I know things got punted, but make no mistake about it: Trump definitely did lose today.

Yes, the lower courts could take their sweet time sorting things out, meaning we might not immediately see the tax returns and financials before the election.

But the issue will still be hanging over Trump's head and we will continue to ask why Trump refuses to release these documents all the way up to November. It will still be a strong point of debate even without seeing the documents themselves.

Trump wanted a quick and immediately kill today, and he was absolutely denied. Even by the two guys he appointed.

Trump is hiding something, Trump committed Fraud, Trump got his money from Russia....those are all true and implied unless he shows his taxes.
