The IRS ***denies*** The House Request For DJT's Tax Returns

[jc456]

You got a real problem. You care more about the republican party than you do about the United States of America.

Wait a minute. Why do Democrats want his tax returns if not for the Democrat party? They only want these returns so they can say something negative about Trump (whether true or not) just because they've seen them. They want to cast doubt on his reelection.

Piglosi nor others have any legitimate reason for wanting to see those returns outside of party politics. This is why the Democrat party needs to be destroyed. Because these commies are using our federal agencies as their own for political reasons. They are no better than the Nazi's.

In other words, party over country?

You have proven numerous times that you are more concerned about Trump than the country. You have no room to talk.

Oh contraire party boi

The court disagrees with that. Nowhere does it say that the Congress has the right to confiscate tax returns for political vendetta.

Now if the Congress has any questions for the IRS, by all means, let them do their oversight. But keep Trump's personal records out of it as the court ruled. They can ask the IRS what they did in Trump's past audits, what they are doing now, what protocols they are using. But they cannot ask for Trump's tax returns in order to conduct oversight of the IRS.

The Congress can request these records as a part of their oversight. Trump constantly says he cannot release his tax records because they are under audit. The Congress can investigate that and can get Trump's tax records.

As my link points out, yes, they can make such a request. But also as the court ruled, it does not come without limitations.

The court rulings do not apply.

"Trump’s lawyer, Jay Sekulow, appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” pointed out that the Supreme Court has held that congressional oversight cannot become law enforcement. He’s right — but he is advancing a red herring. The IRS alone enforces the tax law, assessing and collecting taxes due from any taxpayer. Neal’s possession of Trump’s tax returns would not change that."

The law is clear on disclosing Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee

Gee, what a surprise, the LA Times.

Well I say go ahead. I want to see Trump use this abuse of power for his campaign in 2020. It will assist in his reelection and perhaps turning the Congress back to the right people--the Republicans.

It isn't bad enough that this Democrat led Congress got absolutely nothing done since they took over, but their mad witch hunt that's been taking place since before Trump was elected. People are not only sick of it, they're angry about it. Why would you put a party in power who's only mission is to destroy the President of the opposite party?

Well good luck Democrats "trying" to get those returns without a years long fight. Because this so called law was already heard by the courts and ruled un-constitutional; it's just that it's never been challenged before. I also hope that Trump follows through with a lawsuit. Oh, and if Democrats actually do something besides harass this President, good luck getting him to sign any bill they put forward.

It has never been ruled unconstitutional. The fact is that specific ruling does not apply. Congress has the oversight authority to examine Trump's tax returns. Voters I suspect are far more worried about Trump's abuse of powers. Voters will never trust Republicans enough to give them complete control again.

The Congress does not have unrestricted access to those records according to past court rulings. The court ruled that Congress can only obtain those returns IF they can demonstrate how those records are needed for legislative purposes. They cannot confiscate those records because "Well.......the Muller thing didn't work out so well for us" which is all this is.

Furthermore it was ruled that the US Congress is a legislative body, not an investigative body. Therefore they cannot make the claim they are looking for illegal activity.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Trump was never tried for tax fraud. He was accused of it by the commie NYT.

Bankruptcy is perfectly legal and used every day. Trump never filed personal bankruptcy, and the four of his business bankruptcies were mostly filed during challenging economic times. Trump owned or operated over 500 businesses in his career, and doing the math, that's one bankruptcy for more than every hundred of businesses he ran. Nothing suspicious about that.

As for his sister, the case has been dropped. She's 82 years old for crying out loud. Who needs that kind of shit at that age?

If she didn't retire, she would be going to prison for tax fraud.

You don't know anything of the sort. When you get that age and very wealthy (which I'm sure she is) you don't need those problems. You can just sit back and enjoy the last few years of your life without fighting all the time. When you have money, work is just something you do to take up your time.

Neat! But she clearly retired in order to stop the investigation.

Nobody knows for sure. However maybe she just didn't want to fight with anybody about it. Doesn't mean she's guilty of anything. Who the hell wants a knock out--drag out fight at the age of 82? Furthermore the claim was that she did something or another to avoid inheritance taxes for herself and siblings including Donald. While they may have dropped the investigation on her, it doesn't mean they had to stop investigating what the other siblings had to do with the matter. That was never pursued.

Oh, stuff it Issa.

And the creepolas drumbums who pilloried him nonstop about things he did not say or do, calling him a spy, a traitor, a tweeter, and a liar for failure to dot an "I".

Be glad all you have is TDS. If it gets any worse, take two aspirins and call a doctor in the morning.

 

[Billo_Really]

read the whole law it clearly states anyone with access that releases the info is liable for federal offense.

Not to the House Ways and Means Committee. I already posted this exception, why don't YOU read that?

 

[Billo_Really]

Trump's disapproval rating has nothing to do with his tax returns. It has to do with the over 90% negative coverage by the MSM. Had Hillary been President with these record unemployment numbers, median income at new highs, corporate and consumer confidence at record highs, and an all time high for small business (our largest employers) confidence, there would have been parades in the street every other month.

What we have here is a guy who's doing a fantastic job but is hated personally. He's the exact opposite of DumBama who was loved personally but hated in policy.

Professional politicians makeup their tax returns for the expectation of running for the office of President. They make sure that there is enough taxes paid, enough donated to charities, and not take all of their deductions. Trump didn't live his life that way. He didn't create tax returns for public viewing, he filed his taxes to keep as much money as legally possible.

So what does Trump's returns have to do with him running this country? Absolutely nothing. The only reason the Democrats want it is to continue the negative rants on him because they have nothing positive to offer the voters of this country.

Just like a typical righty who won't be responsible for the things he does. Trump's low approval rating have everything to do with Trump's actions in office. You think Trump's tweet of Rep. Omar is an MSM hoax?

 

[Billo_Really]

You don't know anything of the sort. When you get that age and very wealthy (which I'm sure she is) you don't need those problems. You can just sit back and enjoy the last few years of your life without fighting all the time. When you have money, work is just something you do to take up your time.

Wrong. Do your fucking homework on this story before deciding to shoot your fucking mouth off!
