The Rats will fail on that ploy also. They’re losers.

We’ve all operated for some time now with the idea that candidates may, should they so choose but are not obligated to, release their tax returns. Now the Dims claim to have found some obscure law that requires same. It never stops!

Spygate will take the wind out of those sails. The hopes for a blue wave, too.

How does not love this woman?

She is intelligent and most importantly....uses clear, linear thinking. One of the few who actually takes a line of thinking to its logical conclusion and then asks questions based on that conclusion.

Her questions about the democRATS dumping the Russia Hoax is demonstrative of this linear process. She was not distracted by the next phase of the “narrative”, she remained on point and finished her train of thought

Sharyl Attkisson is a brilliant reporter. Dems have run out of gas on Russia after 2 years of throwing the kitchen sink at Trump. If not for dim bulb Jeff Sessions Russia would have stalled out last year.So now the NY Times is publishing articles on Trumps Fathers taxes, the new effort is because nothing sticks and vague taxes from decades ago are all they got. Trump always hits the ejector seat as the media attack crashes and burns. Just another pipe dream for Dems to weave into their talking points ..Trumps Taxes...Eyes are glazing over already...

“She is intelligent and most importantly....uses clear, linear thinking. One of the few who actually takes a line of thinking to its logical conclusion and then asks questions based on that conclusion.”

Excellent summary. If even 10% of reporters were like her, the world would be a better place.

Piffle. Ken Koffler and his crack investigatory team over at White House Dossier have put together a list of transgressions by President Trump that make queries about his taxes look like marshmallows.

White House Dossier’s team of investigative reporters has uncovered ten other things nobody knew Trump had caused, until now:

1. Hurricane Michael. I mean, obviously.

2. The breakup of the Beatles (in cooperation with Yoko Ono).

3. The final episode of The Sopranos everyone hated.

4. The low quality of Chinese food in Los Angeles compared to New York.

5. The sudden increase in the number of white sharks off of Cape Cod.

6. The Spanish-American War.

7. The Zodiac murders.

8. The final episode of Seinfeld everyone hated.

9. The Dred Scott decision.

10. It’s not well known, but Trump wrote, produced and actually sang “I Write the Songs,” which is usually attributed to Barry Manilow and is widely regarded as the worst song of the 1970s. In doing this, he inflicted countless hours of pain on the ears of AM radio listeners from that era.

That, by golly, is what needs investigating.

the New York Times: “Donald Trump tax records show he could have avoided taxes for nearly two decades,”

Hmmm. Doesn't this imply that someone at the IRS has been looking at and illegally leaking this information?

Doesn't that mean this information is necessarily fruit of a poisoned tree, just like the fraudulently generated and obtained Steele dossier and FISA warrants?

Manafort and anyone else convicted on the basis of fraudulently-obtained evidence should simply go free and be completely exonerated.

We certainly learned that fraudulently obtained evidence is as good as non-existent, have we not?

I suspect that the president’s tax returns are perfectly clean and legal. I also think that he’s held them back so that the left takes up the issue. After doing their usual screaming and ranting and frothing-at-the-mouth smear routine, I can see the president releasing his tax returns and we find that they’re in order. Not unlike the big scoop Madcow got - taxes paid, deductions legal, nothing to see.

I can’t help but think that if there’s anything untoward about his tax returns, he would have been in trouble already. Plus something would have been leaked.

Insane. Nobody has to publicly release their tax returns. (And expecially not from 20 or 30 years ago. ). These commies can’t be that crazy. I think it’s just more of their harassment and obstructionist bullsheit bullsheit

Do these morons understand that if Trump had broken tax law the IRS would have already figured that out? He has to be one of the most scrutinized tax payers in the country. And what about his business in other countries?

There are not even any straws to grasp at this point.

He’s held them back because there are hundreds of pages of details the press can use to distort. They are trying the same thing on Jarred right now. Everybody who invests in real estate uses the same techniques to minimize taxes. It is no scandal.

I simply do not understand the fixation on Trump’s taxes. Is someone trying to shame Trump because he is wealthy? Good grief, people. Get a life!
