I suspect one goal will be to have him release his tax returns just as all recent presidents and candidates have done. Sure they are complicated, but they can be examined and boiled down to much simpler statements that we can all understand. How can we be asking Democrat candidates to release theirs if he won’t release his. Won’t we want to know how much Soros or the Chinese have aided a Dem candidate? Shouldn’t we want to know if our president is beholden to Russia in a compromising way?
Strongly disagree. Barring due process of law, no citizen should be required to release tax returns. That would be an open door to the type of witchhuntimg we see now.
Trump disclosed his finances as required by law.
His opponents want his tax returns to go on a fishing expedition.
Recent President’s and candidates generally release a synopsis of their tax returns not the whole thing. Trump has already done that and has explained on numerous occasions that the synopsis (it has a form name and number that I forget) is much more telling than if you saw the whole 5ft high worth of documents. With that many pages, one paragraph could be mistaken for any nefarious thing someone wanted to make it.
He also has released his taxes from previous years that are no longer under audit. But as Madcow showed, there was nothing wrong with them.
I swear the Dems think he does his own taxes. He pays very expensive lawyers to do his taxes and keep everything legal.
You are talking the difference between freedom and security. You can’t have both.
Constitutionally, we are all to be protected in our papers and our persons. If a person has committed a probable crime, the next step is to obtain a warrant. Perhaps then, a review of his private papers is in order.
They already know Trump hasn’t violated any laws regarding Russia. They are simply pissed, because he won’t reveal his wealth. They can’t force him to either. All they can do is try to blackmail him. Mueller has a professional reputation and history of such.
The unredacted FISA warrants tell a tale of horrific illegalities against Americans, not just trump.
Its unamerican to scrape together every facet of a person’s life in order to fit a fabricated crime, as was done to Kavanaugh.
“Shouldn’t we want to know if our president is beholden to Russia in a compromising way?”
Wow. Do you believe he is beholden to Russia?
I think we need to look at the prior administrations connection to Russia first and foremost. Has Trump broken any laws by not releasing his taxes?
Your post sounds like you’ve been watching MSNBC too long.
