WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior Democrat on a congressional panel seeking President Donald Trumps tax returns warned on Saturday that the current Congress may not see the long-sought tax documents without launching an impeachment inquiry.
Representative Lloyd Doggett, who sits on the House Ways and Means Committee, said Democrats, who control the House of Representatives, were slow to request Trumps tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service and now need to push back forcefully against Trumps refusal to turn over the returns.
Because this request was delayed until April and no legal action has yet been filed to get the returns, it is certain we wont get them this year and perhaps (will face) some challenge to even get them with favorable expedited rulings by the time this Congress ends, Doggett, who chairs the House Ways and Means health subcommittee, told CNN.
That and the total obstruction by Trump have convinced me that we need to institute an impeachment inquiry, the Texas Democrat said. I just think we need a thorough investigation and a strong pushback immediately to a president who believes hes above the law.

What was your first clue, Lloyd?
Enough already. . .these reprobates have no common sense. If Jesus tarries, our nation’s history books will contain nothing substantial plus low on the Richter scale of truth.
Simply put, if you ain’t entitled to see them you ain’t gonna!
If dems impeach, McConnell would limit discovery in the trial to what Pres. Trump had for breakfasts along with Clinton’s and Obama’s dealings in 2016.
Didn’t the state of NY hand over his federal returns with his state ones?
I know there was some rumbling they were going to do that.
So, how come they NEVER say what law he's supposed to be above?
Looking in Hawaii was not the right place.
Need to search in Mombassa.
NYS cannot legally have his fed returns.
What business is it of yours, LLoyd to see a private citizen’s tax returns?
He doesn’t get his money from the taxpayers. so we do not have the right to see the returns.
Now after he is taking that ONE dollar/per year for being president, then maybe, MAYBE I want to see them.
But Lloyd, remember when you RAN from the taxpayers when we had the 4” binder of ObamaCare you wanted to pass? You got no right to these tax returns!
You told me to my face, you REFUSED to see me and answer questions “citizen to representative”. You got no rights here.
while true..
They are still trying.
