Democrats are quietly planning to use an obscure and rarely used law to examine President Donald Trump’s tax returns if they are able to take control of a congressional chamber in the wake of the midterm elections.
Trump’s tax returns, which have remained mostly concealed to this point, could be the target of a 1924 law that permits the chairmen of Congress’ tax committees to look at anyone’s returns. Democrats say they will use this power to help answer a long list of questions about Trump’s finances, reports Politico.
“Probably the approach would be to get all of it, review it, and, depending on what that shows, release all or part of it,” Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas, the No. 4 Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, told Politico.

Waste of time Hillary would have found something and used it already
Back to this again..
Then have the IRS stonewall the Dems the way the DOJ has stonewalled on Russiagate.
So, what are the RATs planning to do and talk about that is a great thing for the American People?
I guess nothing but revenge games. Wow Whoop tee do.
The Democrats already have his tax forms and leaked them to the press.
Didn’t these idiots weaponize the IRS against the right???
If there was anything remotely salacious or illegal, it would have already surfaced.
Yup. Rachel Madcow devoted an entire show to it, and we learned that DJT paid ZERO taxes due to a capital gains loss.
And if they can’t legally release it, they will just “leak” it, because obviously there are zero consequences in Washington.
If the Dems win the House, the Republicans could repeal this law before Jan. 20.
What a silly thing to fixate on.
Great! When the Republicans hold both houses they can look into Feinsteins tax returns and see how much she may have made colluding with her Chinese spy driver of 20 years!
I wonder if this so-call “obscure law” could be used to access their messianic odongo’s college records? It would be interesting to see just what that faggy twit has been hiding.
Ok, ALL taxes of ALL employees of the Federal Government need to show ALL of their taxes.
No, he paid $38 million in taxes in 2005.
That works for me.
Before you can get or in order to keep any Federal position you have to release everything.
All President Trump has to do is say that if any of his personal information, taxes or otherwise, get released without his permission, he promises to issue a pardon to anyone who releases any information on zerobama or any other democrat.
Private citizen Trump paid more in taxes in one year than I’ll ever earn in my lifetime.
Impressive.
