...... Trump is trying to throw more fuel on the Impeachment fire to foment the insane and unstable Democrat Base to encourage them to rebel against Pelosi’s no Impeachment wishes and sabotage their attempt to create an appearance of civility and propriety.

The Rats know they’ve got nothing. But with a willing Press they just want to keep muddying the waters.

The very same statute that the democrats are using also provides:

"Upon written request by the President, signed by him personally, the Secretary shall furnish to the President, or to such employee or employees of the White House Office as the President may designate by name in such request, a return or return information with respect to any taxpayer named in such request."

26 U.S.C. § 6103(g)

Do the democrats really want to go there?

I demand to see the pre-drafted speeches of Democrat politicians and Deep State Media personnel concerning the supposedly criminal behavior they have identified in the president’s tax returns.

I also demand to see the specific hush money payouts for the various respective legislators who have benefitted from such payouts.

I also demand that every senator and congressperson demanding to see the president’s tax returns immediately release their own.

Of course. He failed to be exonerated. Therefore, he’s a suspect, only nobody knows yet of what.

“””If there was a problem with his tax returns you can count on it that the IRS would have leaked it by now.

The scumbags that they are.””

I was just going to say something like that

“He has transgressed the Unwritten Law”

I wish Trump would nail their heads to the floor.

GLAD Mnuchin, said no to release Pres Trumps returns...we all know that the left would “leak” details of it and any and all people Trump does business with could possible be in jeopardy of left wing HARASSMENT or WORSE....That is my opinion anyway...and Mnuchin needs to protect those people as well

“A number of legal experts have said it would be unprecedented for Mnuchin to refuse to turn over the tax returns, as the power for lawmakers to seek the returns is written explicitly in a 1924 law. “

More BS from the WaPos

About time to call up the militia and issue orders to arrest the seditious commies and Nazis in the rat party and the Goebbels’ media.

We need American-style Nuremberg trials to punish the traitors.

the D-commies cannot force their way into any American citizens’ tax returns. It is the law and they know it.

If there was a problem with his tax returns ….

Right. When was the last time the hordes of IRS investigators carefully audited someone, found secret major problems, and then shrugged and said “So, nobody’s perfect. Let’s forget about it. It’s in the past now anyway”

So how could all that be kept secret——in DC——for years?

That’s interesting. So if all those congress critters that used the sex abuse slush fund didn’t subsequently claim that as income, they are guilty of tax evasion and falsification of their returns. And all the Prez has to do is ask for them.
