It doesn't really matter, it's just another point.
They'll get them when he turns into a civilian. If mango man thinks he'll be safe from the IRS and FBI after his term(s) he's sorely mistaken. The only reason this blockade on his tax returns has worked is because he's president. There are no such protections for civilians. You can be sure a lot of very bored IRS agents are waiting with bated breath after the lengths he's going to hide his financial documents. Suspicious doesn't even begin to describe it.

Trump Tax Records Reveal New Inconsistencies — This Time for Trump Tower
Documents show the president’s company reported different numbers — higher ones to lenders, lower ones to tax officials — for Trump’s signature building. Last month, ProPublica revealed a similar pattern in two other Trump buildings.
Newly unearthed tax and loan documents appear to show that Donald Trump’s business reported wildly conflicting occupancy rates for Trump Tower in Manhattan—depending on who the intended audience was. ProPublica obtained documents that appear to show the president’s business reported a high occupancy rate to lenders, but a lower rate in official tax filings. For example, in June 2012, Trump’s business told a lender that 99 percent of the tower’s commercial space was occupied; but, in tax filings in the same year, it said the building’s occupancy was at 83 percent. That 16 percentage point gap between the loan and tax filings is a “very significant difference,” according to Susan Mancuso, an attorney who specializes in New York property tax. Showing a high occupancy rate to lenders in 2012 may have helped Trump refinance his share of Trump Tower that year, when he reportedly got a $100 million loan on good terms. A spokesperson for the Trump Organization said that “comparing the various reports is comparing apples to oranges.”

No one is arguing he is immune from paying tax, and he has repeatedly said he has a complicated tax return that is audited pretty much every year. His tax returns are certainly not hidden from the IRS, so I don't really get your point.
No doubt you are correct however, as we learned during the last administration, that there are plenty of highly partisan IRS employees who are eager to abuse their positions to harass their political opponents.
Well, this ruling by the Supreme Court destroys one of the recommendations for impeachment. This ruling unequivocally demonstrates that the President does have the legal right to fight a subpoena from the House in court. Therefore, this ruling has proven that the obstruction of justice in the articles of impeachment are complete bullshit.
No,it does not
Indeed.
We put up with the Mueller Scam, Sham, and Hoax for two years and constant, constant, constant drumbeat about obstruction of justice. Then we get no charges coming out of the Mueller scam but obstruction for failing to provide material or testify to congress where there was no judicial order to comply?????
Bullshit on steriods.
All of DC just needs to go back to watching porn on their computers and find a dem candidate.
Yeh sure. Suppose my neighbor sues me for defamation because I said he was an arsehole. Then he also alleges obstruction because I did not just pay up when he demanded payment. Ahhh. No.
Idiots. All of them.
Message to Tards: Find a candidate and knock off all the scams. Even though we know you got others in the pipeline. And if you have settled on Joe Biden as your nominee, then start settling on the idea that you gonna be seeing 2016 all over again, so start crying your sorry arses off right now.
