Yes, The Democrats Can Legally Access The Pres's Tax Returns, & Yes, The Info Will Be Made Public

[RetiredGySgt]

...and YES, their doing so is completely politically motivated, no matter what they and their surrogate fake news media cohorts claim.


26 U.S. Code § 6103:
26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information
The Code / Law allows the chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, among other senior lawmakers, to seek returns by sending a written request to the Treasury Secretary.
-- It is officially the authority of the Treasury Secretary to decide if those tax returns are released or not. (The President will undoubtedly 'pressure' the Treasury Secretary NOT to release them, appropriately pointing out the request is politically motivated. If Mnuchin refuses, however, Congress can hold him in Contempt of Congress.
*** The Code has rarely been used, but there has been no reported refusal by a Treasury Secretary.

Once in the hands of the Democrats, either in the House Ways and Means Committee or in the hands of Democrats in general, it is almost guaranteed that personal /private data will not only be leaked to the public but it will also be used to fuel more unsubstantiated claims, accusations, and attacks against the President.
*** The historic evidence of Democrat / conspirator / liberal media's leaking information - from Comey's to his professor buddy (with the intent it be leaked to the liberal press) to McCabe's leaking (for which he was recommended for indictment by the US IG) to D-Schiff's admitted leaking to the Mueller 'Hit Squad's leaking of info in the last few days - proves this to be the case.

Despite Democrats' claim their request for 6 years of Trump's tax returns is not politically motivated, the direct evidence that it is will be the almost immediate release / leak of information from those returns after they are released to the Democrats. IT WILL HAPPEN! (I predicted it officially here 1st! )

Another more immediate bit of obvious evidence exposing this as being politically motivated is that despite the Mueller report (so far) exposing there was no crime of collusion established, no indictments made for 'illegal collusion', and no more indictments coming, the Democrats want to go on this new 'fishing expedition', displaying they think they can find something criminal in the President's tax returns despite the IRS, whose job it is to audit tax payers and determine this, having found no evidence to date of criminal activity by the President, either.


Can House Democrats release Donald Trump's tax returns?

The code also allows that Felony federal charges be accessed against anyone that leaks the info.

Can House Democrats release Donald Trump's tax returns?

Well, I guess if Politifraud says so...

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Dems probably already have all of Trump's tax returns.
Obammy's IRS probably gave it to them.

 

[hunarcy]

Yeah sure... like Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress and then turned over all the documents ... sure

Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress after historic vote

 

[Care4all]

I don't think it will be leaked to the Public only these committees can see them, you can't even get a Freedom of Information Act request on them, to force them to be released to the Public....

Here is the letter requesting them, and the 4 following pages, gives the specific reasons for the request.

FOAs don't cover private information, like tax forms of a private citizen. They cover government information, like the emails Hillary illegally kept on a private server that she could Bleach Bit.

Of course, Fascists will always go after private information for their political gain.

 

[BS Filter]

As pointed out in the OP this is legal and can not be blocked

Oh well. Can’t hide behind “they’re being audited” lies any more huh?

Good luck with the witch hunt, the pettiness of the partisans is just unreal.

I have a huge issue with the government not requiring a President to turn over his taxes and then when he refuses they go after them just because they can. It's petty politics and the Republicans and Democrats are going to continue to play sill games while the country and our problems will get back burned while they both cry. Party over politics is the new way.

Oh well. What do you suppose he's hiding?

Every President since Nixon has turned over his taxes.

Why not pass a law that every candidate for office has to turn over their tax receipts

Think Trump would sign it?
Not In a million years

Get the votes to override his veto. The fact is no politician wants anyone to see their tax receipts. You only want to see it to make political hay out of it. Lame.

She also doesn't understand that if she sees anything regarding Trumps tax returns ,its because someone broke the law.

Why not all Congressmen? Pelosi and Bernie have "Transparency-phobia".

How about anyone currently recievire Secret Service protection? The Clinton's, Bushs, and Obamas surely wouldn't object.

How about the MSM? What do they have to hide?

 

[The Irish Ram]

I guarantee you there is nothing in Trump's tax returns that would convince me to vote for a democrat. Ever.

They lying about them, like Harry Reid lying about Romney's tax returns?

I saw a thread here earlier today saying Trump has refused to release them. Was that wrong?

What can be gained for political purpose? Do you think President Trump has broken the law or something?

 

[Staidhup]

Pandoras Box will be opened. Maybe it’s time congress pass a law requiring all elected and government administrative staff personnel to submit the prior 4 years of their tax returns prior to elective or employment to administrative office and each year thereafter while holding office.
So who in their right mind would want to subject their life to this crap. We have a hard time as it is in attracting successful people to run for elective office.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

...and YES, their doing so is completely politically motivated, no matter what they and their surrogate fake news media cohorts claim.

It's the kind of nonsense that explains why Democrats lose sure wins 70% of the time. Democrats want these tax returns because they hope it will lend embarrassing information that Donald isn't anywhere near as rich as he claims. They are wrong, because tax returns only show income, not wealth.

They claim that their interest is information about whether the President has conflicts of interest over, or is otherwise compromised by, foreign (i.e. Russian) powers. This would be a valid concern. They hope the tax returns will show this information. But they are wrong because tax returns only show income, not trails of hidden, off-shore shell companies.

Democrats are going to shoot themselves in the foot if they ever get what they want. Tax returns are the wrong place to look for these things in the first place. But they are too stupid to understand that. After all, these are the same people who can't comprehend the difference between total tax liability and a tax refund.

Maybe he changes his mind.

Doesn't matter.

It's not your business.
