“House Ways and Means Committee Intends To Request Trump’s Tax Returns”

Won’t bother Trump, you can bet the IRS has gone over his taxes with a fine tooth comb.

It will just be one of a continuous stream of attempts to smear and tarnish Trump with the MSM joining in and magnifying it all 24/7.

The democRATs will spend the next two years with endless investigations and hearings into every aspect of the President's life, both personal and professional. The purpose of these investigations and hearings will not be to find anything in particular, but merely to exist. To be talked about. To be the fodder for endless stories in Big Media about the "scandal-plagued Trump administration and its culture of corruption". The Mueller "investigation" is but a preview.

I predicted this yesterday in the What are the consequences if the Democrats win the House? thread:


1. No more tax reform.
2. Democrats will finally get access to Trump's tax returns. Expect them to be accessed via chairman privileges. Expect them to be leaked.

Now would be a perfect time to find out why Imran Awan was in charge of the Democrat House servers.

Then they will find errors & illegalities with his commas & periods! Also with his use of adjectives,, adverbs, verbs & nouns and God forbid if left his participles dangle!

Everyone is trying to put a huge happy face on yesterday! Its ridiculous to try, yesterday was a failure and a set back to putting this country on the right path. If the buffoons that replaced GOP’ers with Rats think they’re going to get any more then anti-Trumpian theater they are even bigger fools then the standard buffoon!

The best we can hope for over the next 2 years is a standoff.
Hopefully Trump won’t throw up his hands and say enough, jump on his jet and get the heck out of Dodge!

The Democrats can request all they want to, and apparently that is going to be a lot. Trump is under no compulsion to comply, so what are they going to do to him if he does not?

They are not requesting the tax returns from President Trump.

The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has the authority to request individual tax returns directly from the IRS. That's how they are finally going to get their hands on the detailed returns from Trump, his businesses, his childrens' returns, and on and on.

Expect them to be leaked, too. Expect them to become the basis for subpoenas against his businesses by the New York City prosecutors, too. Expect them to become weapons for Democrats to destroy Trump financially, destroy his brand, destroy his real estate empire, if they cannot destroy him politically.

You can’t just “request” someone’s tax returns.

There has to be some obvious evidence that a crime may have been committed that the tax returns would be connected to in some logical way.

You can’t just say: “Hey, let’s subpoena this guys tax returns and see if there’s anything bad in there.”

Not just Pelosi’s return. Request DiFi’s, Waters, Harry Reid’s. And just let that crap “leak” out. Fight fire with a bigger fire.

Democrats LIED ABOUT RAPE REPEATEDLY to try to stop Kavanaugh.

Democrats used intelligence agencies to spread FAKE information to stop Trump’s election.

Democrats have leaked sensitive information and lied about goings on in the Trump administration to undermine and “resist” him.

Given that they are proven to have lied at every turn AND used government channels to spread such lies, we cannot believe ANY allegations they make, ever.

I'd tell them to pound sand. Where in the Constitution was congress given authority to go on fishing expeditions?

I wonder if President Trump is using his tax returns strategically - refuse to release them until forced to do so and then bask in the glory of good news about his financial success and generosity. It would be beautiful to see him forced to show his returns and then we find out he's been giving more to charity that all leftist politicians in the country combined.

Yeah... They don’t think the IRS analyzed them enough during Obama’s reign?

Democrats try to sound important by pimping a non issue they like to talk just to hear their heads rattle.

I wonder how many of the new dem house were part sexual harassment coverup, FiSA abuses, leaks?. I’m guessing at least 30. I think it’s time to make all this public.
