There are still basically two issues. The House Committee subpoenas were sent back to the lower courts, giving Trump another opportunity to make his case. The state prosecutors case (Vance) he lost flat out.
Releasing the records publicly doesn't really matter at this point since they'll only reveal a complex tax situation that will sway no one. What Trump's been worried about is prosecutor's getting a hold of the returns as they will be exhibit A in his trials. Presidential immunity being neutered also is a big blow to Trump
All the news organizations carrying water for Trump on the congressional decision. "MAJOR victory for Trump, Congress and Public won't see his financial records (because the SC said a lower court needs to review oh and the records are being turned over to SDNY)
Nothing will, but that's part of the agreement/point. The supreme court does NOT interfere or give the appearance of interfering or any hint of possibly pulling an election in any one direction or the other.
This is still amazing news. I'm glowing!!
I thought this bit was interesting. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch kinda weaseled their way through this one.
It's not even about whether or not he committed a crime. He really thinks everyone else is doing crimes too and getting away with it.
That's the thing. He was trying to block subpoenas over material he had absolutely no control over. The accounting firm Mazars already said they would comply pending court decisions. It was a two sided attack for the same material and one (for now) was 100% successful, no ambiguity. It's over.
They're the reason it got sent back to the lower courts.
It's clear to see.
He said over and over that he was going to release them, and that he couldn't because he was being audited, even as President. It's so much bullshit it's insane.
This man is so fucking dumb that he doesn't even realize that SCOTUS threw him a huge-ass bone and gave him a do-over
"Here's why good thing bad"
Look, we all wish this ruling would happen and immediately Trump's taxes would leak and flood the internet taking him down once and for all, but we need to stop spinning partial wins as total losses. Just yesterday many were insisting the courts would rule in favor of Trump and destroy our system of checks and balances. It's all about perspective.

Dude is acting like they're trying to investigate a possible murder. Not suspicious or anything
That's debatable. The court rejected Trump's actual arguments and did set specific standards that could let Congress access such information in the future.
Just not all the time or by default.
It also criticized the way the House did things, yes, due to balance of power reasons, but didn't endorse the absurd views of the administration's lawyers.
"THE BODY WAS PLANTED THERE BY OBAMA AND BIDEN!!! PRESIDENTIAL HARRASSMENT!!!"
Not a do over. New York state prosecutors are on his ass.
He has no legal argument against Congress either, his boys just punted for him to buy him time for this election.
It ain't over, but he got that ass tapped today.
All of it isnt getting punted though. The House case was punted but NY was after the same material. NY is going to get it. Are they setting a timeline for leaks?
I was just referencing the Congressional situation with the do-over
He's fucked with the state criminal investigation
