Clearly rump's taxes MUST be turned over to congress, period, end of story.
So did the patriots have to compromise and decide this way otherwise the 3 traitors would not even allow for the DA to see them?
Why does this law apply to all presidents other than traitor?

(68,935 posts)I think this was a very good ruling. They ruled against immunity for the president in Vance. This is huge. They said Congress's request was to broad in the Congressional ruling...President can't stiff Congress...Congress can't go fishing either...a good ruling. A different ruling could have bitten us in the ass if a future GOP Congress goes after our president.

Eliot Rosewater
(31,162 posts)BUT why does the law that prez MUST turn them over to congress apply to all and not him?
The only answer must be it does apply to him but the fuck cons on SC told the patriots no way they would do that.
