November 22, 2022 was a bad day for the former President who isn’t smart enough to shut the fuck up from crying and stop throwing down against Federal judges who have their jobs for life and couldn’t give a rat’s ass about his trying to evade the law thru noise and politics….
Trump Slams the Supreme Court Over Tax Ruling
Donald Trump ripped the Supreme Court on Wednesday, a day after it rejected his emergency appeal seeking to shield his tax returns from House Democrats.
Said Trump: “Why would anybody be surprised that the Supreme Court has ruled against me, they always do! It is unprecedented to be handing over Tax Returns, & it creates terrible precedent for future Presidents. Has Joe Biden paid taxes on all of the money he made illegally from Hunter & beyond.”
He added: “The Supreme Court has lost its honor, prestige, and standing, & has become nothing more than a political body, with our Country paying the price. They refused to even look at the Election Hoax of 2020. Shame on them!”

The time line for Trump’s legal hits…
Trump’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day started at 10 a.m. in Manhattan civil court, where his family company is fighting the New York Attorney General’s $250 million lawsuit that accuses the company of widespread bank fraud. Justice Arthur F. Engoron, who had to repeatedly step in during the AG’s three-year investigation to force the Trumps to testify and turn over documents, has finally lost his patience.
The judge, clearly exasperated and wincing from the bench as he spoke, scolded the company for its delay tactics.
“You can’t keep making the same arguments after you’ve already lost,” Engoron told the company’s lawyers.
He set the civil trial for Oct. 2, 2023, which means that Trump’s namesake company might be stripped of its ability to do business in New York in the midst of his next presidential run….

Then at 2 p.m., a panel of federal appellate judges in Atlanta indicated they are inclined to completely unravel Trump’s attempt to block the FBI, which is investigating the way he kept more than 100 classified records without permission at his oceanside Florida estate. At issue is whether it was appropriate for a MAGA-friendly federal judge—whom Trump himself appointed while he was president—to insert herself into the FBI’s investigation and take the unprecedented step of blocking special agents from reviewing the government records they’d seized.
Although questions still circulate over how Trump gamed the system to land District Judge Aileen Cannon, appellate judges on Tuesday squarely focused on the damaging precedent they could set by allowing her to keep the case—and continue making peculiar, one-sided rulings that limit a law enforcement investigation before there’s even an indictment….

Minutes later that afternoon, the Supreme Court denied Trump’s attempt to block Democrats on the House’s Ways and Means Committee from getting copies of his personal tax returns from 2013 to 2018. Supreme Court justices made the decision without even authoring an opinion….

Immediately following the Supreme Court’s decision, Trump lawyers were on a phone call at 3 p.m. with a Manhattan federal judge trying to brace for a new lawsuit claiming that the real estate mogul raped a journalist at a city department store in the mid-1990s. These allegations first surfaced when advice columnist E. Jean Carroll wrote a memoir, which led to Trump trash-talking her from the White House. Trump’s comments led to a defamation lawsuit—and a recent Trump deposition under oath that still isn’t public.
But now that New York’s new adult survivor’s law will soon allow victims to sue their abusers, Trump will face the same kind of legal action that ruined Bill Cosby. This lawsuit isn’t expected to raise any new issues, but it will target Trump directly—and his wallet….

Just when it seemed as if things couldn’t get any worse for Trump on Tuesday, the former president’s longtime trusted personal accountant plunged a knife into his back at 3:55 p.m.
Donald Bender, who stuck with Trump and the Trump Organization even as he worked at several different iterations of accounting firms, ended up testifying against the former president’s eponymous family company in Manhattan criminal court. That’s where the New York County District Attorney’s Office has the Trump Organization on trial for dodging taxes by allowing its full-time executives to avoid taxes in two different ways: paying themselves as “independent contractors” and getting untaxed corporate perks to minimize their on-the-books salaries….
