Democrats race to release Trump's tax returns: Committee will meet TUESDAY to decide if all of his records are released before Republicans take Congress

Democrats are racing to release information about former President Donald Trump's taxes before Republicans take control of Congress early next year.

Politico reported Friday that the House Ways and Means Committee will meet privately Tuesday at 3 p.m. to review the tax documents and vote on whether all or a portion of Trump's tax returns will be publicly released.

After a lengthy legal battle, House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal got his hands on Trump's tax returns in November....

...They consist of Trump's personal returns and returns from eight business entities, Politico said.

Democrats believe they're on solid legal footing to release the returns if the committee takes a vote....

“I imagine the usual left wing ‘reporters’ will be drafting their articles over the weekend to go to print on cue.”
————————
Yes, Left wing “reporters” who know nothing of how business or the tax code work - or that the tax code works the way it does because Congress made it that way, at the behest of lobbyists employed by business, and the fact that Dems have controlled the House (where tax legislation has to originate) 68 out of the last 90 years https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/jun/25/control-house-and-senate-1900/

While it was outright falsehoods regarding both guns and automobiles that woke me up (decades ago) to the fact that the media is completely uninformed and biased, on every single issue that I have ever had personal knowledge about, the media has gotten it wrong. I know quite a bit about the tax code and business, and the only media outlet that gets any of that right is the Wall Street Journal. I fully expect outright lies, and the elimination of any facts that might make Trump look like an ordinary businessman taking very ordinary deductions.

“On J3 the House should subpoena the tax returns of Paul Pelosi and Jill Biden just to be fair.”

Nanzi needs to be told, in no uncertain terms, that this WILL happen, along with an investigation into all of her and her husband’s business affairs since she entered Congress, if she allows this.

The IRS is the enforcement office and they have already audited these returns and found nothing.

The democrat ploy serves no legal purpose.
They are only trying to find some juicy gossipy item, even if legal, to slander Trump.

And these returns are already being leaked to CNN, WaPo. Etc.

Given President Trump’s wealth and life style, I’m sure the IRS, using their top analysts, have gone through these tax returns multiple times with a fine tooth comb.

In this case, I trust the IRS much more than some congressional jackleg committee. From a legal standpoint, I doubt there is much to see.

That’s right. If our side ever tries anything like that “Republicans” sanctimoniously declare that all laws and rules must be followed to the letter.

That goes for everything. This has been going on for decades, and many pretend and gaslight that it hasn’t.

This is totally what is going on.

Solzhenitsyn wrote about the courts at length in the Gulag Archipelago also.

And many of our “peers” pretend/gaslight/fool themselves (not sure what their ground game is) that all is right as rain, we just need to try harder! Get engaged! Knock doors!

You don’t get it.

There are no more Constitutional rights. Not since the 16th Amendment was “ratified.”

That Amendment nullifies the 1st, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendments, and as such essentially nullifies everything the Constitution once stood for.

We are all indentured servants to our Federal massah now.

Which boggles the mind because it doesn’t help the Republicans at all! Why do the Republicans do all this caving that only harms themselves? And the biggest question of all is why do people keep voting these idiots in?

I’m curious to see trumps taxes. At least to see what he’s worth that would be interesting from here to year. See what he makes and his tax rate.

Prediction: There’s no there there. Dems have been chasing the holy grail for six years, only to discover it’s a Dixie Riddle Cup.

The only difference between a Republican politician and a Democrat politician is that the Republicans are the submissive types who could not find an empty seat on the democrat side. Usually not very good at racketeering but will get the scraps that fall from the table as long as they fall in line with the democrats and go along to get along

the Democrat side is filled with Dominant ruthless sociopath personality types, practiced at the art of racketeering

it is hard to fly with two left wings

it's just a downward spiral

“...I believe the committee said that they wanted the tax files for legislative reasons ...”


Yes, that was the justification for their obtaining his tax records. Making them public serves no ‘legislative’ purpose. Ah, but it does serve a partisan purpose and that was really the whole point of the exercise.

Almost every legal voter in the USA is now filing or has in the past filed their tax returns.

This sort of Dem action could truly BACKFIRE.

I remember a photo with Trump on 4-14-17 signing his tax returns—The stack next to his left elbow was over 24” tall.
