other than he doesn’t make as much as he claims.

There’s no tax return schedule that shows illegal payments or receipts.

And trump’s organization can look likely block attempts to look deeper than the info on the returns.

The taxes will show more than you think. Along with his tax preparers testimony. I could surely be wrong BUT i don't think he wants to take a chance on allowing his taxes shown to all! NY state knows something here is wrong with his taxes.

Roberts knows very well that if the Court should rule that Trump must release his taxes, he'll tell them to go pound sand, thus wiping out any appearance that the Court has power over Trump. Roberts doesn't want to be seen to be knuckling under either, so he'll figure out ways to delay and delay and delay.

if they refuse certiorari the lower court ruling stands and his financials will be produced...IF they grant certiorari it could go either way and from the standpoint of precedent they should uphold the lower court-I'm sure Roberts wants no part of overturning the lower court attached to his name.
