The direction came in an opinion released Friday by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, which provides legal advice to the executive branch. "The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President's tax information." Under the department's interpretation of federal law, according to the opinion, "Treasury must furnish the information to the Committee.

>>. “The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information.”

They have NO standing.

What are they going to do? Impeach him again?

So what they are saying is, the IRS can’t be trusted. They should be abolished and all employees sent packing.

That is the aim. . .stop him from running again, and complex tax documents are open to many differing interpretations and that means the demon machine will go all out beast to destroy the man.

What sufficient reasons do they speak of? Surely some demon would have leaked the reasons they must have, should have access to his returns.

SCOTUS, a crap-shoot but the only way to shut the door on this muck-raking, that or having repubs take the House and Senate, and only then if RINOs get a spine.

This is all kabuki theater. Biden’s Treasury Department WANTS to give Trump’s tax returns to Congress. This ruling just gives them the cover to do so.

What about Joe Biden’s tax returns??

Did The Big Guy pay taxes on his 10% of tens of millions of dollars from China?

And the small minded peeps couldn’t understand why Lindsey G and Mitch McConnell pimping for this AG was a big problem.

This is more of the Republicans feeding Trump to the sharks.

Joe Biden has been protected for 25 years.

The Republicans opened up the State of the Union response by saying Joe is a good man.

This is all on the Republicans that protected Hunter and Joe’s brothers for 1,460 when they owned the Senate.

The government is merely a servant―merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.

That’s great, lets get it out there. New York State already got them anyway.

Now, I want to see if Hunter Biden paid Joe Biden’s bills with the money he got from China and Burisma, since Hunter Biden and the family complained they had to pay Joe’s bills. I want to know if Joe Biden claimed that money as a gift from his son and paid Federal Income tax on it or not.
