Congressional Democrats are likely to request 10 years of President Trump’s tax returns in coming weeks, tailoring their inquiry in a way they hope will survive a court battle, according to lawmakers and others involved in the discussions.
The exact parameters of the request are still in flux, including whether to seek tax returns related to Trump’s many business enterprises in addition to his personal returns.
But Democrats led by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.), along with congressional lawyers, are in the advanced stages of preparing the request. They’re relying on a 1924 law that gives chairmen of House and Senate tax-writing committees broad powers to demand the tax returns of White House officials.
They said they are being deliberate so as not to make a mistake that jeopardizes the investigation.

Trump should tell them no and fight this all the way.
Oh, yeah. That'll work.
CIVIL WAR II. IF we have the nerve.
Agreed, then it’s only fair to see the returns for the VP and the Speaker as well, since she is 3rd in line for the presidency. Wow, is that ever a scary sentence!
1). They ain’t the IRS
2) Take the stance that Eric Holder did....go pound samd
We should have told them to go #### themselves 10 years ago.
We should do it now.
The winds of war are blowing.
Those of you who know me on this board for any length of time know I ALWAYS scoffed at such a notion and to my embarrassment, denigrated those who said such a thing was possible.
We HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON with 40 percent of the country anymore.
NOTHING.
Should have been like Romney where Reid said he’d not filed taxes in ten years. Have every one of those (D)’s submit theirs as well.
You’re asking for it aren’t they ?
Illegal to look at taxpayer’s tax returns.
How about 10 years of the Clintons, Pelosis’, Schumers’, Maxine Waters’,Nadler’s,Shiff’s ...oh wait, nothing to see here just move along.
ogunsiron a on forum said yesterday:
”I personally think it's a monumental failure that republicans can't even get organized and respected enough to be able to walk around in a maga hat unmolested everywhere in the USA.
I think it's an abject failure that the Trump admin does not have the back of its biggest fans.
It's a very sad state of affairs for conservatives that they are so incapable of sticking together that they can't make it OK to be openly displaying loyalty to POTUS and the political option of around 50% of the USA population. The democrats call you all racists and that's all they need to do and it works every single time.”
I agree.No nerve, no fight.
Expect the usual suspect RINOs to sign on to this democrat scam. Collins, Murkowski and Paul already are writing up their announcements, and Paul Ryan will be on TV agreeing.
And Mitch McConnell won’t say a word.
I'm thinking that Trump is such a marked man that if there was anything at all illegal about Trump's taxes, that the IRS would have had him arrested years ago.

I heard Sean Spicer on Fox. He is panting to hand over his documents. Can’t wait. After all, he will get some face time on the news.
With all the democrats that refused to comply, the Republicans are insane to submit to Frog Head.
Unless, of course, they go before him just for the opportunity to tell him to go to hell.
If it weren’t for the fact that they haven’t been leaked, I’d be very surprised if they don’t already HAVE his returns. On the other hand, it would be just like them to NOT leak them, so they can “build a case” against him, in advance. They very well could have obtained them from a crooked IRS, soon after he was nominated or elected. I put NOTHING past his enemies, and am convinced that the LORD is upholding his presidency.
Richie Neal used to go months without paying his cable bill. I had a relative working at the cable company. He would let it run up and they wouldn’t shut it off. Then about three months before the election season, one of his minions would come in and pay it all off.
He is a nice enough guy, but he is a Pelosi butt boy and pretty standard MA Liberal.
Trump ought to put out tax returns that resemble the cartoon that was Obama’s birth certificate. An obvious forgery.
