TRUMP TAX RETURNS MIGHT NOT REACH CONGRESS AFTER ALL – Chief Justice Roberts has issued a temporary stay on an order for President Donald Trump’s tax returns to be handed over to congress. The move could delay the potential for congress to receive his returns to the point that the GOP controls the House. It is doubtful the GOP will seek to receive the records should they win the midterms.

Excerpt:
The Supreme Court’s stay of a congressional demand for Donald Trump’s taxes is almost certainly the final nail in the coffin of Democrats’ efforts to investigate the former president’s finances. If — as is widely expected — Republicans take control of the House in next week’s midterm election, the demand could be withdrawn before the documents are handed over. The court is likely to rule against Trump before the new Congress takes office on Jan. 3, 2023, but he will realistically be able to stonewall until then — and avoid meaningful consequences.
