“Executive Privilege”.
That door swings 2 ways.
He believes?....There is no law mandating that he do so...................
“Private review” is the key term. I’m guessing that the Treasury Secretary can easily comply by having the document at a Treasury vault area, and the Chairman (by himself) can walk in and observe it. Since the chairman is not an accomplished finance expert....he’ll have no idea what he is looking at or the details. So the battle will start that he wants copies or to have his own experts to review it. But the law doesn’t give that ‘right’.
Let’s start with total transparency on all elected Democrats, their staffers, their handlers, backers, grift controllers, and foreign interests.
Then we’ll talk Trump.
You’d think we might be able to get some transparency first on how the Deepstate tried (is trying) to sabotage an elected President.
Wonder what good this will do the rats in 2025 or after, when our President has finished his 2nd term, and this case may or may not finally get to the Supreme Court.
Didn’t Madcow get the scoop on all this about a year ago?
Sharing tax returns is a scam created by democrats to try to paint republicans as being rich elitists. The only thing that has ever been learned from this ruse is that Hillary Clinton made the taxpayers give her credit for her husband’s used underwear.
We might as well investigate health records too. Because HIPAA doesn’t mean sh!t to these tyrants.
It’s legal, the law says Congress can get any persons tax returns. Problem for Dems, Republicans can request Pelosi and Schumer’s tax returns also.
They most certainly cannot do so. It's clearly in the statute.
