Manhattan prosecutor agrees to shelve subpoena for Trump tax returns

[50 Shades Of Blue]

Manhattan’s top prosecutor on Monday agreed to delay enforcement of a subpoena for eight years of President Trump’s tax returns.

Cyrus Vance Jr., the Democratic district attorney for Manhattan, had the legal right as of this Friday to enforce a New York grand jury subpoena to obtain a lengthy financial paper trail that includes Trump’s corporate and personal tax records.

But Vance has agreed to temporarily shelve the subpoena against Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA. The delay allows for another round of litigation, extending the nearly yearlong court battle over the subpoena in which Trump has lost every bout, including a landmark decision last month at the Supreme Court.

3. WTF!!!!

Why? I need a reason. This is unreal

4. Vance is the guy who refused to press charges against Ivanka and Junior, isn't he?

Over false advertising for one of their buildings?

Yep.

7. Yes, and I said here that he's not trustworthy. Pity I was right.

16. That's how I remember it.

Vance is definitely a weak link.

5. This means Vance has everything he needs from Deutsche Bank already

[Buckeyeblue]

6. He didn't say how long he would delay it...maybe just a few weeks.

There has to be a good reason.

8. If it's about the upcoming election, that is wrong!

They allowed Comey to make his announcement about Hillary.

This stinks!

10. Don't care if Vance is a democrat

A. He is giving in to pressure.

B. He is influencing the election - in favor of trump, or at least not against him. Unless. . . somehow he thinks that releasing the tax returns would somehow not negatively impact trump.

9. Hopefully, this kicks it down the road

until about the first of October, when it will finally be resolved.

11. I smell Barr

I do enjoy unintentional comedy.

13. I know, right?

14. Cyrus Vance is in league with the Trump cabal now!11111

“He’s working with Trump. I posted about it before.”

[Grins]

15. Misleading. "Delay" is the correct word.

And this was predicted last week when the federal judge ruled against Trump. Vance was willing to wait a week. It’s not over, and Vance being treated like this...has become a killer.
