The secret of why Donald Trump won't release his taxes

[signalmankenneth]

I hope the dems take this to court, I want to see those tax returns before the elections!

(CNN)On Monday night, as expected, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin informed House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, that he would not be handing over President Donald Trump's tax returns.

That move will occasion a response from Neal -- in the form of a subpoena, a contempt vote or a lawsuit. No matter what Neal chooses, this fight is headed into the legal arena sooner rather than later.

And it's likely that it winds up, at some point, in front of the Supreme Court.

Which is, if you stop and think about it, remarkable. We are now using the Supreme Court to litigate something that, prior to Trump, was seen as de rigeur for people running for president. Sure, some candidates released more years of their tax returns.

And some released less. Some did so with little prompting while others -- Bernie Sanders in 2016 -- had to be dragged kicking and screaming to transparency.

You think you're entitled to someone's private documents, but you're not. Good luck.

Kenny, you have a short memory!!

On June 20, 2012, the Oversight Committee voted 23–17 along party lines to hold Holder in contempt of Congress for not releasing documents the committee had requested. ... On June 28, 2012, Holder became the first U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in both criminal and civil contempt.

The fact that so many Republicans who were once very suspicious of government officials are now clamoring to protect this one is totally hypocritical.

It's like they KNOW the President is dirty, and they just want to get away with as much baloney as they can while they can keep him in office.

They only care about an elected official adhering to rules and the law if it is a Democrat.

Republicans? Eh! Look the other WAY....

In September 2012, after a nineteen-month review, the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General cleared the Attorney General of any wrongdoing with regard to Fast and Furious, stating that there was "no evidence" that Holder knew about the operation before early 2011. The report did cite fourteen lower ranking officials for possible disciplinary action.[139] Holder responded to the internal investigation, saying "It is unfortunate that some were so quick to make baseless accusations before they possessed the facts about these operations – accusations that turned out to be without foundation and that have caused a great deal of unnecessary harm and confusion."[140]
In retrospective, David Weigel of Bloomberg Businessweek called the contempt of Congress vote "both popular and stunningly ineffective, enraging Holder and turning him into a more outspoken and implacable foe of Republican policies on voting rights and policing."[141] In August 2014, federal judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the Justice Department to provide Congress with some of the previously withheld documents that had led Congress to hold Holder in contempt.[142]

Hello evince,

never never never forget they are Russian bot holes

It would be more accurate to say there ARE Russian bots.

I think you may be a bit overly suspicious.

I certainly feel that your approach is not likely to win over any votes against Trump.

You don't get people on your side by insulting them.
