I kind of worry that there is nothing untoward in them at all.

I mean the thing about his taxes is that he doesn't have control of the them. The subpoena was served on the accounting firm Mazars. At some point you would think they would be more concerned about a NY criminal obstruction of justice charge than protecting DJT.

CNN BUSINESS
The court ruled that prosecutors may seek President Donald Trump's financial documents and tax returns, though that's unlikely to happen before the US election.
The stock market has been extremely volatile in the past several months — selling off when coronavirus cases surged and rebounding on hopes for an economic recovery. But the Surpreme Court ruling is forcing investors to think about the presidential election in November, adding more uncertainty into an already murky future.
The ruling might have unnerved some investors who until now didn't take former Vice President Joe Biden's bid for the White House seriously, said Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at ThinkMarkets.

Any investor who hasn’t taken Biden’s candidacy seriously before today must have been in a coma.

Not before the election. After that, who the fuck cares. I mean, other than for the sake of curiosity.

Right. Imagine trusting someone with your money whose wakeup call that the guy who is up almost 10% in the polls could win is the President losing a court case that probably isn't going to have any payoff before November anyway.

Biden could grab some votes by hoisting a shotgun and clearing the birds.
