ALBANY The tax filings of President Trump and all public elected officials in New York will be fair game for congressional Democrats under a new law.
The state Legislature on Wednesday approved a bill that allows the state Department of Taxation and Finance to release tax returns of thousands of New Yorkers upon an official request by Congress.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo previously said he would support the idea.
This bill stands for a principle of transparency in regards to top officials tax returns and recognizing that shedding light on conflicts, potential conflicts of interest is for a public purpose and also stands for working collegially with our colleagues in the federal legislature so they are able to effectuate their power, Assembly sponsor David Buchwald (D-Westchester) told reporters after the vote.

Oh Good! A Bill of Attainder passed by the Orks of the Noo Yawk “legislature”
Sounds like a Bill of Attainder to me..................
Audited by the IRS every year = nothing anyway ,but the Dem’s taxes should be real good
ALL Democrats are EVIL, Vile, VICIOUS, LYING, DESTROYERS of Good People.
I wish the state legislature would lower taxes in New York rather than get involved in partisan national politics.
Awfully close to a prohibited Bill of Attainder.
They can have permission to ASK. Also, this can’t apply to previous tax returns. Only going forward.
This is the tyranny our founders warned us about. They rebelled over this kind of crap.
Bill of Attainder...............
Bill of Attainder on all cough, public officials.

Good question.
Trumps records are sealed by Obama’s executive order

State only.
I wonder if the law applies retroactively. Can a law passed 2019 apply to returns filed from 2017, 2016, etc?
If the Left manages to overwhelm DJT I only hope a successful Caesar moment will result. The alternative is a Lenin moment. In any event if Trump fails the Republic is violently over. I would rather the first period of the ensuing regime be administered by one of our guys than one of theirs. We have come to this pass. In any event rule by a wise man is only temporary and must be followed by bad men. Augustus was followed by such as Nero and Caligula. But by then I will be dead either in the aftermath of a leftist takeover or a little later by the effects of age.
Let's make it open season and see how fast this is repealed.
I don’t think that applies to documents not in the possession of the Feds. These are state tax records, not Federal.
Pres. Trump to Congress..
“Let’s do ‘You show me yours, I’ll show you mine’”
I’m dying to see the Pelosi, Schumer, Booker, WATERS(yeah),Biden (including Hunter) et al returns. Don’t forget the immediate family also.
