As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments pertaining to President Donald Trump’s tax returns, a former insider has delivered an ominous warning.
Trump is desperate to prevent his tax returns from being handed over to Congress in compliance with subpoenas. He’s especially desperate to keep them hidden from the American public.
His biographer Tim O’Brien recently wrote that Trump’s tax returns include shady bookkeeping and foreign entanglements that could expose Trump to criminal prosecution. O’Brien knows this because he and his lawyers got a look at the returns when Trump tried and failed to sue him in 2006.
And so, if the high court rules correctly that Trump must comply with the subpoenas and allow his tax documents to be delivered to Congress as the law dictates, his entire scheme would be unveiled.

But how far could Trump go to keep his taxes from being viewed and what length would he stoop if he knows he’s going down?
Well, former Apprentice staffer Noel Casler is warning that Trump would take America down with him instead of doing the right thing by resigning in disgrace like former President Richard Nixon.
If Trump thinks his tax returns are getting released, he would take us all down with him. He’s not as classy as Richard Nixon. (A sentence I never thought I’d write). @realDonaldTrump

This is similar to when Casler warned that if Trump felt cornered he’d “kill us all without a care” to save himself.
And having to allow his tax returns to be gathered in the discovery process from the accounting firm Mazars would certainly put Trump in a corner that he would not be able to escape. We’re talking about a thin-skinned narcissist who has access to the nuclear codes. If Trump is desperate enough, he could lash out like never before and start Armageddon as a distraction to keep himself from going to prison.
That’s something we should all be worried about, but it’s no reason for the Supreme Court to rule that he’s above the law.
