    Default GOP is TERRIFIED Trump's tax returns will go public, mounting full on war with Dems

    Treasury Department officials are planning ways to keep President Donald Trump’s personal tax returns away from Democratic lawmakers.

    A handful of top political appointees and lawyers are developing a strategy to counter Democratic subpoenas and prevent the IRS from turning over those documents, four sources told Politico.


    Officials will accuse Democrats of seeking the documents to then leak to the public, which would be a felony, and then argue that Trump’s opponents cannot be trusted enough to see the documents in the first place.

    “We are worried about leaks,” one source told the website. “Once we share it with any member of Congress, we assume it becomes a public document.”

    Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin will review any request for the returns, which administration officials have been expecting since Democrats took over the House last month, and could potentially reject them and plunge the executive and legislative branches into an extended and unprecedented legal fight.



    gee, what could this be all about?

    HAHAHAHA!!

    What can they possibly be worried about?

    Every president since Nixon has voluntarily released his tax returns.

    Donald Trump promised to release his.

    The GOP should at least allow him to keep that promise.

    They don't know any better than anybody else what is in them. They just want to thwart the democrats from manufacturing another scandal of the day to create the illusion they are doing something instead of actually doing what they were hired to do--govern.

    If there isn't anything bad in there why all the worry and planning?

    The organic kind. Doesn't change that they cannot know what is in documents they have never seen.

    I was told that the democrats already had them. At least that is what the OP said.

    Are you saying they don't have them?

    Hey Frankie Fuckwad, unlike you I don't care about his taxes. This is where you stomp your feet like a five year old saying "but he promised"

    Oh and because you are so stupid that you need everything explained to you Frankie Fuckwad, the baby in the foreground crying is you. The dancing gorillas are us Trump supporters.

    The law seems pretty clear cut to me.
    4,487

    18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
    44 U.S.C. 2202 - The United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records; and such records shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.


    LOCK HIM UP!

    C'mon! Get real!

    The Democrats do not have to MANUFACTURE anything to have "a scandal of the day" with Trump in the Oval Office. Trump is easily able to give them enough dirt and idiocy to sustain them forever.

    The problem is not that the Democrats make Donald Trump look bad...because DONALD TRUMP makes Donald Trump look bad. In fact, Donald Trump makes Donald Trump look like a disgusting abomination.

    You were "told" to obey your Dear Leader...and I gotta acknowledge, you do a great job. Being a puppet must be difficult, but you handle it like a pro.

    Hey Frankie Fuckwad, unlike you I don't care about his taxes. This is where you stomp your feet like a five year old saying "but he promised"
    Who gives a shit what you care about.

    He did promise. But of course, you assholes don't care what he promises or promised. You are puppets...and will be satisfied with whatever he orders you to be satisfied.

    Oh and because you are so stupid that you need everything explained to you Frankie Fuckwad, the baby in the foreground crying is you. The dancing gorillas are us Trump supporters.
    Lame.

    And the "dancing gorillas" are you Trump supporters doing what you have been instructed to do.

    Doesn't change that none of them knows what is in the tax returns and therefore cannot be knowingly hiding some wrong doing. Likewise, the democrats cannot be honestly pursuing wrong doing when they don't know what is them either.

    What the fuck are you babbling about?

    Try putting that pap into a syllogistic form...so you can see what a bunch of shit it is.



    Likewise, the democrats cannot be honestly pursuing wrong doing when they don't know what is them either.
    Are you just kidding...or do you actually think you are making a sane point here?

    Logic obviously is not your strong suit.
