New York passes bill allowing Congress access to Trump’s tax returns

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.

Hey now, MANY freepers are STILL quite satisfied with the “document” the Fraud’s handlers provided, and admonish us for even discussing it, because it makes him more powerful, or some such horseclinton.

(In my fairly recent posting history)

I truly believe Trump and his lawyers need to be 10 steps ahead of these goons and do whatever is legally necessary to halt this kind of crap.

What have they done to stop this or have they?

The State Department of Taxation and Finance would have “trouble” locating the records of any Democrats. It could take them years to respond to any such requests.

:: upon an official request by Congress. ::

Note the word “Congress” and capitalized.
This means that both the House AND the Senate must rule (vote) in favor of making the request.
Would that request subject them to a violation of their rules regarding taxes?

It’s a bill of attainder that only a completely oblivious court would not acknowledge.

Clearly un-Constitutional as proposed and passed.

But hey, if the Rats wanna go there, it opens up a giant playing field for the Republican Senate to have a field day with their tax returns.

A two-edged sword that will hurt them far more than it will hurt Trump. Trump has always hired buildings full of lawyers and accounts to ensure all the I’s are dotted and the T’s crossed. DemonRATs not so much.

If Cocaine Mitch and the Senate GOP had a pulse, they would use this to demand the tax returns of NY’s entire demoncrap delegation.
But they don’t — so they won’t.

Wouldn’t it be fun if Trump offered to pay out of his own picket a very large reward for Obama’s school records?

I suspect New York State has audited Trump’s tax returns - to no avail.

The irrational hatred of Trump merely demonstrates the irrationality of leading Democrats.
