A lawyer for President Trump has bad news for congressional Democrats crusading to release the presidents tax returns.
In a letter Friday, William Consovoy said the IRS is forbidden from divulging tax information without a legitimate legislative purpose.He also maintained that doing so would set a dangerous legal precedent
This, after House Ways and Means chair Richard Neal petitioned the IRS for six years worth of the presidents tax returns. Consovoy called the move a transparent effort to harass a sitting president, simply out of dislike for his politics.

Yabbut, Russia Russia Russia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And speaking of Russia - if the IRS becomes politicized like the NKVD in Russia, to go after its conservative political enemies, the enforcers should be treated like the NKVD enforcers should have been treated by honest citizens...
He couldn't be more correct with Pelosi, Neal, Nadler and Schiff leading the pack of Rats in the House in this fiasco.
The WH should release absolutely nothing to these partisan rat whores.
Precisely!
All the Demonic-Rats can go directly to Hell.
Right.
I don’t think President Trump is in the mood to accommodate Demonic-Rats.
He should seal all of his records by executive order.
File a constitutional challenge, if necessary
The Democrats are trying to use Soviet tactics to destroy a legally-elected President that they can’t defeat at the voting booth ... this is disgraceful
Perhaps the president can compromise. Maybe a release date of 2039 or so.
Does anyone have any doubt, any doubt at all, that they did this, and used the intel apparatus to spy on Romney in 2012?.
“Consovoy called the move a transparent effort to harass a sitting president, simply out of dislike for his politics”
Pretty much sums it up.
If people don’t like it that Trump hasn’t released his taxes...don’t vote for him.
Me? I could care less. Income taxes should be abolished anyway.

Bump!
Who gets to decide what constitutes "legitimate legislative purpose"? My guess is it'll be the courts.
As is the case with most any topic, the democrat politicians rely on the fact that their voter are stupid.
In this case they are trying to say tax returns will reveal every aspect of Trumps financial world. It does not.
I don’t recall submitting any tax returns showing how much money I owed or to whom. I don’t recall any of my returns indicating if I am worth a dollar or a billion.
Does anyone doubt that Obama Inc. didn’t see Trumps tax returns within 24-48 hours of Trump bringing up the Birth Certificate?
Orange Man flips bird!
Yet here is Lindsey( POTUS’s newest best friend) saying the following:

Someone should ask Lindsey if he released his tax returns when he ran for President.
