I listened to her whole spiel today (you can hear it on C-Span). She was incoherent, mostly babbling. Someone else is going to make the call and that’s probably going to be ways and means: Richard Neal. Neal (semi-loony dem from Mass) says he is going to ask for the returns and hopes Trump will give them up voluntarily. My early guess (just a guess) is that Neal won’t subpoena the returns or anything like that.
Shouldn't he and the Dems at least come up with some important reason, like it's a threat to the Union, or the world will come to an end if they don't get to see his tax returns? I mean, just wanting to see them isn't going to hold water in a court of law.
“...and hopes Trump will give them up voluntarily”
Or what? If a president does not feel compelled to reveal tax information the nosey are SOL.
With the amount of leakage in government I certainly would not feel compelled to share information that is protected by law.
Legally speaking, presidents are not legally bound to present their taxes. Financial activity is submitted for security clearances, but only to check if the individual is hiding any financial income.
I think tax info should remain protected by law and not be generally obtainable by whim.
