House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal is not backing down on his request for six years of the President Donald Trump's personal and business tax returns, he writes In a new letter sent Saturday to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig.

In a two-page letter, Neal writes that he believes his committee is well within its rights to see the President's tax returns and that he expects a decision from the IRS within the next 10 days.

"I expect a reply from the IRS by 5:00 p.m. on April 23, 2019. Please know that if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request," Neal writes.

Why wait out the deadline? The Treasury Department and the IRS should respond immediately with a big NO.

“Please know that if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request, Neal writes.”

What a scary threat. Send Neal copies of Hillary’s Tax Returns with a cover letter saying we had to redact the name and ss#.

They can’t legally get it...... And they know it.

Right....the plan is to have voters think Trump has something to hide.

Democraps have only one agenda.....to sow confusion among the electorate.

How many requests by the Republican House were met with denials, stalls or silence by agencies under the Obama administration?

Turnabout = fair play

The IRS Commissioner should reply that if he complys, he will also be releasing copies of every members of Congress’s returns since 4 years before they were first elected to the DOJ for audit.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Reply once again, saying that it would be illegal to allow ANOTHER fishing expedition through Trumps tax returns, which were legally filed and contained no issues that required any further IRS action.

Please know that if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request,"

Then, I guess: "REQUEST DENIED".
