Trump Sues to Block Release of his Financials

[Flopper]

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?

And he's going to lose. Congress has absolute power in Article 1 oversight, and no court is going to rule otherwise. The courts do not get involved in disputes between coequal branches, and even when they have, they demanded a good faith effort from both sides. Trump just flatly refusing to honor the oversight powers of Congress, is a flagarant disregard of a good faith effort.Trump doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. All financial institutions have legal liability for not handing over any documents subpoenaed by Congress, and will not wait for any court decisions before doing so, and there is nothing Trump can do to stop them from handing them over, and Deutsche Bank already is as we speak.

The purpose is to delay everything until primary season.

Why doesnt Trump open up his records and put this to bed ? He can then get on with the important job of MAGA.

Simple because his opposition is trying to force him to do so. It seems likely that he does have something to hide or he would have released his tax returns when he entered the race. If we had every piece of information on Trump we probably would just have more confirmation of what we already know about him.

I suppose it is possible that he is just being awkward because he doesnt like being told what to do. He is in an awkward place though. If they cant get his details they will not let it drop at all.

Trump loves a good fight. The prize is immaterial. He just wants to win.

He's used lawyers all his life to beat the little guy on the head He is a complete scumbag A good fight?? A fn coward

 

[Slyhunter]

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.

Why should he be required to do anything to prove he is innocent against allegations. It is called innocent until proven guilty, it used to be the standard for Americans, it seems the left no wants you guilty unless proven otherwise and you have to prove you did nothing. That seems oppressive and tyrannical.

So, law enforcement can not take files from people/companies they are investigating.

Really?

Not without a reasonable suspicion of a particular crime being committed proven to a Judge.

Wrong. Subpoenas are based on suspicion of a crime, not hate for a president. If they can't produce evidence that Trump committed a crime, the courts will rule the subpoenas illegal.

Mueller identified sevetral instances that look like Obstruction.

Trump lied about his business in Russia? Why?

Funny chit how you assfucks were demanding all this stuff about Hilaey's e-mails but hey. you cry like a baby when Trump gets hos turn.

You love Trump. Try loving your country.

What makes you believe Trump is above the law?

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

"Suing a Democratic committee chairman is only the latest action the president has taken to prevent his finances from going public.

"After House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) sent a letter to the IRS formally requesting six years of Trump’s tax returns, the president said he was 'not inclined' to comply the request, and, according to the Washington Post, is willing to take the fight to keep his returns secret to the Supreme Court.

"Defying the request, which the Ways and Means Committee is entitled to make, would amount to a violation of federal law.

"Nevertheless, as they did with Mazers USA, Trump’s lawyers wrote a letter to the Treasury Department, which oversees the IRS, pressuring them to tell IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig not to comply with Neal’s request for Trump’s tax returns.

"While testifying before Congress earlier this month, Rettig, visibly shaking, said he was 'working on a letter' to respond to Neal."

I dont think he is above the law. What a stupid assumption.

I dont think he is above the law. What a stupid assumption.

Why did you imply support for his suit to block the legally required release of his tax records if you don't think the rich-bi*tch is above the law?

What happened to liberals? They now rollover on their belly for the government.

Trump is taking legal action to try to block the release is part of the legal system. Trump is using the legal system to block what he believes is wrong.

We need some real liberals back in America instead of the frauds and fakes that are currently out there including the OP.

Trump is taking legal action to try to block the release is part of the legal system. Trump is using the legal system to block what he believes is wrong.

Trump is the most lawless POTUS in history. His Treasury Secretary has no legal ground for refusing to hand over Trump's tax returns; the law requires he furnish such documents, and if he doesn't he will find his rich, white, Wall Street ass in jail, which is exactly where Trump and his crime family are headed after he leaves "public service."

Sorry aren’t we talking about his personal financials and not just his taxes? He is not accused of a crime and has the right in this country to defend himself? Why do we tolerate the government invading people’s privacy without reason? Why is a person not allowed to fight government trying to invade his privacy?

As far as due process, did you demand that Obama’s AG Holder turnover documents related to Fast and Furious when Congress subpoenaed him to turn them over?

 

[Papageorgio]

He is innocent until proven guilty, why does he need to prove his innocence. No one in America needs to prove their innocence.

If you set up in the swamp cleaning business it would give you some credibility.

I didn’t vote for or support Trump, I support the Constitution, and our Constitution and our laws are set up to be innocent until guilty, I don’t care what your silly excuse is. We need to follow laws and use the legal system to protect an intrusive government.

So there can never be any investigation? Wow.

They can investigate all they want and a person has a legal right protect their privacy and use the laws. Were you pissed at Obama and Holder when they defied Congress?

Really?

Sure and they can appeal to the courts to block the order or say hand them over. Are you against due process? Were you pissed when Democrats defied Congress?

It doesn’t matter, as long as he is within his rights. If the courts tell him he must turn it over, then he needs to follow the higher decision.

There's ample evidence of possible criminal conduct on Trump's part to warrant examination of his financials:

"Aleksandr Burman, a Ukrainian who engaged in a health care scheme that cost the federal government $26 million and was sentenced to a decade in prison, paid $725,000 cash for a condo at a Trump Tower I in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla. in 2009.

"Leonid Zeldovich, who has reportedly done extensive business in the Russian-annexed area of Crimea, bought four Trump units outright at a cost of more than $4.35 million, three of them in New York City between 2007 and 2010...."

"Buyers connected to Russia or former Soviet republics made 86 all-cash sales — totaling nearly $109 million — at 10 Trump-branded properties in South Florida and New York City, according to a new analysis shared with McClatchy. Many of them made purchases using shell companies designed to obscure their identities."

Buyers tied to Russia, former Soviet republics paid $109 million cash for Trump properties

Hillary's many crimes and bad decisions doesn't mean Trump deserves a pass on his money laundering charges, right?

That is how it works in the criminal justice system but not congress. Congressional committees have the power to subpoena. In the House it usually requires a majority vote of the committee. In the Senate the subpoena power of a committee usually rests with the chairmen of the committee. The subpoena is issued by congress not a judge.

Where evidence of criminal activity is required in the criminal justice system, the rules for issuing congressional subpoenas are in the committee rules. The power of Congress to investigate and obtain information is very broad. No proof of wrong doing is required. If the members of the committee suspect something is wrong they subpoena information to further investigate. The power of congressional oversight can be compared to that of your boss at work. He or she does not need any proof that you're not doing your job or obeying the rules to investigate. This is why half of the House investigations turn up nothing of significance. However, about 15% of the investigations turn up material that is very significant.

Thus, just about every congressional investigation since the first one in 1791 has been labeled a witch hunt, a fishing expedition, or a waste of taxpayer money.

It's evidence Russian individuals may have violated the law. Not that Trump has.

Trump had a due diligence responsibility to satisfy legal requirements designed to prevent the laundering of money acquired illegally. Why would anyone be surprised he took the money with no questions asked?

"'The size and scope of these cash purchases are deeply troubling as they can often signal money laundering activity,' said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee and a former federal prosecutor.

"'There have long been credible allegations of money laundering by the Trump Organization which, if true, would pose a real threat to the United States in the event that Russia were able to leverage evidence of illicit financial transactions against the president.'

"There's nothing illegal about accepting cash for real estate.

"But transactions that do not involve mortgages — which account for one in four residential purchases in the country — raise red flags for law enforcement officials as it could be a way to commit fraud or launder money."
