The IRS also said Hillary, Obama and Biden have broke no tax laws....but it still doesn't stop right-wingers from fantasizing that they did.....
What makes you think that Hillary, Obama, and Biden actually released their returns so they could be copied and spread all over the headlines? What they did release was how much they paid in taxes....not the actual 1040 forms along with all of their schedule C and 1099 forms?
Here is where you force me again to disagree and support that asshole. Damn, I wish I hadn't started this thread.
If it's partisan, so was getting the tax returns on every President since Nixon. Did you complain then?You folks know, I am not a Trump supporter, not a party member and have stated my Independent status many times. That said, what is this action other than partisan bullsh#t? While quite aware, it has become tradition for a candidate before an election, but this crap is about him not doing it before the 2016 election and whether I liked or you liked it or not, he was elected, anyway. That was then. This is now. I am aware, the Supreme Court the Supreme Court ordered that he release the information to Congressional scrutiny. I am good with that, but they never said release it to the public, that I am aware of. This is just a spitefull, partisan action and I tend to think, public release at this point is an undue release, an invasion of privacy (even if he's an asshole) and possibly illegal. My representative is on that committee and voted against. Barring him not doing something stupid (which he doesn't have much history of) I shall vote for him again, next time he runs.
House panel votes to release Trump tax returns after multiyear Democratic quest
The House Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday to release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns, a major win for Democrats who have been seekingwww.washingtonexaminer.com
" Kind of a corollary to many in the government's view that just because something is ILLEGAL doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T do it-- so long as you never get caught.I think they just voted to release the tax returns to the public. I don't know about any redactions. My guess is that even if they are there, there will be some leaks, some slip-ups, some oversights, exposing some sensitive information further harming Trump. Oops.
That is a rather profound truth. Kind of a corollary to many in the government's view that just because something is ILLEGAL doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T do it-- so long as you never get caught.
Yes, and voluntary.
Same as the 8/8 raid on Trump's house-- -- if you really think you've got the goods on an ex-president so heinous as to justify the need to raid his home or force the public airing of years and years of his tax returns despite no legal compunction, then fine so long as you can justify it, and to date, NOTHING has been produced to justify anything, because if it were, then why haven't charges been filed against Trump?
But then, after the two impeachments: one over a phone call asking if Biden had been involved in dirt in Ukraine and following OLC counsel in not turning over unsubpoenaed documents to uphold the separation of powers between coequal branches, and the other stupidly a week before leaving office anyway over a party's displeasure and personal feelings that Trump was somehow responsible for a few hundred irate voters enticed to break into the Capitol when the Capitol was unprepared to fully stop it, nothing surprises me anymore.
Who knows, Trump might end up being the guiltiest man in the world, but even if he is, it shouldn't take sham investigations flouting the law to prove it as a country is only as sound as its willingness to adhere to its OWN LAWS.

It wasn't partisan bullshit when every other candidate released theirs, or when Trump lied his ass off about not releasing his. Just another problem caused by Trump and rectified by those not in his cult and quite in spite of his cult.You folks know, I am not a Trump supporter, not a party member and have stated my Independent status many times.

His income tx returns won't tell you anything about his riches or succeses. You obviously have never filled out a tax return!
Hillary started the birther nonsense, not Trump!
Haha, what a silly attempt at a defense of Trump.
Since the vote, that is exactly what is coming out, and the fact the the problem goes all the way to the head of the IRS at the time, appointed by Trump, who for the first time since Nixon was convinced somehow to dispence with the IRS internal regulation that all Presidents of The United States will have their taxes audited automatically, without fail, to avoid any IRS personnel from looking like they were doing political attacks on sitting presidents, as all presidents got the same treatment. OK, Trump did not. So your point is valid, as a cover up of this nature will have to be investigated, also, and the public would need to know and understand the scope of the problem discovered and supposedly how they discovered it, in this case, Trump's taxes.

I suspect codifying that requirement into law, instead of IRS internal reg, is what will come about.
I don't, don't care at all to see any US citizens tax returns because they are personal property. If the IRS has a problem with Trump that is between them and him. Nobody elses business.
Its tax return data and not the actual tax return. The reports contain the committee’s summation of its findings but not the raw tax returns.

Is it because he commits tax fraud?
