.S. sanctions on Iran;

      2) The extradition from the United States to Turkey of Fethullah Gulen, the Turkish cleric, who after his close alliance with Erdogan, split with him and became the Turkish President’s enemy number one. Erdogan falsely accused Gulen of leading the Turkish coup attempt in 2016.

      3) The acquiescence of Trump to withdraw US troops from Northern Syria, allowing Turkey to invade that area and eliminate the Kurdish population’s presence inside the Syrian border.

      Bolton related in his book that during the G20 summit meeting in Argentina on Dec. 1, 2018, Erdogan gave Trump a memo requesting that Zarrab be freed from U.S. jail. According to Bolton’s book, Trump told Erdogan that “he would take care of things, explaining that the Southern District [of New York] prosecutors were not his people, but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people.”

      When Bolton was dispatched to Turkey to warn Erdogan that he should not invade Northern Syria, Bolton received a last minute phone call from Pres. Trump asking him to refrain from telling the Turkish President that the U.S. troops will not withdraw from Northern Syria, even though most of the White House senior staff disagreed with the President’s decision.

      Trump also violated U.S. laws and congressional demands by refusing to sanction Turkey, a NATO member, for purchasing Russian anti-aircraft S-400 missiles

    1. Uh oh. I feel a tidal wave coming!!!
      Here it comes. Get ready for it. It’s building stronger and stronger. Certain people will have to head for the hills. And lock themselves up n isolated caves. Can’t wait for to happen. Look…up n the sky….it’s a bird….it’s a plane……it’s biden, pelosi, schumer, nadler, schiff, maxine waters, and all their political cronies cause this means
      their tax returns can now b subpoenaed by repub prosecutors.
      Ok repub boys, time to get the real show started.

  1. Vote putin and his first lady out of the white house this November regardless.
    HELSINKI is all you need to know what his tax returns contain.

    1. @Don Hardcastle yeah well Hillary and Obama aren’t in office so….why not start with the person who IS in office because hes a much much bigger concern. But no your stupid enough to think that the others are worth investigating why? Because trump says so?

    2. @Don Hardcastle I am one of the people who actually does look at Trump’s presidency objectively, and without the tribalism, as you complained about in your comments. I was determined to do so. I had the willpower required to observe without being a “Never Trumper” when few others did (no offense to others; I know he is infuriating – I had to try very hard). You, however, do not have a leg to stand on with the farmers argument (among others). He went ahead and finished off the farmers’ financial ruination, didn’t he? Try to at least debate logically when you are trolling, rather than just doing it for fun, since you seem to enjoy it.

  2. THIS IS A VICTORY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE WORST PRESIDENT STOMP ON THE RULE OF LAW.

    1. @Solar Analysis
      “I am not about race, im a conservative black person who is done with all sides in politics….”
      Well if you’re done with all sides in politics, STFU and leave.

    2. @Solar Analysis Actually 70% of voters were white, and the majority voted for ROTTEN Trump. Just wanted to clarify because it scared me so I looked it up. In any case. November 3rd, we vote him OUT!

    3. @Étienne Gauthier
      “Good try! I’m from the Laurentides”
      Well I wasn’t sure. I have worked a few years off and on in the Saguenay as an engineer specialized in aluminum plants and I personally know two Étienne Gauthier who live there which is really not surprising considering the large number of Gauthiers in that area.

    1. Uh oh. I feel a tidal wave coming!!!

      Ok repub boys, time to get the real show started.

  3. Like how many scandals of Trump do we need to know before people wake up from the cultist behavior that he is unfit to be President?

    1. @Leonie Romanes – that makes sense since they haven’t actually read the Bible. Only brandish it to let people think that they’re morally superior.

    2. Real Christians are prolife, simple as that. Anyway, the Supreme Court gave Trump a victory, msnbc is simply reporting the minor case that did not give him a win.

    3. @Roldan333 – they’re pro-life only until the fetus is born… after that to each their own. They’re even okay to sacrifice millions of lives for the sake of the economy as shown repeatedly with the action of Trump and his cronies in this pandemic. The SCOTUS said that the Congress can’t see it now not that they can never. Also, in a 7-2 vote with Trump appointed judges siding with the majority, said that the sitting president is not above the law and that they can subpoena him. Transparency is something he touted the whole time but yet he seems to be hiding something by not showing his taxes that other Presidents had no problem doing. Educate yourself more besides watching FOX news and Kayleigh’s alternative excuse.

    4. Uh oh. I feel a tidal wave coming!!!

      Ok repub boys, time to get the real show started.

    5. @Theresa L educate yourself? Sit down. Every single so called scandal has failed. Miserably. Beyond being a joke. No one reports them anymore. More than any other time in history, this has been a partisan hunt for Trump. Trump is about as much a Russian agent as you are. Covid has been tough, really tough, but far worse would be what America looked like if none of these re-opening measures took place. Any other politician would be beginning the lockdown in May and keeping it fully on till August. The democrats wrote a bill to prevent Trump from closing down the borders as soon as he did, saying it was “racist”, and yet you would rather us vote for them? Disgusting. You go and educate yourself before lecturing. This is not a scandal. This is War. And Trump isn’t giving in to the enemy. Good for him. They can go crazy over his tax returns. Keeps them distracted while we rebuild our country. And it’s called a child, FYI.

  4. He still won’t produce them. He clearly does what he wants. He hasn’t been held accountable for anything since he’s been in office,

    1. o.g Paramount You would think so, but Trump just ignores any law he doesn’t like and so far no-one has forced him. Who will force him now?

    2. @Nga D. they aren’t in his possession, not the mazars records at least. Mazars will do what the law requires regardless of what Trump says

    1. @J Groovy
      That’s why Trump’s been so freaked about his financial records-he’s definitely broke and doesn’t want anyone to know. 😈💲🤷👍

    2. I know. I just feel sorry for his future prison guards. He will make their lives miserable. 😋😂

    3. The vaccine for the coronavirus should be out next year. So we can expect him to go to prison instead of getting out due to the chance of getting infected.

    1. @Rebecca B Reeves If you’re truly an American and believe in American values you won’t

    2. @red is for freedom blue is for losers Aweee look at the triggered little snowflake everyone calling biden a pedophile even though Trump likes to be in changing rooms with 14 year old girls

    1. @Thomas Johnson trump is like the family member who’s a drunk. Everyone runs around covering up or making excuses for him. Look….even you’re doing it.

    2. Richard Thomas Awesome! Trump the bloody punk has lost his tax case in the Supreme Court

      Auckland. NZ

  5. Just like Big Al Capone, get him with the boring stuff (which is actually not so boring here). Something *has* to stick to the new Teflon don

  6. He’s not concerned about being President, the liar is afraid of going to Jail. #Trump4Prison2020

    1. @Australian Woman Your Writing Skills are just as Evil 😈 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    2. Uh oh. I feel a tidal wave coming!!!

      Ok repub boys, time to get the real show started.

    1. He is not broke. If you think that a crook like Trump has not stolen some of the hundreds of billions dumped into PPP without any oversight. Why no oversight?????????

    2. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, INDIVIDUAL NO.1# CARES ABOUT HIDING THAT DIRTY RUSSIAN MONEY ILLEGAL TAX RETURNS AND SCHEMES!

    3. Maybe not what common people call “broke”, but for sure not as rich and successful as he claims to be.
      (For him, the few millions of PPE, maybe the last of his *deals*, represents nothing. These people do not count by some mere millions. Do you realize just how much the 1% are rich? Just how much millions is a billion?)

  7. ” A lot of smoke coming out of the dumpster fire that is Donald Trump’s financials!” (Thank you to Maya Wiley)

    1. Uh oh. I feel a tidal wave coming!!!
      Here it comes. Get ready for it. It’s building stronger and stronger. Certain people will have to head for the hills. And lock themselves up n isolated caves. Can’t wait for to happen.

      Ok repub boys, time to get the real show started.

    2. @Whicker Boy as long as they are specific in what they are looking for and why, have at it.

    1. I don’t wanna hear what Trump calls Putin’s meat stick but yeah he’ll need something to help him sleep tonight. 😈👍💩😁🤷
