My impression is that they aren’t looking for any sort of tax fraud, but evidence of other possible shenanigans.

If there is a political motivation, then Congress has no right to see the returns.

Congress only has necessary and proper legislative investigative powers.

Misusing the power of Congress for political witchhunts is totally improper.

An Obama judge ALWAYS sides with his puppetmaster Odiousbama.

I threw that out as a basic truism.

I also wrote that "A McConnell judge is a 50-50 tossup", and McFadden is a McConnell judge, appointed by Trump. Trump didn't win the toss.

“Its logo is a silhouette of former President and Constitution author James Madison, who co-wrote The Federalist Papers.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_Society

The federal government was formed to get 100 cents on the dollar for Revolutionary War debt bought on the cheap.

Over two hundred years later New York City area financiers are still looking for more easy money.

“As long as the probability it was a valid inquiry was greater than zero, the judge had to defer, on its face.”

As long as the probability it was an invalid inquiry was greater than zero, the judge should have barred it.

“necessary and proper” Article I, Section 8

the drawback is, it acts as a deterrant for the average businessman thinking to run for office and opens the door for untraceable ‘migrants’ to run for office, as we see in the lower ranks already

“facially valid congressional inquiries”

Not if there is the stink of ‘rat feces in the air.

The best way to get rich is via common stocks.

If you buy and hold, no tax is due, except in Pennsylvania where there is an intangible personal property tax.

I8(9) To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supremes. The “facially valid” bar doesn’t seem that high.

Re: facilely

No - "facially"

From the legal term, "on its face," sometimes in the context of a first impression, sometimes as obvious or instantly compelling evidence or argument.
