WASHINGTON - Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will begin to seek President Donald Trump’s 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 president’s tax returns,” she said, speaking to reporters. “I’m sure the White House will resist, so the question is where do we go from there.”

What LEGAL jurisdiction or purpose does the incoming House have in obtaining Trump's tax records? Answer - NONE! It is just part of the greater unconstitutional witch hunt that began long before he was even inaugurated.

Remember - these same Dems were calling for his impeachment literally within days of his electoral victory.

Therein lies a problem: the Democrats committed such fraud in the election that in reality the people did NOT CHOOSE THEM. The people did not speak.

What about Obama’s birth certificate?

[jersey117]

The way these people operate they’ll probably raid his CPA’s office. A pox on all of them.

[albie]

Good! Don’t do anything constructive...ever. Just like your constituents. Painting, sculpture, Starbucks, xbox.

Heir Pelosi is of the same party as the Clintons - you know, who weaponized the FBI for political purposes (including pallets of FBI files on their political enemies - more fitting for a Russian/Soviet Premier than a US President).

What about Obama’s birth certificate?

Darn tootin.

The first thing Trump should do is instruct the Treasury to DESTROY all of his records more than 7 years old.

The second is to ensure that he blocks the IRS from cooperating with the NY AG.

Let her muddle with only the state records.

Wait a minute...let’s see criminal nan’s and her criminal husband’s tax returns.

Somebody please message me when Pelosi mentions something about jobs and economy.

[Amendment10]

On Pelosi’s behalf it would be interesting to see all the unconstitutional federal taxes that Pres. Trump pays.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

I thought only the IRS had access to your tax return. O

Democrats (socialists, globalists, cabalists) are not interested in preserving the Republic. Their interest lies in attacking those engaged in preserving the Republic. Is it time to make a list of names and faces for the card deck when Civil War II erupts? Trump will not go down easy; Trump is surrounded by folks like me (us) who will see to that, and I (we) are willing and able to do our part.

[Bommer]

Why? No one on this forum will participate. Keyboard warriors while the fascists violently overthrow the country.

[butlerweave]

Why ?

[Stevenc131]

Actually, there is a law that says Congress, House or Senate, can request anyone’s tax returns. Problem for Democrats is that the Republican Senate can request the tax returns of Dem leaders in the House.

[bgill]

How about they show us theirs first.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

How about we see tax returns for Nana Piglosi and her husband?

[kempster]

I hope Trump tells her where to go.

[Gritty]

Piglosi is going to have a hard time examining them in her prison cell.
