the hopeless cry from a cowardly son to a cowardly father who has never known how to lead. donald trump has never known how to lead anyone, not his children pull, not this company which is now under criminal investigation with one officer of the company already indicted. and certainly not his country. if donald trump were still allowed to use twitter, he would no doubt be filling twitter tonight with a hateful nickname for the federal judge, trevor macfarlane, in the district court in washington d.c. who dismissed donald trump s lawsuit. trying to prevent the treasury from following the law. and giving his tax returns back. judgment said that donald trump, quote, is wrong on the law. a long line of supreme court cases require great deference to facially valid congressional
inquiries. even the special solicitude according to former presidents does not alter the outcome. the court will therefore dismiss this case. judge mick vowed then, begin his opinion at the beginning. the beginning of taxation. congress first levied an income tax in 1862 at the height of a civil war. under that law, the public could access and inspect any tax returns. judge mike fallon reviewed the law that involves only him to review. and the chairman of the finance committee to request copies of any tax returns from the irs. donald trump tried to help the law found unconstitutional in its face. and claimed that the judge falsely claimed that chairman neill was abusing his power just so he could make donald trump s tax returns public. in the final line of judge
macfarlane 45 page decision, he said, it may not be right or wise to publish the returns. but it is the chairman s right to do so. congress has granted him this extraordinary power and courts are loathe to second guess congressional motives or duly enacted statutes. the court will not do so here and thus must dismiss this case. chairman neill and his staff will not be able to enlist the help of donald trump s accountants to provide a room map through donald trump s tax returns since donald trump s accountant is already doing that under oath with immunity to a grand jury in manhattan. donald bender testified to that grungy, and prosecutors recently interviewed rosemary, a former managing director at george bank who oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to donald trump. the washington post reports, quote, the appearances by bender and what vrablic,
those federal judges. and in this case a trump appointee, who is crushing every single argument made by donald trump and his lawyers. absolutely lawrence. and trump is getting used to that. i think he loses to every single case he. fought as to, someday election, what have been there in december and january. but now all these tax return cases, which he lost already unanimously in the supreme court before, and today s decision i think is really important. it s a trump appointed judge. judge macfarlane, former trump doj official. that said basically, trump, read the law. the law is really clear. congress can get these tax returns. and the law is really clear in the supreme court that we do not accept someone, even a former presidents innuendo about the motivations for the houses representatives and trying to get this information. so it is an important win for the house, but in another way it s unremarkable because trump continues to insist that the law must silence his opponents
