It's turning out to be an awful day for Trump. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled he has to turn over his tax returns to the House Ways & Means committee today.

I don't know what they were looking for, but there is no way the DOJ would do this for a weak or marginal case. They had to know what they were looking for and that it was there. They will pay a heavy price for this if it is a weak or marginal case. I'm guessing they had inside information regarding what was there and knew what they were after. Someone turned on Trump.

There is nothing inconsistent about Hunter's laptop being in Trump's safe. I suppose it would be unexpected, but why would Trump hide it? And why would that be silly or funny? I don't see it.
