Trump is closer to a criminal indictment

I think that the public has made up its mind about Trump's taxes and other scandals. Today's decisions by the SCOTUS won't lead to the release of Trump's taxes before the election, but that is okay. Releasing them would not have changed a single vote. Trump's voters are going to vote for him no matter the amount of evidence you put in front of them.

With that said, today's decisions will eventually lead to more investigations and possible future criminal charges against Trump. Losing blanket immunity is big because it assures that he will be charged at some point in the near future.

Looks like Trump has lied about asset valuations for generations.

can be revisited.

He has fought local jurisdictions to have his property taxes lowered.

Does this mean that a big tax bill will be landing on his desk soon?
