Trump Sues to Block Release of his Financials

[B. Kidd]

Why are Democrats so infatuated with his Financial background?

When you are a subject to partisan witch hunts for several years running, you would be worried about it. Since there is no law requiring that Trump or anyone else running for the White House to publish their tax documents, Democrats continous insistence on it for three years without due cause is becoming an example of harassment.

Democrats who REQUESTED for the documents from the IRS (who turned it down) , then the Democrats go for the subpoena they make clear they have no probable cause to bank on, thus another witch hunt becomes the only possibility.

The LAW governing the Democrat's request is unusually clear. The IRC states, "Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means....the secretary SHALL furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such a request."

Republicans Are Trashing the Law to Keep Trump’s Taxes Secret

Donald Trump was widely regarded as a lying, narcissistic con man long before he moved into the White House, so anyone who questions why his financials might influence his "public service" are probably as indifferent to the US Constitution as he is.

Trump doesn't have to show congress jackchit.
4th Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"The law governing this matter is unusually clear.

"The Internal Revenue Code states, 'Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request.'

"This law has been used to examine tax returns of high-placed political officials.

"It was enacted in order to let Congress examine financial conflicts of interest by the administration, and forced the disclosure of a president’s tax returns (Richard Nixon)."

Amatuer lawyers like Georgie end up on CNN/MSNBC passing themselves off as 'experts'.
Fake law.

 

[B. Kidd]

Why not just release them though. I don't believe he did anything wrong and broke no law. What would be the harm? I think his approval rating would rise 10 points if they were released.

Because he has a constitutional right to privacy in lieu of not being charged/indicted for any crimes.

Besides, he handed over one million + documents to Mueller and NEVER INVOKED ANY EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE one goddamned single time during Muellers investigation.

So you and your ilk can fuck off!!!

"Neal initially asked the IRS to comply by April 10th.

"That deadline was missed, with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin arguing he was busy consulting with the Justice Department about oversight issues, according to Politico.

"Neal set a second deadline of April 23rd.

"Whatever response Mnuchin and Rettig do ultimately devise, it’s not expected to include Trump’s tax returns, which he is obsessed with keeping private, for some strange reason."

Why Is Trump So Worried About His Finances Going Public? – Rolling Stone

"On Monday, the president went so far as to sue House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), as well as his own accounting firm, in an attempt to block a subpoena of Trump’s accounting firm...."

"Cummings initially wrote Mazers USA, the accounting firm in question, seeking Trump’s financial records on March 20th, weeks after the president’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, testified publicly before the Oversight Committee that Trump had lied about his finances in an effort to mislead lenders.

"The company responded, Cummings said, by requesting a 'friendly' subpoena to formalize the process, after which it planned to comply with Congress.

"Last week, Trump’s attorneys tried to pressure Mazers USA into not honoring a subpoena from Cummings, writing that it 'would not be valid or enforceable.'"

Ready for the good part?

Trump wants Democrats to pay his legal bills in this obfuscation.

Is it simply taken for granted that this president holds himself above all legal accountability and Republicans will inevitably support him to the hilt?

Let's see your financials, Jew hater.

Oh THAT'S different.

What is our President trying to hide?

 

[lantern2814]

It was determined (and put into LAW) a long time ago that Congress may NOT get anybody's tax information unless there is a LEGAL question or proceeding. Political/legislative reasons are not valid and this request was rightfully denied. Also, since the branches are considered co-equal, release of Trump's financials would result in EVERY Dimbo's financials getting released as well. Don't think Pisslosi wants that.
