Breaking: New York State To Let Congress See Trump’s State Tax Returns
Saraacarter ^ | May 22, 2019 | Jennie Taer

New York State lawmakers on Wednesday gave their final approval to legislation that would allow Congress to obtain President Trump’s state tax returns.

The bill, which is expected to be signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, would lift an existing state restriction on revealing an individual’s tax returns. It says the state Commissioner of Taxation and Finance shall release those returns if requested by the House Ways and Means Committee, Finance Committee, or Joint Committee on Taxation.

Federal | Article I, Section 3: No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

State | Article I, Section 10: No State shall ... pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law,

This is a slam dunk Section 1983 violation. President Trump could IMMEDIATELY arrest and imprison most of the government of New York State.

And that is an encouraging thought.

All of these records are from BEFORE he was president, or even a declared candidate! Where is the SCOTUS on this? Can Trump make an emergency appeal?

If President Trump moves to Florida, this law will have no effect.

I believe that the permission to examine goes well beyond President Trump’s taxes, and covers anyone that they want to examine, or at least any politician. More details needed.

Bill of attainder
A bill of attainder is an act of a legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them, often without a trial. As with attainder resulting from the normal judicial process, the effect of such a bill is to nullify the targeted person’s civil rights, most notably the right to own property, the right to a title of nobility, and, in at least the original usage, the right to life itself. Bills of attainder passed in Parliament by Henry Vlll on 29 January 1542 resulted in the executions of a number of notable historical figures.

We need to find a James Bond type and get a hold of all of Obama’s sealed docs. I’d love to see them.

We all know for a fact that the intent is to get Trump, in any way possible.

However, the legal requirement for a law to be considered a “Bill of Attainder” is that it mention a specific person. This law does not, so it isn’t a Bill of Attainder - even though the intent is clear.

Trump should order federal investigators to shut them down. Showing tax returns is aguinst the law.

This law is clearly unconstitutional because it specifically targets President Trump. Federal courts will stop New York from sending Trump’s tax returns to congress.

This is nothing but a gang of lunatics howling at the moon.

If President Trump moves to Florida then this law will be moot.

For Obama to have a school record, he must have gone to school. I have thoughts that he might not have even have gone to Yale. No one remembers him. He had everything sealed. So how do we know.

The anti-American amoral demon slave party will do as they want, without any accountability. They act illegally, with impunity, and therefore are above the law, and all Americans are subject to them, and belong to them.

Just look at the bank records the deeply corrupt and socialist Maxine Waters obtained on Trump.

The left intends to destroy America by any means necessary, and is either going to drag us into a massive bloody civil war, or formally enslave us all with their army of ignorant amoral younger generations.

They are counting on it.
