@CourthouseNews In the memo, Vance's assistants slam the notion that the "President enjoys not only a blanket immunity fro criminal prosecution," but also "routine, lawful grand jury request for information" extending to "any person or entity who happened to be associated" with him, and so on.
@CourthouseNews The memo mocks attempts to "invent" a "new presidential 'tax return privilege.'"
Citing fact that every U.S. president since Jimmy Carter voluntarily disclosed them, the Assistant DAs write: "Again, there is no 'immunity from scrutiny' of this sort in the law."

Interesting tidbit:
Before fighting the subpoenas, the Trump Organization complied with the grand jury probe—turning over 3,376 pages of records, per court docs.
But no tax returns, Vance says.
