WASHINGTON - Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will begin to seek President Donald Trumps tax returns - a move likely to prompt outrage from the White House - when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.
The House Ways and Means Committee will take the first steps, said Pelosi, who has the backing of her members to become the next speaker of the House in January.
There is popular demand for the Congress to request the presidents tax returns, she said, speaking to reporters. Im sure the White House will resist, so the question is where do we go from there.

What returns?
I guess the rule of law means nothing any more.
Lets just do whatever we feel like doing.
The way I state that proposition is:
If there is no law
There is no law.
In a lawless society, many are living on borrowed time. They have no protection
I’m not wearing a yellow vest for it.
“...so the question is where do we go from there.
Nancy I have a suggestion, but you’ve heard me say it to you before.
Hi guy, I hope you are doing well.
“What returns?”
Yep. Personal or business? If personal, that is a Bill of Attainder.
Plus, even if the business returns were confiscated, the democrats and their co-conspirators couldn’t read or understand them anyway. Would take leftist CPAs years.
Me 18 months.

That would take the wind out of the liberals' sails.
I've argued for years that a president, any president, should order the Audit from Hell (Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Audit) for every Member of Congress, governor, committee chairs and ranking members, and mayors, city council chairs, and county council chairs of all local jurisdictions with over one million people. Basically, audit the ranking members of America's political class, across the board and every year. Tell them that this will continue permanently, and if Congress doesn't like the hassle, Congress can pass real tax reform that massively simplifies the system.
Any president who does this will be reelected in a landslide.
That should be: committee chairs and ranking members of state legislatures.
Id like to see President Trump get the tax returns,
So would I but there are laws that bar that. Nixon used to get tax returns and it got those who provided them into trouble.
There is a law wherein the joint tax committee has authority to see the president’s returns. She is not on that committee. IMO, if any info were to leak after they got his returns, or anyone elses, Trump should pull out all stops in insuring those who did it go to jail.
Fishing expeditions are unconstitutional. But who is going to enforce the law?

Someone there should find where pelosi got all her money.. how much she raked in from special interest. Get her returns also.
And... obama set up a new law... use the IRS to stop those he did not like.
I am surprised they have not been leaked already! There has to be a few unscrupulous Rats running around the IRS! Sure, all access should be tagged with the requestor, but they would simply say, hacked! Or, I didn’t lock my computer, or some other crap. Once it is out, it cannot be put back.
The real reason the Democrats what Trump’s tax returns is to leak selected portions of them to imply that there is malfeasance. They know well enough that if there really were any irregularities, they would have been resolved years ago. Again, fishing expedition.
Fixed it
And how much is this going to cost taxpayers?
For the life of me, I know absolutely no one who cares about this issue.
It’s gone.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST DO THIS! HE MUST GIVE THEM HIS TAX RETURNS!
He should do so on the eleventy-fifth of Nevervember.
I suspect that Forbes would jump on the case and prepare fake news articles.
As a 40 year Frorbes subscriber, I am disgusted at their not only never Trump but anti Trump attitude
Absolutely .
