Counting their chickens before they're hatched? Our friends at 4chan, Reddit, 8chan and Anonymous can surely find out all about those congresspeople.

OK fine. President Trump should then unseal Obola’s college transcripts.

They’ve certainly got their priorities straight.

Any plans to help the country, Democrats? Or just more of this pathological nonsense?

I want to see all of THEIR tax returns....so we can find out how these folks arrive in DC as (most of them) middle class citizens, then...within a few years in DC....are magically worth MILLIONS!!

I also want to see exactly which Congresspersons used the Discretionary Slush Fund, to pay off their indiscretions...and, who received said payments.

Let’s see all of ^^that^^, first.

No platform or solutions that actually help American workers....just the same old, resist and fight nonsense, from the Dims.

-—Trump gets audited every year so what’s the point——

Of course. The whole thing is stupid.

They act like his returns are in an Oval Office vault. The IRS has combed over his returns every year.

What do these gigantic weirdos think is in them? Payments for human sacrifices to Vladimir Putin? Just stahp.

If there were anything interesting in his returns, Lois Lerner would have leaked the info to the NY Slimes and the Bezos Post.

Well if we must have FBI investigations so deep they involve even teenage yearbook information, how about FBI investigations into every use of taxpayer funds in the Bimbo payoff slush fund in Congress.

I for one would love to see a list of names of those who used such services, and their pay back schedule.

Have noticed that most high rollers in business circles and Congress critters, also, put their homes and real estate in their spouse’s name. In case there’s any claw backs. So there would also be a need to check family members and let them open their financial records.

to review privately

So how do they bring in accountants? Of course the Chairperson would also release the return, which would be legal how?

If the law allows “chairmen” of the tax committees to look at the returns, why would they need to bring in experts, unless they are going to name them as committee chairmen?

I haven’t looked at this law, but suspect that especially since it was enacted 100 years ago, it only allows the chairman to review the return, not receive a copy.

Information on copy machines: Oct 23, 2013 - Inventor Chester Carlson used static electricity created with a handkerchief, light and dry powder to make the first copy on Oct. 22, 1938. The copier didn’t get on to the market until 1959, more than 20 years later. When it did, the Xerox machine prompted a dramatic change in the workplace.
