    Yes members of Congress may obtain President Trump's tax returns. But that does not mean that they will automatically, or ever, become public. Under the tax code, the congressional committee which requests the tax returns can only review them in a “closed executive session.”

    They don't even have a reason to want the returns -it's just more fishing like Mueller
    There is no "oversight role" -they can't even say why they want the returns
    Another one that cracks anyone up, a Trumpkin complaining about investigations. We just lived thru a full decade of often redundant GOP investigations into anything and everything Obama/Clinton and now that the Democrats have been at it three months they are bitching about investigations?

    Fortunately, the speech and debate clause allows members of Congress to read whatever they like into the Congressional record without legal repercussions. It's unconstitutional for members of Congress to be questioned in any other forum for any speech or debate in the House. They have total immunity from prosecution for whatever they say from the floor of the House. Even Top Secret material can be made public that way. So, regardless of whether mere statutes try to limit review only to "closed executive session," there's nothing that can legally prevent a member of Congress from spilling the president's dirty secrets as part of speech and debate.

    And now we see the REAL purpose and reason dishonest Democrat hacks demand Trumps returns. Any questions?

    WRONG; there is no requirement that a candidate be required to release his personal tax information. It is a violation of the law to even compel someone to do that. If you had a brain larger than an ant eater, you would know this.



    The only one's attempting to change the rules and move goal posts are you morons on the left. If you had a brain, you could comprehend the OBVIOUS.



    There is no burden on Trump to do anything you retarded partisan hack; he WON. He is the president and all your moronic whining and lying isn't going to change that FACT.
    Cypress thinks stalking women is ok, because 'they like it'. So his opinions on other topics have to be weighed knowing how much of an unethical misogynistic piece of shit he is.

    I would like to amend that to say he is a lying, dishonest, unethical misogynistic piece of shit.

    The house has the power to see Trump's tax returns. Every patriotic American would agree that Trump should be transparent and open. Since he wants to fight to keep his hidden, he has to be forced to do the right thing, and do what he promised to do.
    Rightys who insist that Trump should be allowed a special dispensation from what all other candidates and presidents did, have to admit they believe Trump is a crook and guilty. They want him to be able to cover it up.
    Obama broke a promise to televise meetings about health care on C-SPAN, he failed to keep his "sunlight before signing" pledge to wait five days before signing legislation and he did not create a "contracts and influence" database to disclose how much federal contractors spend on lobbying.

    Abundant evidence exists that Trump has engaged in serious criminal activity--campaign finance violations, money laundering, fraud..the list goes on.
    Trump is even dirtier than most of the 63,000,000 turds who voted for him.
    There is plenty of probable cause to demand all of his financial records, tax returns included.

    The white trash that supports Trump will happily start stupid threads like this one, but anybody with any intelligence at all knows that they're just stupid crackers whose opinions are of no value whatsoever.

    Paying serious attention to you Trumpanzee clowns is as futile as paying serious attention to the orangutan himself.
    He's going down, and then you sycophants can all crawl back under your rocks.

    Let me make this crystalline clear to you:

    You are too uneducated, immature, mentally unstable, and just way too boring for me to waste valuable time reading and responding.

    The bottom line is this:

    Presidential contenders have been expected for decades to release their tax returns, as a show of transparency and good faith. The office of the presidency wields enormous and unprecedented power and influence, and the opportunities for potential abuse are vast, in a way that the office of a congressional representative is not.

    Democratic presidential hopefuls have released, or pledged to release their taxes for public scrutiny.
    The question now is why Trump - alone among presidential contenders - will not take this simple step of transparency and good faith. What is he trying to hide??

    This is how this unethical piece of shit is. Pretending he doesn't read anything of yours (or mine), but still feels the need to respond?

    He knows he was exposed for being a stalker. He knows his meltdown was epic. He knows that he is a piece of shit, which is why he puts forth the holier than thou bullshit non stop.
