Donald Trump Dismisses Democrat Demand for Six Years of Tax Returns
Breitbart ^ | 3 Apr 2019 | CHARLIE SPIERING

President Donald Trump dismissed the news that House Democrats asked the Internal Revenue Service for six years of tax returns on Wednesday.

“Is that all? Oh. Usually, it’s ten so I guess they’re giving up,” Trump replied when asked about the news by reporters at the White House.

House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) requested six years of Trump’s taxes, thwarting the president’s decision not to release them during his run for office.

Ridiculous.

They are just trying to harrass him to try to find something, anything to use against him.

Mnunchin can axe this, and must. Sen. Grassley said the request has “no legitimate legislative or oversight purpose” and was thus INVALID.

How many times has a Democrat president ignored Republicans? Finally, we have a Republican president who isn’t afraid of his shadow, and he’s dishing the Democrats a helping of their own medicine.

It’s delightful.

Trump doesn't get to say 'no.' Only Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin gets to say 'no,' then explain to a court why he said 'no.'

So the question is, does Trump go to court first to get an injunction against the request, or does Mnuchin decline the request and the Democrats go to court to compel the Treasury Department to furnish the documents?

Ok. Lets investigate how these senators on a salary of 100,000 + become multimillionaires Pelosi for example.... Feinstein. They all wet their beak at our expense with deals for husbands , relatives etc...

What a joke. Here’s a legit businessman , compared to their kabuki theater jobs, and they think he’s a crook...

Cut me a break

A hostile IRS audits him every year for decades. If there was something there, it would have been leaked long ago.

Has any “reporter” asked why they are asking for Trump’s tax returns? Without probably cause I would think a search is illegal.

I’m assuming the Democrats have to give a reason for their request for the records?

I have decided to release my Tax returns and I have also signed an Executive Order requiring the Treasury Dept to PUBLISH the Tax Returns of every Member of Congress and Staff members at the same time they publish mine.

Thank You.

They all know that the IRS is forbidden to comply with their demand without adjudication.

Donald Trump Dismisses Democrat Demand for Six Years of Tax Returns

Partner, the House and Ways Committee Chairwoman is "Maxine Waters" and she already has Dementia and she already has Alzheimer's disease. She is going to be 83 years old this year or maybe already is 83 years old.

Our POTUS should demand that she get an examination for Alzheimer's disease and Dementia before he releases anything to that "Witch."

"How do you like them apples Maxine Waters???"
