Top House Republican calls for probe of source of NYT Trump tax documents
The Hill ^ | 09 28 2020 | JUSTINE COLEMAN

Posted on 09/28/2020 7:54:45 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) called on Monday for a probe into the sources of The New York Times story that detailed up to nearly two decades of President Trump's tax documents and business dealings.

Brady, the head Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, released a statement on the Times report that published on Sunday, saying a “felony crime was committed” by giving Trump’s tax information to the newspaper.

"While many critics question the article’s accuracy, equally troubling is the prospect that a felony crime was committed by releasing the private tax return information of an individual - in this case the President’s,” he said.

“To ensure every American is protected against the illegal release of their tax returns for political reasons, I am calling for an investigation of the source and to prosecute if the law was broken,” he added.

Yeah, how did the NYT obtain these tax forms?

I'm glad someone is asking the question.

How come we don’t get leaks from the Durham investigation that could help Trump?

Isn’t there some law against obtaining someone else’s financial data without their permission?

Good for Brady.

I don’t expect much to come out of his ‘calling for a probe of source’ of NYT tax hit piece, thought.

Which district is conducting the investigation into Trump’s taxes and business dealings?

SDNY.

The U.S. Attorney in the SDNY has it out for Trump, and she no doubt had something to do with it. She’s working for the democrats, and she and democrats and the liberal media, will do anything to harm Trump in the final days until the election.

...saying a “felony crime was committed”...

This is some of the most fake news I've seen on The Hill. Brady didn't say a crime was committed.

"... the prospect that a felony crime was committed..."

"...I am calling for an investigation of the source and to prosecute if the law was broken..."

Why are legislators calling for probes? How about they legislate the removal of legislation for a while? Like five decades worth. “Burn it down” as it were.
