Pelosi says House Democrats will begin process to obtain Trump tax returns

[Frank Apisa]

Trump is not hiding anything. He just wants his tax returns to remain private like everyone else.

Then he should not have run for president...AND PROMISED TO RELEASE THEM...

...because "release them" is what presidential candidates do...

...if they have even an iota of ethics...

...which I am not accusing Donald Trump of having.

Hello anatta,

is this about more Emoluments clause stupidity?

Do you think the emoluments clause is stupid?

Hello hvilleherb,

Democrats are desperate to find any dirt they can on Trump. Voters will remember how Democrats changed their tune on privacy when grabbing Trump's private tax returns.

Democratic candidates release their returns for public scrutiny.

Hello hvilleherb,

Not true. If he wanted his returns to remain private, he would not have publicly announced that he was going to release them.

He is a public official. He is not like everyone else. He is our employee. We have a right to know more about him. His taxes are our business.

criminal matters would fall into that set of things which are not related to tax administration.....

very poor legal analysis, you are making crap up.

[Gotcha68]

Why would she go after his taxes?

Because she can and by his every word and deed he proves why they need to be seen.

Look up the word transparency and see what it means

Yeah, that's the ticket......let's go back to 1995!

Let's pretend white collar crime doesn't exist. The IRS can go back as far as it wants for civil fraud. And if trump committed criminal fraud it can go back six years. Boom!

[christiefan915]

Do you think that the IRS just sit on their arse and do nothing, Trump has been audited from here to eternity already. I am not American but I know that, why don't you?

He's has been audited a lot. That's how an investigation found the outright fraud dating back decades, by looking at his confidential tax records.

I didn't even know they did? Or didn't? Don't care. Doesn't affect my life.
Whenever it gets reported on the news, it's usually just to spark self righteous fights over how much these people did or didn't give to charity.

We already know trump himself is his #1 charity.

Man, isn’t that the truth, his family is suppose to be ridiculously wealthy, yet they steal from their charitable organizations .

I would hope not. They mean nothing to me, but that's me. Big deal.
