    New York (CNN) A federal judge on Monday dismissed President Donald Trump's effort to prevent his tax returns from being turned over to a New York grand jury.

    The ruling raises the likelihood that Trump's tax returns will be provided in response to the subpoena, although any material obtained through a grand jury subpoena is covered by grand jury secrecy rules, meaning it would likely become public only if it were used as evidence at a trial.

    Dismissing Trump's "extraordinary" claim that any occupant of the White House enjoys "absolute immunity from criminal process of any kind," US District Court Judge Victor Marrero said in a 75-page opinion that such a position "would constitute an overreach of executive power."

    Where did you go? I'm going to have to admit that anywhere but here could be called a pretty good vacation.
    Whoops, I forgot that you run this joint. Please, Master, don't ban me, my most exalted divine one.

    Have you seen their version of Monopoly over there. Every space is Kim Jong Un Ave, except execution (that's their version of jail...Do not pass Kim Jong Un, go directly to execution, the dogs are hungry) and all the properties come pre-owned by the fearless leader himself

    Though I hear Donald is negotiating getting a Trump tower added.

    I bet Herr Donald tweets that this judge is biased, and his sycophants follow suit.

    The Luxor is beautiful but their buffet is not good. Never been to the 4Queens.
    Best buffet used to be at the Mirrage. In more recent times the buffet has gone way down hill but it was still decent the last time we were there.
    Do now go to the buffet at Vegas World. Even their hotel rooms didn't seem that nice. Our room was actually dirty. You could see stuff on the floor of our room and on the floor of the elevators.

    The judge is Puerto Rican so you're probably going to be correct.

    Trump will win on appeal, as he has in every other abusive ruling by corrupt activist judges.

    why is he so adamant about hiding his taxes when all other modern day presidents and candidates have released their tax returns. Do ya think he might be trying to hide something? After all, he claims to be the most transparent president EVER. Seems like just another lie.

    A higher court has issued an immediate stay until the ruling can be overruled.

    This will very quickly end up in front of the Supreme Court, which is a good thing.

    Too bad there's so few abusive rulings regarding his Lordship.

    Then we can finally put it behind us and we can finally see what illegal dealings he's had with the Russians and perhaps many others.
