House Democrats Are In Possession of 6-Years of Trump Tax Returns.

[MagicMike]

Maybe. Not sure why this isn’t the purview of the IRS and not his political enemies in the house.

Checks and balances on government.

It IS (one of) the functions of the Legislative Branch to hold the Executive Branch accountable.

Now some may say once he became a private citizen then his returns should have been off limits to Congress but that is innacurate.

the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Committee on Finance and the Joint Committee on Taxation have the right to access anyone's tax returns at any time via the subpoena process, which has been done in Trump's case.

Also it is important to keep in mind that the request for Trump's records was put in place YEARS ago...while he was still in office. It is only his habit of stalling the legal process and drawing everything out that has resulted in this long delay.

The practice of making the returns public (which EVERY single presidential candidate before Trump has willingly done) is simply so that Congress and the American peole can be assured that their POTUS doesn't have any ugly skeletons in his financial closet that might compromise him (and the nation) to foreign and/or domestic enemies.

In other words a clean and above-board financial track record goes straight to the POTUS' fitness for office.

It's not "political."
It's just good business practice.

That would make sense if he were in the executive and not currently being audited by the IRS. This is a political fishing expedition which will end up being the same as the stupid impeachments.

What Trump is or isn’t worth is irrelevant. What reason does the House have to go digging through his tax returns other than for political fodder? If there’s an issue with his taxes the IRS should be able to handle it.

Trump is a liar, that's why it's relevant. He's under investigation for tax fraud, among other things.

15 seconds after they got Trump's taxes.

In the first place what laws did the Trump kids violate? In the second place the Trump kids were running a business and had experience in that business.

What laws did Hunter violate?

All at this point in both cases is speculation.

China Grants 18 Trademarks in 2 Months to President Trump, Ivanka

The Chinese government granted 18 trademarks to companies linked to President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump over the last two months, Chinese public records show, raising concerns about conflicts of interest in the White House.

***snip***


All the trademarks were applied for in 2016.

“These trademarks were sought to broadly protect Ms. Trump’s name, and to prevent others from stealing her name and using it to sell their products,” Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s ethics attorney, said in an email. “This is a common trademark practice, which is why the trademark applications were granted.”

Yet….suddenly, after a meeting with Xi….they came through.

Hunter Biden didn’t know a damn thing about the jobs he was hired to do. His only value was to be used as a bagman for bribes pay for his father’s influence. It would be too obvious to give Joe Biden the money so Hunter received it.

That's not why they got his returns & why that pile of shit has been fighting them all this time. And guess what? The bastard ordered Mnuchin not to comply with the order to release them. It seems to me that you Trump asslickers are afraid of what may be revealed as much as he is.

 

[Coyote]

you have zero idea - this is pure speculation driven by emotional hatred of the man. how you feel about someone has zero bearing on their guilt or innocence.


oh look - more whataboutisms you hate when others do. but it sure your own first line of defense, isn't it?


huh? you continue to compare trump activities as ILLEGAL yet you compare them to biden family activities, then ergo, you should also consider THESE illegal, correct? otherwise, why compare? this is what is really funny about talking to you. you run to a whataboutism as a defense but the only way that would be "correct" is if the original activity would also then be considered illegal.

instead you simply say "they did something wrong, we can too" and we get the cesspool of bullshit we're all living in now cause "children" can't control their emotions.


this entire post of yours is simply YOUR opinion. you reject others as "opinion" then willing to die on the hill of your own as "factual"

woman, you're a walking / talking / posting contradiction of double standards.

This has nothing to do with Trump dummy it’s about precedent. The idea that the HoR should be used by the opposition party to dig up political dirt on a former President or potential presidential candidate is just fucked. That’s what’s happening here. That’s all, nothing more nothing less.

I assume you will be on board if the HoR wants to go through the entire Biden family and their associate‘s financials next year when the Republicans run the house.

Nobody is digging up anthing, you moron. Everything Trump has done is a matter of public record including his coup attempt & his theft of top secret docs.

They've got enough on Trump right now to put him away for the rest of his life. Why do you think he's panicking?

Do they think he is hiding his J6 plans or secret docs in the tax returns he filed prior to those events happening ?

Of course not.

One would have to have an absolutely dull and meaningless existence to get excited about tax returns prepared by expensive tax accountants. Signs and portents indicate that this is yet another pathetic Dem cosplay of Much Ado About Nothing.

Nope. Two differnt crimes entirely.

Clipper, President Trump was under investigation by the House for collusion with a foreign country, by the Senate, by Mueller's Special Counsel, Two Impeachments and January 6. He was absolved from wrongdoing on all counts, and he told the truth that he did not collude with the Russians which turned out to have complete veracity. A lot of wrongful claims were made, and not one single one of them was true, based on the evidence that showed he did no such thing. Furthermore, he is innocent of "tax fraud" which will likely be dragged out and rehashed just before E2024 if his political rivals can make him look guilty until the proof will show once again that he did not do anything against the law or the Constitution. He was hounded by false allegations thrown at him by Pelosi and the Deep State, the super-rich Silicon Valley kingpins, and George Soros bankrolling the leftist press to make Trump look bad around voting times, orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi, the stalker Maxine Waters, Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and of course, Chuckie Schumer. All of them badmouthed him to death for four solid years. Hillary's War Room invented a very salacious lie about jumping on a bed naked with sex workers, and peeing on the bed, and the Steele dossier also proposed the lie about him colluding with Russians to damage Hillary's Presidential Run, and that was a dirty trick created by Mrs. Clinton and her Motley War Room Shenanigans Group. It was a classic projectional maneuver, since Ms. Clinton tapped Mr. Steele, a spy for Great Britain, to bring forth the horror story that his documentation claimed, all of it lies. That puts Hillary Clinton as the person who colluded with a foreign spy to hurt her rival, President Trump, and interfere with his ability to handle his job as President. It just didn't work. Needless to mention, big tech, Mme. Clinton and Soros did all they could to damage a sitting President and that is against the Constitution which calls it treason. I have no idea if we can ever get our country back to being united, because between that and Biden leaving Americans behind after withdrawing troops from Afghanistan may have cut the wrists of the people who run the Pentagon. All these evils, and President Trump was innocent of the lies Hillary Clinton pushed other people into doing it for her. She is a very troubled human being.
