Trump Is Hiding His Taxes

[Flopper]

Congress is trying to get Trump's taxes. Every President since Nixon has released theirs and Trump "claims" he'd like to release them.

He is however fighting tooth and nail to keep them secret. His claim here is that he's under audit and for some reason that precludes him from releasing them. It doesn't.

The IRS does not lock them down for that reason, and it's CONGRESS requesting them in accordance with the law. In fact a refusal would put the the head of the IRS or Treasury Secretary in contempt of Congress.

And for what it's worth, Trump's former attorney Cohen testified under oath that Trump WASN'T under audit

What do you suppose he's hiding? Tax evasion? Money Laundering?

He's afraid of something obviously

What crime has he committed?

The multitude he is trying to hide??? Shedding LIGHT on it, is good. Hidden in the DARK is bad. Surely you know this....?

And there does not have to be a crime for the committee chair to request his tax returns from the IRS.

Would you honestly support an Obama doing this or a Hillary if she were president?

You guys have just lost your minds and any drop of moral standards you ever claimed to have.... it is mind blowing!

I truly do not understand it, at all....

No president or presidential candidate are constitutionally required to publish their personal taxes. The law requires financial disclosure forms from all elected officials, congress is free to review them.

.

The democrats are not asking Trump for his tax return but rather the IRS. They are citing a 1920s law that authorizes the Ways and Means Committee to get from the Treasury Department the tax return information of any taxpayer. According to law, congress has the right of oversight on the executive branch and specifically they can audit any part of the executive branch including the IRS.

I posted this in another thread and it seems to appropriate here:

It's really simple, the commies revealed their hand more than two years ago when they tried to get Kevin Brady, then Ways and Means chairman, to get Trumps taxes. Brady said at the time and is still saying there is no legitimate reason to make the request. He still sits on Ways and Means and would likely be the first witness in a court case.

The commies can't legally go on fishing expeditions, I doubt the courts will side with the sham purpose stated in the request letter. How can you examine how presidents returns are being handled if they only examine one presidents returns. They are also requesting years that don't fall within his presidency and fall outside the scope of their letter.
.

Since Trump claims his tax returns are still being audited after 3 years, then it certainly might be time for Congress to see what their doing.

Oversight is what the house does , it can request Trump taxes and even have the joint commission of taxation review it for correctness and if they do find errors they can have the IRS look at them again. The problem may be wheter they can release trump taxes publicly even with redaction .

Still a few years ago when everyone one was concerned with whether the IRS discriminated against conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. Republicans used the law to make public protected tax information about those organizations.

Wow got to love politics

26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information

"Disclosure to Committees of Congress
Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure."

Why are law and order conservatives afraid of what Trump's tax returns will reveal?

Fishing expeditions are NOT a legitimate legislative purpose, the courts will tell them to pound sand.

"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.

He brags about not paying federal income taxes.

He is currently subject to 17 different investigations.

Congress has every right to see his tax returns as part of their oversight obligations.

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father

"President Trump participated in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents, an investigation by The New York Times has found."

And if any honest, bipartisan investigation were actually pursued, how many would include the beast on the right? How many different charges could be brought against the Hildebeest?

Why Trump Wants the Mueller Report and His Taxes Kept Secret | DCReport.org

"Trump and Sater’s last project together was the largest: the 46-story Trump SoHo hotel and office tower in Manhattan.

Trump signed a letter authorizing a recapitalization of the troubled project in which bankers and buyers lost money.

"Millions of apparently untaxed dollars of profits for Trump, Sater and others vanished into an Icelandic bank under the thumb of a Russian oligarch—prompting extensive litigation, efforts by Trump and others to seal court files and eventually removal of the Trump named from the building."

I would suspect that someone with all of Trump's businesses and corporations, plus his individual taxes is always being audited someplace. Large corporations are under constant audit.

If Trump or any of his companies was cheating, the obama IRS would have been screaming it during the campaign.

these constant witch hunts are destroying the dem party and they are too stupid and hate filled to realize it.

not one of those claims has been proven. posting lying allegations from left wing sources only makes you look like a fool.

Trump has said several times that he wants the entire Mueller report made public. do you libs ever stop lying?

Red, all they have to do is invite mueller in for testimony and ask him directly, did you find evidence that russia colluded with anyone. It is quite simple. grandstanding like they are merely incites the minions. stupid.

 

[jc456]

Trump and his legal team aren't even looking at the report, which they are allowed to do. If that doesn't tell you he's not 'hiding something', then you should really seek help.

if that is suppose to tell us something, then there is nothing to hide, release it in full, outside of classified and classified methods... and yes, it is a simple court order that can release the grand jury testimony....otherwise, Trump talk, is cheap...

put your money where your mouth is, release the report, unredacted, outside of top secret/secret, classified stuff....
it's the only way both sides can be on the same page, and argue with each other with facts in hand and not arguing over a sea of blacked out darkness with only speculations....

Your a moron

fyi- you're, not your...
what are you afraid of? Trump was already exonerated according to him, on everything....? Why call people morons for wanting to see a report on the Russian interference in our 2016 election, that they paid for with their taxes and have been patiently waiting, for 2 years? Don't you want to know what all the different segments of the investigation found out? The facts?

The indictments are already public, there will be no more, what else do you want to know?

.

truth and facts on what happened in the Russian interference.... not necessarily crimes.

Why did Manafort give secret and confidential Trump polling data to Kilimnik? Did Kilimnik pass it on to the GRU so they could advertise and troll in the areas the polling data showed where the Trump campaign needed it most?

What actually occurred between Roger Stone and wikileaks, was he made aware of the stolen email dumps to come, did he direct them on a timely basis for the benefit of Trump? Did he communicate what was going to be in the stolen email dumps to the Trump campaign? Why did Trump mention wikileaks 160 times in his rallies, in the month of October alone, when he was briefed by our intelligence that Russia had stolen them and was trying to interfere with our election?

What did Cambridge Analytica actually do to help the Trump campaign, besides illegally obtaining Facebook confidential data on unsuspecting users? Why did they shut down? Who paid them?

Who were the Russians that illegally donated funds to the NRA for their advertising that supported the Trump campaign besides Alexander Torshin? Why did Don Junior meet with Torshin and have dinner with him at an NRA event? What was Maria Butina's roll and her boyfriend's in electing Trump, if any?

Who were the Russians who illegally donated to the Trump Inaugural fund? What did they get in return from the Trump campaign for doing such? Was there a pay for play situation set up with the Trump Inaugural Fund?

What exactly did trump Campaign Sam Clovis illegally do? Why and for what, is he still cooperating with the Special Counsel?

Why is the Special Counsel's Grand Jury still alive and well? What are they needed for if the Special Counsel investigation is over?

Why did Kushner want to set up a back channel of communications with the Russians? And why in the heck would he try to do such in the Russian embassy?

What really happened at the Trump tower Meeting with Kushner, Manafort, Junior and the 6 govt Russian operatives....

Why did Don Junior accept a meeting with these Russian operatives when they had already been briefed that Russia was trying to illegally interfere in our election?

Why did President Trump make up a LIE about the Trump tower meeting for Don Junior?

Why did no one from the Trump campaign notify the FBI when the Russians were going overboard in their contacts with them?

Why did everyone including Trump LIE about all of their Russian contacts during the campaign?

Why did candidate Trump LIE about his Trump tower Moscow deal he was working on until the day he got elected?

Why did President Trump send Erik Prince to meet with the Russian operative in the Seychelles?

What was the second Trump tower meeting about, that Erik Prince just slipped up and told us took place?




All of these questions are just a few of the questions I, and anyone following the investigation, want to know the answers to....

but you don't want to know how the dossier came to be. so you really aren't interested in the truth.

The investigative powers of Congress are very broad, but not limitless. Congress can only legitimately demand documents that are needed to carry out either its legislative function or oversight functions of government. The demand for the President's taxes falls under neither of these functions, so in this case, the Democrats have no right to see the President's taxes.

Some of the loop holes and probably questionable tactics that Trump is using to escape paying taxes could be pretty embarrassing for a candidate whose base is predominately blue collar working class white men who do pay taxes and lots of them.

Some of the loop holes and probably questionable tactics that Trump is using to escape paying taxes could be pretty embarrassing for a candidate whose base is predominately blue collar working class white men who do pay taxes and lots of them.

He paid taxes, Rachel showed us. Are you investing in more stupid

ONE FKING year are you that stupid to think that year was an average ??

did he pay his taxes or not? you all said, trump didn't pay them. well that one document showed he did. so friend, why do you need more? you got your answer. you get no more, BTW!!

Congress is trying to get Trump's taxes. Every President since Nixon has released theirs and Trump "claims" he'd like to release them.

He is however fighting tooth and nail to keep them secret. His claim here is that he's under audit and for some reason that precludes him from releasing them. It doesn't.

The IRS does not lock them down for that reason, and it's CONGRESS requesting them in accordance with the law. In fact a refusal would put the the head of the IRS or Treasury Secretary in contempt of Congress.

And for what it's worth, Trump's former attorney Cohen testified under oath that Trump WASN'T under audit
