Attorneys for former president Donald Trump on Wednesday blasted a Justice Department ruling that directed the Treasury Department to turn over his tax returns to Congress, formally asking a court to block their release and arguing that records of former presidents as well as presidents should be similarly protected from subpoenas by lawmakers.
Trump’s lawyers called last week’s decision by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel the latest effort at partisan retaliation against him by Democrats, and denied that the House Ways and Means Committee sought six years of his tax returns out of a legitimate interest in closing tax loopholes exploited by wealthy Americans.

The President is not a king. No one is above the law.

that IS a comment on the topic, you mindless cunt.......you were the one who brought up "no one is above the law"........did you know that only people who violate the law are UNDER it?......Trump violated no laws, so why should you get to look at his tax returns?.......they are none of your business......

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Of course he's trying to keep his returns from the public. Why do you think he's still trying to be installed in the White House?
He NEEDS the protections that being POTUS offered.

Pretty sure we know. He doesn't want us knowing who his creditors are. He doesn't want us seeing the double dipping with respect to property valuations depending upon who was getting the paperwork.
And he definitely doesn't want anyone knowing that any wealth he has is due to the fact that he's a trust fund baby.

The man is a criminal.
Sending him to prison would be a death sentence, and not a particularly humane one.
The inmates would "go medieval on his ass" to quote the Ving Rhames line from Pulp Fiction.
Put him in house arrest at tacky Mar-A-Lago for the rest of his worthless life, and then let's do our best to forget about him.

Nope. Not that that would matter to the inner circle of the Cult, of course. They'll just dismiss the fact that their #MaliciousMessiah is a deadbeat tool of Russia, all his so-called "wealth" is in hock to his fake-colored eyebrows, and most of all -- that his ostensibly lavish lifestyle is being paid for by them.
