Trump’s tax returns just became a lot more urgent.
And the #Emoluments Clauses, too.
Does Trump have foreign debt?
And which foreign state debts may have been cancelled? (i.e, emoluments, or another kind of bounty.) nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/…
To the Judges who said these Emoluments suits & tax subpoenas were just partisan harassment:
Caring about national security and troops compromised by corruption is not partisan.
History will judge the judges.
Historians eventually will find out how deeply Trump is compromised.

When Trump went banktrupt when I was a teen, I asked my dad how he stayed "rich."
My dad:
"When you owe the bank a lot of money, the bank owns you...
But when you owe the bank a TON of money, you own the bank."
But if you owe Russia a TON of money, they can kill your troops.
4/ I agree with those who say Trump's tax returns by themselves will not show crimes or scandalous debts.
But the subpoenas are not for just the returns.
They are also for the "supporting financial documents." Those would show more detail about debts - and foreign sources.
5/ This breaking-news timing might be like Census case:
Roberts was the 5th vote for the Trump admin until latesmoking gun got him to see the light.
Note for tomorrow, maybe: Manhattan DA Vance subpoena is a sideshow b/c grand jury material is secret.
It's all about Congress.
6/ @ProjectLincoln:
"When Trump tells you he stands by the troops, he's right...
Just not OUR troops."
