I don’t know.

Call it whatever you want, but Trump has some kind of Devine Protection.

Seriously, give that 92% of all stories by the media since 2015 are anti-Trump, the Deep State organized and plotting against him, Mueller and his gallery of Gestapos, the SUNY AG (which he can still control if Bill Barr works out), and the dems winning the House—he still has 52% public support!!!

He’s survived every blow. So far.

Frankly, I don’t think they will prevail. I really do not. Call it blind faith or hope, but something tells me so and it is higher than my own desire.

Would you rather see the tax returns of a billionaire who became a politician or a politician who became a multi millionaire while in office?

I read about a scheme where Waters gave her daughter the ‘responsibility’ of printing campaign flyers, and then the daughter went around collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from other candidates for various office to have their name and photo printed on the flyer... like a slate of candidates even though it was a mix of state, local and federal office.

Maybe this is not technically illegal - or maybe it is - but it clearly was a scheme to use political incumbency to enrich her family - to the tune of like $750,000! They could run this scam this twice every two years, once during primary season and once leading into the Congressional election. It seems like campaign finance fraud, passing money raised by many other candidates to the family of one candidate under the guise of being campaign expenses. Really it’s just a very loose payola scheme - the campaigns were paying $50k-$100k each to have their name next to hers. She must have one heck of a GOTV system in her district to warrant this kind of payday.

There is an FEC complaint filed against Waters over this.

They’re so sure his tax returns have some bad thing on them.

Personally, I don’t think so.

Gerrymandering. She moved to whichever district was drawn to give her the votes to win. She’s been there more than 2 decades!

I’d rather not see either one of their tax returns.

Your tax return is private. I don’t think Waters is dumb enough to put anything incriminating in her tax return. Donald’s been audited every year, so the IRS doesn’t have any evidence his return is fraudulent.

Trump’s tax return issue is just another distraction.

I do think Trump needs to get out ahead of this if he sees his associates flip like Cohen. They can always find crime. So he needs to warn the people that prosecutors are engaging in abuse. He also needs to get some dirt on the prosecutors.

IOW, he needs to find his inner LBJ.

But I’m right with you. We need to pray for him and ask for Devine protection. Pray psalm 56.

It doesn’t matter what his tax returns say, they will use it against him. They will say he isn’t worth what he claims he is worth, or that the returns don’t explain the wealth, or like during the campaign when they mysteriously received a copy of part of an old return claim he shouldn’t have been able to write off certain losses... they will say or do anything to weaponize them true or false.

#3. More importantly, Trump can get Waters’ wig maker and put them out of business for trying to make her look human.

Look out “Maxine The Bald”, Trump’s got your goat and he’s going to make shiskabob out of it.

"We’re going to get your tax returns, we’re going to find out."

H.R.273 - Presidential Tax Transparency Act of 2019.

Good luck with that political stunt, Mad Max.
Do you have the votes to override a veto?

"Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters vowed Saturday to get President Trump's tax returns an "find out" what he is hiding."

For a moment I thought that Rep. Waters wanted to check PDJT’s tax returns to make sure that he wasn’t paying taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

"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.


/sarc

Patriots need to support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

“multiple pass-through entities.”

This has been my suspicion for months. I think, by not providing the tax returns in the campaign period....he merely was ‘baiting the hook’, and waiting for them to come for the records.

While the head of the committee does have Constitutional power to ask for any return, of any American....once he gets this and sees the pass-through entities, he’ll demand the rest of the info. And there, he has no Constitutional power to make the President comply. IRS would have the legal power itself to make the President comply, but I seriously doubt that the chief of the IRS will get into this episode.

Meanwhile, I suspect the President will pick five Democrats (Nancy will be one) who he will release the past ten years of returns via Executive privilege. This was all baited to ensure they dug in this direction.

Mad Max, I’ve seen your congressional district and I’ve seen where you actually live.

How about you show me yours and we’ll show you ours?

Of course they support her. They hate Trump worse than she does because he is tying their hands.

Why doesn’t Trump weaponize the IRS to look into Mad Maxine’s fianances? She’s so dirty, she’d spend her life in jail.

>>Does Mad Maxine work for the IRS?

She doesn’t need to. Crooked IRSIS agents have been known to leak tax return info in the past. Such as when they illegally leaked the donor list to the Prop 8 campaign in California (which overwhelmingly passed by popular vote). That criminal leak lead to the ousting of the founder and CEO of Mozilla Firefox.

If he wasn’t safe, anyone can be fired for cause just because of how they voted or donated.
