Trump's lawyers need to be ready to file their lawsuit against this 10 seconds after Cuomo signs it. And they should seek punitive damages for gross abuse of power.

Nixon only joked about sicing the IRS onto his political enemies. The Democrats actually do it....while saying Trump’s the new Nixon.

Americans are protected from bills of attainder at both Federal and State levels because the Founders were fed up with these sorts of evil games. It’s one of the reasons Americans tore themselves away from England. A just court would smack it down.

I assume each of us has filed a tax return. Ever remember attaching a bank statement, copy of your balance sheet, or snapshot of your IRA/401K/Retirement savings account?
All the “financial information” they will get will only be used for harrassment, it will tell them nothing.

FTA: “requested by leaders of three congressional committees for any specific and legitimate legislative purpose”
So far, no committee has been able to articulate a specific and legitimate legislative purpose, because there isn´t one. They are trying to conduct a criminal investigation through House committees.

......no Congressional committee has been able to articulate a specific and legitimate legislative purpose to see Trump's
tax returns, because there isn't one. They are trying to conduct a criminal investigation through House committees...... But first they have to find a crime. Good luck with that.

Where do you find one? What with FISA secret courts, Red Flag secret courts, judges making law and plain old corruption, I’d say there is a better chance of catching a unicorn than there is finding a just court.

It’s New York. They have a legal system not a justice system.

Trump is a billionaire.
At this point, I'd be comfortable with him using his wealth to put out contracts on these so-called "lawmakers".
To: rjsimmon
More especially I think it could be argued that this is a bill of attainder, also constitutionally prohibited. It will take years for that to get to the SC.
To: Buckeye McFrog
Or maybe use some of that money to pay off the corrupt politicians in that state.
