1. That sounds like it maybe ... sucks? (nt)

[Atticus]

2. Was this not more or less expected as such stays are often granted? nt

7. I think so. And hey, it keeps Trump's taxes in the headlines for a few more weeks...

...as the election looms. Many (including myself) will have voted while this is still being banged around in court.

3. Guilty people need all the help they can get

to postpone that evil day of reckoning.

4. Normal

5. Not unexpected. Honestly, would have been shocked if it was denied.

Relatively short briefing schedule.

6. Didn't Vance already pull the request pending the hearing anyway

[lagomorph777]

9. No, he decided to allow Trump to request the stay.

10. Ah

8. UNC coach Dean Smith would be proud of the Trump legal team

Haven't seen successful stall tactics like this since the four corners offense prior to the advent of the shot clock.

11. If there is one thing Trump does well

it’s to stall legal proceedings against him. This has been his MO his entire career.
This time, it might hurt him: these cases are not going away if he loses the election. He’s going to find he has a lot fewer options to delay action against him once he’s out of office.

12. This is such bullsht

13. "Mr. President,

what is in your tax returns that you are afraid the American people will see?”

14. Cy Vance had a chance on August 28th and August 31 when there was no stay

Cy Vance voluntarily chose not to enforce the subpoena and allowed the appeal to proceed.

This means two things - 1. He already has enough ammo from Deutsche Bank records to file charges and 2. He did not want to fuck up the admissibility of the evidence by enforcing a subpoena and then have it tossed out of the criminal case.

So, today's ruling means nothing. Somewhere in Cy McCoy's office there are tax lawyers and CPAs going over the Deutsche Bank documents already and we shall hear from the grand jury in a few weeks. Making false statements on a loan application is a felony and Trumpies must have done it at least 500 times in those applications and all of them must have signed the documents.

15. Good analysis. Very well put. nt
