美国最高法院称纽约大陪审团可获取川普的纳税申报单
http://finance.sina.com 2020年07月09日 07:33
美国最高法院支持纽约大陪审团要求获取总统唐纳德·川普纳税申报单及其它财务记录的传票,驳回川普给予在任总统刑事调查完全豁免权的要求。
首席大法官John Roberts在裁决中写道:“总统既不能在寻求获得其私人文件的州刑事调查传票面前享有绝对豁免,也无权享有更高的需要标准。”这项裁决以7-2票获得通过,大法官Clarence Thomas和Samuel Alito持异议。

是这样的:
还记得几年前川普公还不是总统,还在竞选时,说过要披露他老人家的税表吗?
有好事者列了张表,把他老人家说的一一列举:
In April 2011, Trump said that when President Barack Obama produces "his birth certificate ... I’d love to give my tax returns". Obama's birth certificate was released a week later, resulting in Trump saying his tax returns would be released "at the appropriate time".
- 2011年时就说了要披露税表,结果是没有。
In 2012, Trump implored for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's tax returns to be released on April 1, which "historically is the time that everybody gives them".[29] That year, Trump also said that not seeing a presidential candidate's tax returns would lead people to think there was "almost, like, something wrong. What's wrong?"
- 2012年时说如果总统候选人不披露税表,会让人觉得有甚么地方不对劲。
In May 2014, Trump said in an interview: "If I decide to run for office, I’ll produce my tax returns, absolutely and I would love to do that."
- 2014年时说如果要出马竟选,他绝对会披露税表。
In February 2015, Trump said that if he ran for the presidency: "I would release tax returns". On another occasion that month, he declared: "I have no objection to certainly showing tax returns". Trump announced his candidacy for President in June 2015.
- 2015年2月时说啦,他如果要选总统,他就会披露税表。(他老人家同年6月时宣佈要选)。
In January 2016, Trump was asked by Chuck Todd if he would release his tax returns, to which Trump answered: "we'll be working that over in the next period of time, Chuck. Absolutely. [...] at the appropriate time, you'll be very satisfied." In February 2016, Trump said that he would release his tax returns "[p]robably over the next few months. They’re being worked on now."
- 2016年2月受访问时说了,再过几个月可能就要展示税表了。
Later that month, Trump said that he could not release his tax returns because he was under audit.
- 之后他老人家说了,他正在被查稅,所以不能透露税表。
The IRS commissioner at the time, John Koskinen, said that an IRS audit does not prevent the taxpayer from releasing tax returns.
- 当时的IRS头头于是说了,你被查税也还是可以披露税表的呀,IRS没禁止的。
"In interview I told @AP that my taxes are under routine audit and I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after election!"3:51 PM · May 11, 2016
- 2016年5月11日说的 - 查税查完后就披露税表,不会拖到选举完了之后。

说是这样说,但到了2019年,税表还是没个影子。2019年8月曼哈顿检察官发出传票开始调查他老人家(为了付封口费给成人女星Stormy Daniel的事,那又够他老人家喝一壶的),但川普公不给就是不给还打起了官司,结果一审败诉,二审也败,官司一路打到联邦最高法院,今天终于判了下来。
这就是俺们守信用,号称promises made promises kept的总统。呵呵。
