House Democrats plan to force a floor fight with Republicans on Thursday over legislation that would require President Trump to disclose information about his personal taxes, business holdings, ethics waivers, and visitors to the White House and his vacation properties.

They think taxes = Russia gold. They keep digging.
May as well add Social Security #, and passport to the list.
Since we’re talking about documents we’ll never see.
Private records for thee but not for me.
It’s none of their damn business. If he released his taxes, that would still not satisfy them. Tell them to f off, Trump.
Obama was the one that got a judicial ruling to conceal WH visitor logs... Believe it was his buddy Garland
Shame too because it would have been interesting to know how many times Comet Ping Pong pizza chef James Alefantis spent the night and who he brought with him
Even if they got 100% of the House and Senate to vote yes, they still could not compel POTUS to release anything he does not want to release.
They simply have no way to enforce it.
I hope somebody stands up on the floor and reminds them of that.
Nope, and it would be a terrible precedent if it ever became law. A person does not forfiet his or her constitutional right to equal protection under the law just because they run for president and the opposite party doesn’t like them.
Make the ‘rats take a twice a day drug and alcohol test.
Did they want the Clintons to send over all of their information on everything?
Tell B.Hussein Obama to unlock that lock box with all his records in it...
Tell Granny Benghazi aka Hillary Clinton to release all emails on her private server, the ones she and her handlers removed before releasing any thing to the FBI..
Tell Al Sharpton and George Soros pay up all their back taxes..
and tell Maxine Waters to shut the hell up on her stupid rants on the POTUS...
BY THE WAY, HOUSE, DEMOCRATS ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING...NOR ARE THE SENATE DEMOCRATS..TIME TO WAKE UP..YOU TURDS LOST...
No Bills of attainder comes to mind.
How sad, but it keeps people from looking st the corruption of Obama and the Democrats.
House Democrats to force vote on bill requiring Trump to release his taxes, visitor logs
Even the Suckocrats can’t be that stupid.. can they? Don’t bet on it.
Trump should agree to release visitors’ logs - in exactly the same format that Hussein did. I understand his logs were about 90% redacted.
No, a Bill of Attainder is the legislature simply declaring guilt of a person/group.
I think this is more a fifth amendment issue:
Amendment VThough that's shaky, as there's no current criminal case; but insisting that the compelling to produce the evidence with which to bring a criminal case is certainly going against the spirit of the law... besides, one could argue that being compelled to furnish the alleged evidence of wrongdoing is testifying against yourself in a criminal case even if such hasn't yet gotten a case-number and docket.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
This is the same political party that still has members wearing masks as they attack civil rights with violence, all while preposterously claiming a moral high ground--mostly based on past sins of America that were condoned by their own party.
Since never, that's when. Apparently the slow-to-adjust Democrats are still struggling with learning how to behave like The Minority.
You will debate, and vote on, those items the Majority Leader brings to The Floor. In "consultation," of course, with the Minority Leader, whose requests he'll consider, right before tossing them in the trash.
BOOM! (mic drop)
I figure he will bait them along until 2020 and then embarrass them with them right before the election.
“I’m still waiting on Bill Clinton’s medical records.”
Trump’s Tax Returns are under Obama’s birth certificate and college transcripts, and Bill Clingon’s medical records are on top of Obama’s “paperwork.” And on top of all of that, is the DNA test that shows the world who Chelsea’s “ real father” is!
