Somehow, in his desperate effort to keep his tax returns out of the hands of prosecutors, President Donald Trump has lost in federal court five times. And, remarkably, even after those stinging rejections by the courts, it’s still not over yet. Trump is now down to his final shot to prevent prosecutors from getting his tax returns. He’ll almost certainly lose on the merits — but if the goal was simply to drag this dispute out beyond the election, then he’ll have won, despite all the losing.
