Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett said Tuesday that IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin should be jailed or fined for stonewalling congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s tax returns.
Doggett, D-Texas, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Tuesday that congressional Democrats need to employ what's known as "inherent contempt" for Trump officials defying committee requests and subpoenas for Trump’s financial information.
“I believe that there is no legal advice that will stop the lawlessness and lies of this administration, and that is why Congress needs to act firmly now to use every tool it has available to get this information that Trump so fears that the public will see,” Doggett told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tuesday night.
“To take action, I believe it’s going to require fines or confinement under our power of inherent contempt to get the information we need and to get all these other people that, under what seems to be gang rule, are told don’t say anything and don’t provide anything,” he continued. “Total silence, total obstruction.”

How about “I do not recall?”
How about President Clinton’s medical (cocaine and STD) records????
When will Lois Lerner be imprisoned for her crimes?
FOAD!
Doggett would look good at the end of a rope.
This is just one more reason we need another type of tax system. One that doesn’t discriminate and one where we don’t have the government watching every transaction we perform.
F the IRS.
See tagline.
Nothing like a good curb-stomping to get his mind right...
Unless they are accusing President Trump of some specific violation, that demand is nothing more than a fishing expedition. Tell ‘em to pound sand.
After you, Lloyd.
He’s such an embarrassment to Texas and only gets re-elected time and time again on name recognition.
Do it! Do it, you f$&@!
Not gonna happen Lloyd.
Well, I’m neither Dem nor Republican, but I want all current Democrat scumbag politicians to be hanged until dead.
Neither have grounds, well okay I think my proposal has more grounds with the current bunch.

This is interesting -— Who is going to execute the order to jail?
4th amendment !
The problem for us is that the media are on the dims side.
And you know what? The PROBLEM WITH THE DIMS IS THAT THE MEDIA IS ON THEIR SIDE.
Americans are beginning to see just what the media is doing.
There will be hell to pay if the dims keep on doing this.
People WILL NOT STAND FOR IT IN THE LONG RUN.
Larry Elder just said President Trump’s approval rating in the Black community is 24 per cent! That’s 3x what it was. And the Spanish community is 45 percent!
Bad news for the Left.

***************
The Dems are following their Dear Leaders (Obama/Hillary/Pelosi/Schumer), and doubling down, by continuing to weaponize the IRS against any and all, who question their agenda.
I want EVERY LAST DEMOCRAT jailed and tried for treason. Their primary party objective is to destroy the US from within. They have no interest in maintaining our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!
“I believe that there is no legal advice that will stop the lawlessness and lies of this administration, and that is why Congress needs to act firmly now to use every tool it has available to get this information that Trump so fears that the public will see,”
Because Congressional Democrats will violate the law and release the info to every news organization in the US.
Take it to court Bozo.
Thank you.
I’ve been saying that very thing all along
The returns are too complicated to leak, They want to reveal items DAILY out of context to kill Trump by a thousand paper cuts.
