House Democrats take 1st step to obtain Trump's tax returns

[Psalm 73]

"This is why Communists are utterly evil..."

And make no mistake - they are Reds, through and through. Pelosi, Schumer, et al.
There will come a day of reckoning, though - maybe not in our lifetime, but they will not go away quietly, they will have to forced out at bayonet point.

[mewzilla]

These guys are making George III and Parliament look like pikers.

[GOPJ]

John Parkinson and Benjamin Siegel need to know the Republican base will NEVER ACCEPT A DEMOCRAT AS OUR PRESIDENT again.

From this point forward the Republican base will NOT respect the right of citizens to elect a democrat.

A democrat President will be seen as an enemy - not legitimate. We will pile on one investigation on the other forever. Our hatred will match and exceed that of democrats toward the man we elected.

Anxiety over his charitable giving? LOLOL. As if Trump hasn’t been central to charities and showbiz for decades. They’re really looking for the secret to success, as if it’s some line item that can just be replicated by anybody. But they won’t find that in his returns.

[gogeo]

Exactly so.

[SMARTY]

Will they put one tenth that much effort and resources into getting at Hillary’s e mails?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Let’s assume that they Subpoena his Tax Returns. Then, let’s suppose the IRS ignores the Subpoena. Who is going to enforce it? The Attorney General? I don’t think so. We have already learned that House Committee Subpoena’s can be ignored. What are they going to do? Hold the IRS Commissioner in Contempt? That was already done with the former AG under Obama and it didn’t mean a thing.

You still think the law matters? There justification is he ran for President using him money instead of being bought off by a miriade of industries like everyone else. Pathetic. Repukes are just dying to help them too.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Just what need..
Leakers investigating leaks.

[pepsi_junkie]

Good Lord is there anyone on this planet that trusts the FBI?

The returns will be published on the front page of the NY Times the day after congress gets them and the FBI will say two days later that there is no evidence of leaking and close the case.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Be it income taxes or consumption taxes, the Democrats will cheat and not pay their fair share.

[Hostage]

This kind of person was what the law was aiming at and since that era, the law is mitigated to provide protection from abusive fishing expeditions.

The import is this will be a grand waste of time which is par for the course for groups especially sponsored by the Democrat Party.

The Trump tax returns are reported to have been put together by stringent accounting firms and have been audited by the IRS every year.

As the public and news media see the spectacle unfold, the issue will grow tiresome without clear purpose other than adding to the perception of witch hunt.

When the level of tedium becomes unbearable, when the facts emerge that the tax returns have been audited without referral to the DOJ and RS CD, the perception of witch hunt will grow to the point that the public will throw the Democrats out in 2020.

[trebb]

Should tell them that as soon as those who want access to his records provide all their records, he’ll be happy to reciprocate....

[an amused spectator]

Here's what people don't understand, and what the Media, which is Democrat, refuses to tell us.

The IRS requires us to share any of our private financial information that it deems to be needed in return for strict privacy guarantees.

Once the guarantee is violated, we are no longer bound by their phony guarantees. At that point, a legal assault on any citizen by the IRS could be treated as a physical assault with intent to commit murder-by-government.

The Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau can only seek cooperation from citizens in fulfilling their duties by guaranteeing similar privacies.

The Department of Commerce guarantee is a BLANKET guarantee - NO OTHER government agency is allowed to view Commerce "PII".

The IRS has a very short list of governmental entities allowed to view IRS PII.

Lois Lerner committed hundreds of serious felonies by releasing tax PII to unauthorized parties. The felonious 0bama administration never prosecuted those crimes.

We're actually already at the point where the government has gone over the bright red line.

[Wuli]

will not get passed by the senate, so it is just political posturing

[oldasrocks]

It’s time for Trump to pass around the list of all the hush money used by whom in the House to cover up crimes and sex acts.

[skimbell]

DJT should tell the democrats that he seems to have misplaced his returns.

"Can't recall" where they could be, but that the last time he saw them, they were in a box with obama’s birth certificate, school,transcripts and a couple of his Social Security cards.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Moonbats and assorted progressive parasites are running the House.

[seanmerc]

EVERY American should be concerned by this. If they do it to the President, they could do it to you next.

Can you imagine the hue and cry that would’ve gone up if the Republicans did this to Obama or the Clintoons?
