Yep, nothing else has worked so they are certainly getting desperate.
There’s little bad to learn from a tax return. It’s just the individual’s claim about how the year went. The IRS, which can ask for whatever proof it wants, has already checked it.
Others, who can ask for nothing but the return itself, aren’t going to find any golden arrows there.
The “golden arrow” is the propaganda efforts once they find something they can mischaracterize or outright lie about.
The real purpose is not to get any incriminating or seriously embarrassing information from PDJT’s tax returns, which will mainly show he’s a rich man who used all of the legal instruments in the Tax Code to reduce his liability, something just about as serious as showing a bear pooped in the woods. Instead, it’s a very sinister effort to get as much information about his businesses as possible to facilitate destroying them, him, and his family.
Good point. This has been my contention all along. I’m sure the IRS has gone through the returns with a fine tooth comb considering who the taxpayer is. I seriously doubt there is any there there.
The rats are just looking for publicity and fake news headlines.
Agreed. I’ve dug through corporate tax returns. Very boring.
