Good synopsis as to why Congress needs to review Trump's tax returns....

[nat4900]

Given the reality that Trump has been smart enough (and devious) in staffing Treasury and the IRS with his personal stooges (NOT really public servants)....access to Trump's tax returns will be a tough challenge.

Trump LIED that he would ever release them......the "I'm under audit" is a laughable excuse that ONLY convinces his acolytes......but the stonewalling will actually work against him with wiser independent voters who may have had enough of the lies.

Here's the synopsis.....

Congress has multiple reasons to obtain and review President Trump’s tax returns—reasons that are not only legitimate uses of its legislative powers, but also urgently needed, including:

1. To determine if U.S. national security is at risk of being compromised by the president’s financial conflicts of interest
2. To determine if Trump has conflicts of interests bearing on his trade and tariffs policies
3. To determine whether the president is violating the U.S. Constitution by receiving benefits from foreign countries without Congress’ consent
4. To determine whether he is benefiting from his tax policies despite his many public assertions to the contrary
5. To determine whether the IRS is adequately auditing the president
6. To inform the consideration of additional disclosure requirements for candidates and officeholders

On Election Day 2016, the American people did not know that throughout 2015 and 2016, Donald Trump had been pursuing a Trump Tower Moscow deal that could gain him as much as $300 million in profits. The public did not know about the deal, because Trump and his campaign repeatedly lied about it.2 The extent of Trump’s dealings with Russia, or with other foreign governments or interests, remains unclear—and Trump’s finances in general are still murky.

Yeah...they will find that Donnie does the same thing all billionaires do, use the tax code the asshole politicians designed, to their benefit.

Have all the pols (aka criminals) in Congress disclosed their tax returns? They are all tax cheats, so they are most hypocritical going after Donnie.

If there was anything wrong with his taxes, why hasn't the IRS taken care of him in the last 30-40 years?

Good synopsis as to why Congress needs to review Trump's tax returns....

BULL. Ask Bernie why he hasn't released his. You should learn the difference between a need, and a DESIRE. You DESIRE unlimited access to Trump's private life in your never-ending search for something to use to hopefully defeat him in 2020 because you know you're going to LOSE. Just the Left's ongoing WITCH HUNT since your boy Mueller failed to get the job done.

AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

They forget that "tax loopholes" are LEGAL tax laws that only a fool would ignore.

 

[Rambunctious]

If they impeach him for cause and charge him with a felony they can ask the courts to make Trump produce his tax returns...but to just go fishing for dirt they can not...this is America not North Korea....everyone even the president has a right to privacy unless convicted of a felony....Trump is innocent of all accusations by the dems...they have nothing because he did nothing wrong...if the dems can go fish through his returns for no good reason they can do the same to us....

yep. If they get his tax returns, they and the MSM will condemn him for things they all do, and dummies like Nat will lap it up.

This effort is really a perfect distraction strategy to dupe dummies.

Let me know when you want to review all 535 members of congress and the senate. Im down. Until then just pound sand, hack.

Plus, Trump has never in his life filled out a tax return. Billionaires have a financial department and tax lawyers to handle their financial affairs. All he does is sign the tax papers.

The former president shared administration of a lucrative endowment fund in Chicago with a (former) domestic terrorist. How did it work out? Other than that Obama never had a real job that didn't depend on taxpayer confiscated money or crooked union dues. Nobody seemed to care about his tax returns because nobody wanted to know where the "community activist" money came from. The democrat party has drifted so far off the charts that they think capitalism and investment in building and real estate might be a crime.

The real answer is that Congress has no legitimate reason to receive Trump's taxes. You can speculate that anyone has committed a crime of some kind. That doesn't give you the government the authority to go rifling through your papers and effects. Some actual evidence of a crime is required for a warrant. Read the 4th amendment, douchebag. Trump has rights just like every other American.

Who said they haven't?

Besides which, IRS doesn't have the authority to enforce the emoluments clause OR to determine what conflicts of interests income, even if legal, may exist. They simply collect taxes.

Your reading comprehension is that of a 5th grader........

Go back and read and maybe COMPREHEND that list I posted.......Its not just a matter of cheating on the existing tax laws...Its a matter of LYING where Trump's money laundromat originates.......Its a matter of breaches of the emolument clauses....Its a matter of whether his trade and tariff policies are ONLY benefitting millionaires, etc.

Surely someone can help you read the list and slowly explain it to you.

 

[Pogo]

Good synopsis as to why Congress needs to review Trump's tax returns....

BULL. Ask Bernie why he hasn't released his.

Better yet, ask you why you ignored them when he did.

LMAO........that "witch hunt" bullshit worked well for THIS guy.......

Rumor has it, that Hitler never personally killed anyone.......Go figure.

you, and the House, are literally grasping at straws.

The best you are going to find, is he, or his tax people, forgot to cross a T, or dot an I.

Uh huh. And you know this how again?

Let's get this straight --- nobody has Rump's tax returns, yet you're looking at them? Go ahead and post them here, USMB will be famous. You won't even get a threatening letter from Michael Cohen.
