Is It Worth It For Congress To Obtain Trump’s Tax Returns By Force?

"A person’s tax return is confidential.

"The Internal Revenue Service takes this very seriously as no one has leaked President Trump’s tax return to this day.

"However, Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code specifies certain instances where someone’s tax return must be disclosed.

"The section states that the IRS must provide anyone’s tax return to the chairman (and only to the chairman) of the House Ways And Means Committee upon request.

"The entire committee can review the tax return in a closed executive session away from the public.

"Section 6103 does not state that a House Ways And Means Committee member is authorized to release a tax return to the public.

" But it allows the committee to forward the returns to the full House or the Senate.

"Professor Andy Grewal stated that by voting to release the returns to the full House, the committee can effectively release the tax return to the public."

"Congressional oversight is oversight by the United States Congress over the Executive Branch, including the numerous U.S. federal agencies.

"Congressional oversight includes the review, monitoring, and supervision of federal agencies, programs, activities, and policy implementation.[1]

"Congress exercises this power largely through its congressional committee system.

"Oversight also occurs in a wide variety of congressional activities and contexts.

"These include authorization, appropriations, investigative, and legislative hearings by standing committees; specialized investigations by select committees; and reviews and studies by congressional support agencies and staff."

Doesn't seem a clear mandate for Congress to demand this specific information. To what end? I come back to "Who gives a shit", other than political hacks who cannot stand the fact that their cankled c**t failed to win. I'd like to see Congress get on with more important business, it's not like there isn't a lack of things that need their attention. But they continue to insist on conducting their stupid witch hunt.

Everybody hides their taxes, nobody runs around waving them, if you libbies worked or were out of moms basement you would know this and not be the emotionally fragile demanders that you are.

 

[mikegriffith1]

Trump has gone through several IRS audits. So I doubt he's "hiding" his tax returns for fear of seeing criminal activity exposed. If there were such evidence in his tax returns, I'm pretty sure the IRS would have found it in one of their audits.

It's an IRS policy to do such for every President for every year they are in office, but it is NOT a law.... the head of IRS could tell his people NOT to follow the policy.

This is also why Chairman Neal is requesting the tax returns, if the IRS is not following their policy, then the congress may choose to codify it under a LAW instead of a policy that the president could order his IRS director, not to do....

So....it's not Trump they are after, it's the IRS?
That is going to be a tough sell when it ends up in the courts. just sayin'

the law is clear, I doubt it will make it to court, without being thrown out....

the law is the law, follow it or change it, through legislative means.... the courts are not for anything else, but determining if a law is broken, or a law or action, is unconstitutional.

I do not believe Trump's stacking of the courts, will be able to help him on this....

Why are you supporting him hiding them from Congress or anyone? What do you think he is hiding?

The court has been clear in similar cases, congress can not request things just for the sake of exposure. When congress is abusing the law, the courts are the proper venue.

.

excuse me, but this law has never been challenged by anyone, in a Court.... the IRS has always complied when requested by the designated committee chairs.

what was the purpose for Nixon, or Ford's, etc which were gotten thru 6103f ?

...tax information of presidents and vice presidents enhances the ability of Congress to oversee the executive branch, which is critical to our checks and balances. Congress may, for example, use tax information to evaluate the fairness of IRS audits, investigate potential financial conflicts, or develop new legislation.
