IGNORE all of this!!!!!!!

“THE MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED. WHEN the investigation is complete we’ll comment then.”

THAT’S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is only a concern with MSNBC, CNN, NYTIMES, etc.

IGNORE IT!!!!!

Why stop with Trump, why not all the members of the Government?

[LaineyDee]

Much like Obamacare, Dems want us to open up Trump’s tax returns so we can see what’s in it.

They want to harrass anyone and any entity who is associated with Trump and his business dealings.

I think what's happened here is that the Democrat Party has been forced to turn increasingly to its most outlandish elected officials to lead the charge against Trump. I suspect more and more of them -- especially those in "red" states who are facing re-election in 2018 -- are getting extremely concerned about how idiotic the party is looking right now.

With Franken leading the charge, you can be sure they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Is there a requirement for them to be made public?

Good question.

See nothing in the Constitution about it.

There is an excellent clip of that interchange at the confirmation hearings. Franken definately set the context as meetings between “The Russian Government” and advisors or members of the election team.
This is the 1min 36 sec clip

Franken: The New McCarthy.

[Rummyfan]

If they’ve put the leader of the clown posse in charge of this it shows they are not serious about it.

[richardtavor]

I want see franken’s returns..

[Zarro]

Of course. It’s the old “open your mouth and remove all doubt” effect.

There is no requirement that a President publish his tax returns.

There is no requirement that a President divest of any investments

There is no requirement for a President to put his/her assets into a blind trust.

It is due to massive vote fraud in the Twin Cities metro area.

[manc]

We just keep going around and around with this crap. Why?

Do they feel they should keep asking and they will get the taxes, or is this to cover up their corruption, and hinder the freely , elected government of this country.

Some rumors about that say Franken may run for president. What a bad joke that would be.

I would like to know the specific question that Franken asked. A whole lot of innuendo with not much substance. We need context.

Franken: CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week, that included information that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so you know. But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?

Sessions: Franken: Very well.

[Boomer]

We always knew this POS franken would be bad news and now that knowledge is being born out.

I'd say he was a pig but don't want to insult pigs. Better to just let the picture do the talking.

[DPMD]

Sounds as though his mental diapers are also leaking.

[rktman]

I’m afraid to know what’s goin’ on with the stuffed bear.
