legal rationale

They're talking like the Trump administration is on shaky ground here. I don't think there is any basis in law where Congress can demand the tax return of anybody without criminal chargers or subpoena.

Trumps gotta start fighting back much harder. I'm sure there is boatloads of dirt on Democrats ... enough to make them pause to think.

That or start arresting people involved in interfering with the executive branch.

We don’t need congressional committees to scrutinize the tax returns of everyone on their enemies list. We have an IRS, and as they admitted, over-scrutinize conservatives already.

EXCELLENT!

Why would any Republican ask the Department of Justice for legal advice?

I’d love to see the tax returns and investment history of all members of congress. Let us see how they become millionaires.
