The chickens are coming home to roost as the courts knock down Trump's stonewalls one by one. Looks like we're gonna see a lot more than just Trump's taxes as his accounting firm coughs up a ton of documents, his bankers won't be far behind with their truck loads of documents delivered to congress. All this will be grounds to get even more of Trump's financial info to back past 2000, if he got a dime or a loan from Russia, we'll know, if he laundered money we'll know too. Donald is freaking out over his finances more than about Russia because the penalties for easily proved documents based cases will put him away forever. Laundering money for the Russians was a big part of Donald's income, someone helped him bigly after the financial crash of 2008 and over the years. Donald couldn't mange his way outta a wet paper bag and went through money like shit through a goose while trying to fake being a billionaire. We're about to find out how much money Donald really has, if he laundered money and cheated on his taxes going right back to his old man.
The judge is a Muslim so this should be interesting, I wonder if Donald will tweet anything stupid about it? Oh the irony, brought down by a Muslim, appointed by Obama, not only that, he's an immigrant from a "shit hole country"!

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/20/judge-rules-against-trump-in-lawsuit-to-block-democrats-subpoena-for-financial-records.html
KEY POINTS
- A federal judge ruled against President Donald Trump on Monday in a lawsuit to block a subpoena from House Democrats for information about his finances.
- U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta strongly endorsed Congress’ broad authority to investigate the president, striking a blow to arguments made by Trump’s legal team.
- While Trump’s lawyers had argued that the committee’s subpoena did not have a legitimate legislative purpose — and was therefore invalid — Mehta took a more liberal view.
A federal judge ruled against President Donald Trump on Monday in a lawsuit to block a subpoena from House Democrats for information about his finances.
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta strongly endorsed Congress’ broad authority to investigate the president, striking a blow to arguments made by Trump’s legal team.
Trump, speaking outside the White House shortly after the ruling came down, said he disagreed with the judge, and vowed to appeal the decision.
Mehta wrote in a 41-page memorandum opinion that while “there are limits on Congress’s investigative authority ... those limits do not substantially constrain Congress.”
