Reality Sets In

[Deno]

lawlessness and obfuscation by the president and his crew is not something to be proud of....

All the lawlessness and obfuscation is on your side Tard...

 

[Deno]

A week ago amid a lot of arrogant huffing and puffing congressional Dems demanded the full, unredacted Mueller Report by April 2, a deadline that passed quietly and without USAG Barr's compliance. Next came congressional demands for Trump's tax returns and the response came today … acting WH chief of staff said Democrats will never get Trump's returns.

The most opaque administration in history

You are so Full of Shit....

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Have anyone seen the reason why Committee is asking for his tax returns?

"... committee responsibility to ensure that IRS is enforcing laws in fair and impartial manner".

Can anyone believe this crap?

I can't! What exactly is the stated reason for wanting to violate Trump's privacy and dig into his tax returns?
It all goes back to having a legitimate reason for violating his rights. There is none.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The democrats hate Trump so much that they cannot fulfill the roles of the offices they hold. Everything is Trump hate and how to get Trump. How can they hurt Trump or at least someone that knows him. If they can't hurt Trump or someone that knows him they can find someone wearing a MAGA hat and hurt them.

'...The House effectively delegates its oversight responsibilities to its committees which can issue subpoenas for documents or testimony from the executive branch. In the matter of tax returns, the law could not be more clear (see Code sec. 6103(f)): Upon written request by either the Chairman of either the House Ways and Means Committee or the Senate Finance Committee, the Treasury Secretary “shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request.” The Ways and Means Committee may share these tax returns and related information with the full House, assuming there is a legitimate purpose for doing so.

Congress gave itself the right to review any return or return information in 1924, in the aftermath of two controversies. One was the Teapot Dome scandal, where senior officials in the Harding Administration granted public oil field leases in exchange for bribes. The other involved allegations that Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon continued to own many business interests while serving in government. Some believed the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the precursor to the IRS, showed favoritism to the secretary and his businesses.

Congress Can And Should Demand President Trump's Tax Returns

"assuming there is a legitimate purpose for doing so"

What would be legitimate purpose of requesting his tax returns?

perhaps in part due to cohen's testimony regarding trump's his income manipulation & the docs & paper work he has already submitted...

 

[miketx]

lawlessness and obfuscation by the president and his crew is not something to be proud of....

Compared to Obama, Trump is a boy scout.

it is Trump who believes he is above the Law, and who has changed every ethical standard, every ethical rule, every ethical protocol on the books.....

from interviewuing personally the AG's for the States he operates businesses in, to desiring and putting in his own Roy Cohn as attorney general to be his personal mob lawyer, to pardoning people who have not served a day of time or admitted sorrow for their crimes, to spitting on nepotism rules by putting in Ivanka and Jarod, to inviting the Russians who interfered in our election in to his oval office, to giving them top secret information while in there without following the protocol on release.... to spitting on our top secret clearance standards and protocols put in place for our national security and safety with his hires... to making every single position in our govt, even for dedicated career employees... a political partisan position for only hires that grovel at his feet....

and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on of breaking one government rule and standard after another, which had been put in place to set the legal and ethical standards in our govt., being shattered and crushed by this lawless Teflon Don.....

he's very slimy.... a crooked, slithering snake....

And I do not see how anyone paying attention, can not recognize this....??? For those who have an ear that can hear, and eyes that can see, it is in plain sight.... imo.

Poor lying butthurt liberals. How do you keep up with all the bullcrap you spew?

how am i supposta know?

You obviously don't know and have made that clear.

the question was 'what law' i furnished the answer. you'll hafta ask the chairman of the house ways & means committee who is reciting it.

The questions was which law forces Donald Trump to reveal his private tax returns
and you've just cited a law which you plainly admit you know nothing about so that's really no answer at all.
Because you have no idea if it forces Trump to expose his tax returns or not.

Clearly democrat spear carrier Richard Neal is not claiming this law forces Trump to reveal his private information or this law would have been invoked the very second the shitbag democrats took control of the House.

Thanks for admitting you are parroting information without any knowledge of the information itself. That was a big help.

oh bullshit. the poster asked....now get this.... WHAT LAW? i answered.... are you listening..... WHAT LAW. that's it. that's all. i am not a lawyer.... are YOU? if you are gonna get on my case because you wanna play partisan politics, go ahead. but you are being silly for doing so.

Not really, he didn't ask for just any law, he was being specific, and the question was:

"Which law forces Donald Trump to reveal his private tax returns?"

The law you cited doesn't do that.

i cited it because that is the law they are going on.

Then they have failed as you have. No provision in that "law" requires public release of tax returns. Stop lying.

Right....
Democrats will get their hands on Trump tax returns (they wish) but the information will not somehow get leaked to all their waiting allies in the media. Just like the Steele dossier, I suppose.

You may be that clueless and naive, or deceitful, but no one else is buying what you are selling.

Cohen's testimony? LOL

Cohen that said "I have lied, but I am not a liar", and going to jail for lying to Congress?

You do realize we're talking about legitimate purpose for requesting his tax return? Cohen's testimony does not provide legitimate proof, and "documents & paperwork" you talking about are non existent, otherwise it would be all over Democrat Party media already.

You did not quoted the section of the actual law. You posted link to NYT interpretation of the law.

Given that I already provided a link to the law itself, I assume you can find the exact section, paragraph, that you quote it, or screenshot it, and post the actual words from the law here, not some bullshit opinion.

Unrelated, I noticed that you or someone else, highlighted word "shall" earlier. Lets not forget that word in the future when discussing the second amendment.
