Trump's taxes to be released to the public just like every President since Nixon

[Nostra]

Duh, please cite the law that says they can't release them.

I already did, Simp.

If one wants to run for public office then we the people are entitled to see the tax returns.

Link?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Hell yes we want to find something!

Yeah, fortunately, that's not how the law works.

I don't believe that is a law, correct me if I am wrong.

It took 3 years for Chairman Neal of the House Ways and Means Committee to get Trump tax returns - even though it's a law and should have been done immediately.

You're right, it is the law, so if it took 3 years for ways and means to get them, then obviously they weren't going through proper channels to get them.

Rather than abide by the law, congress was trying to force the issue outside of the law, without the need for executive session, which is the law, and eventually, they got them to do it, likely so they could do what they are doing now, which is why it took 3 years.

Perhaps it's time for the law. Would deter alot of shysters from running. The average person would have no problems letting people see them. But when it comes to Uber wealthy then there's an issue. Why?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Aw, gee, how about SCOTUS.

All scotus did is remove the block Trump was trying to prevent access to his returns. Congress still has to operate inside the law in order to get them, and they still have to abide by the law once they have them.

Also, the Constitutions unreasonable search and seizure clause still protects the president, meaning, congress, no matter how much they think Trump is a bad guy, still needs to have a reason to access his returns. Simply "we need to see what's in them to see if he committed a crime" is not a legitimate reason, just like the police won't get a search warrant unless they have probable cause, and they know what they are looking for.

It's all legal, Homer...

House panel votes to release Trump tax information despite threats from Republicans​

It's not legal...just because the house panel said so doesn't make it so.

Please point to the law that Saya congress has the right to release this information to the public

 

[ThisIsMe]

Redacting the returns will block out any personal information.

Section 6103(f) of the Internal Revenue Code,

Redacting trumps returns doesn't do any good when you already know any information contained in the returns is about trump......

Also, there is a procedure for obtaining personally identifiable tax information...that congress didn't follow.

 

[there4eyeM]

Yeah, but who honestly expected Trump to keep his word on the matter?

I'm still waiting for what his 'investigators in Hawaii' found out on Obama's Birth Certificate.

I won't be holding my breath on either promise.

It was one of his earliest lies. He has taken prevarication to new extents.

 

[ThisIsMe]

QUICK, call Congress and tell them they're breaking the law! Tell them which law they're breaking!

..section 6103 clause f of the tax code...

If you can read the link tells yous the law that allows the IRS to release the tax forms to the committees when they request them and the committee can vote to release the documents to the public as long as the private information is blocked out. It is in the links I posted.

If have read through that to find the last relative to the law which allows them to release the information to the public, please point to the clause, because all you've done here is just post a 20+ page section of tax law that nobody is going to read through.

If you can't read it is not my fault

I'm ambivelent. The Ways and Means Committee has every authority to release the returns. But I don't know that there is much point to it.

They shouldn’t have to. The President should have released them as promised. It’s about transparency and a warning to the next president who doesn’t release them.

 

[SC Patriot]

Trump's taxes to be released to the public just like every President since Nixon.
If there is nothing big to expose, why did he not want them released.
We will see.

IRS failed to complete mandatory audit of Trump during his presidency, committee says

The Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday to make public some documents related to former President Trump's tax returns.

Wait...you asked why a president while in office did not want his tax returns released for the hostile media to scrutinize and bloviate about his discrepancies that know know nothing about? Really? You really asked why he did not want them released?

FYI, Einstein.......he was the most scrutinized president in history and if you think the IRS didn't look for issues in his returns then you are delusional.

 

[Clipper]

Ever heard of the IRS, Halfwit? They look at his taxes every year.

He lied when he said he was under audit. Sucker's like you believed him.

He had a loan for millions that he had gotten from a foreign govt. which he did not disclose in his financial disclosures to Congress when becoming president.

Turns out he was not being audited before being president.

 

[Lesh]

If the Democrats do release his returns then they own what comes next because they have no reason to do this except to play politics as usual…

What comes next? Biden releasing his taxes?

He already did that

The President is not required to....the majority of President haven't. I grant you, this is a big deal....this is a big warning from the Demafascsit, that if you cross the party, they will abuse their offices, and power to come after you and they don't care about the law, or your rights.

Thank you for reminding us, just how important it is, to make sure they are never in power again
