What will be the legal purpose of requesting a Presidents personal tax records in CLOSED SESSION?
Where does the law say he needs a reason? By the way he stated a reason... even though he did not need one.
Don't ya know? Its springtime......time for phishing for a crime to prosecute. Their asshole is still burning from the Mueller......PROBE.
This is the crux of the whole argument; the precedent it sets is that a political party in control of the House can engage in gathering personal information for partisan political purposes with no legal basis.
Only willful idiots and morons on steroids can think this would be a great idea.
I truly think that TDS infected brains believe that everyone agrees with their hatred of Trump and the rule of law.
Nixon tax returns were handed over to the House? When did that happen? Nixon also was under criminal investigation snowflake. Is Trump under any criminal investigation? What crimes?
Ford's returns???? When did Congress demand Ford's tax returns.

So you never posted things like "This looks like collusion to me"? Nothing to that effect?
The Chairman said that oversight is his mandate, (it is) and because of Trumps extensive business dealings with foreign adversaries (I would have added because of the fact he lied to the American people about those relationships) he must see the tax returns to evaluate the conflict of interest.
No; I am pointing out how terribly wrong you are believing that a House committee can conduct unprecedented which hunts against their political opposition without naming any criminal actions. I am also trying to point out that we are not a Fascistic third world shit hole lacking the rule of law.
So what LEGAL basis will Cummings use to obtain these records in CLOSED session and to what LEGAL purpose?
I might have, but I did not say what you claim about Mueller taking Trump down due to Collusion.
So your LEGAL argument is that a partisan House committee does not need any reason at all to look into the personal business of the President?
What was that and why doesn't he need one? You mean that in the future, whoever controls the House, or the Senate, can conduct investigations against the opposition without cause? Seriously???
Don't ya know? Its springtime......time for phishing for a crime to prosecute. Their asshole is still burning from the Mueller......PROBE.
I am trying to lead a jackass to water......hang on.
That is a very weak and pathetic argument. So if a US citizen has dealings with foreign entities, their personal tax returns and business dealings are somehow connected with criminality and can be demanded to be reviewed in CLOSED session? Why? Trump has been President for slightly more than two years and during most of that time investigated by a SP. That SP found nothing criminal. How is it the Houses responsibility to continue an investigation where no crimes have been committed?
Tell me something; is it the Congress's purview to conduct criminal investigations? Yes or no?

It was implied Brad. You know it and I know it. You can try to crawfish now if you like, but we all know
Liar
So far, you are batting ZERO on this topic snowflake. I see you are trying to keep your record of ZERO perfect. Yay you!
QUOTE=Jarod; Don Jr. is going to be indicted, I cant wait to see how that plays out. I expect it in December or January.
QUOTE=Jarod; Meeting with Russians to get them to give something of value to your campaign is a crime.
How can they deny that?
Junior will be indicted and if they can prove Rump himself knew about it he will go down.
Funny to watch Rump throw his son under the bus this morning.

Doesn't matter 'whose it is'. OLD law. He should have changed it or 'executive ordered' it away. Whooops.
The democrats? Who filed in court the first request? A Democrat or Republican?

We have even LESS idea what Mueller found or didn't than we did a week ago. Talk about the law of unintended consequences. Keep screaming, raging and tweeting DONNIE!
The President isn't just a "US citizen who has dealings with foreign entities," he is the head of the Executive Branch, and one of the roles of the Congressional Oversight Committee is to oversee the Executive Branch as part of Constitutional checks and balances
This doesn't mean they are "phishing" nor looking for a crime, but reviewing questionable activity. Trump's refusal to step back from his businesses while questions exist that he is using his position for his own personal gain merits review, the function of the Committee. Income Tax returns would be an obvious location to examine connections
Just because Trump's lackeys in the House employed these powers to defend and spread Trump's interests for the last two years doesn't mean that now that thier purpose is solely political
