Democrats Announce Hearing On Trump’s Tax Returns

then you need to study some unbiased history, if that still exists anywhere, because Bill Clinton was a rapist, womanizer, and sexual deviant.

Please remember that just because I think Trump’s comments and behavior was wrong doesn’t mean that I find a politician from the other side of the political aisle to be right or just. I didn’t comment about Clinton because he really wasn’t the topic or question I was responding to.

Good point. But we did not think Trump was a perfect man when we elected him. We knew that he liked women, had been married and divorced more than once, and was not a slick speaking politician who could talk all day and say nothing (like Obama). We elected him because we believed that he could begin to fix the mess in DC and he is doing that. I personally don't care about the rest of it and neither do most americans.

Fixing the mess in Washington by having most of his people indicted or soon to be .... Having ties with Russia that might get his son indicted ? We know the republicans in congress are too cowardly to do anything about the vile pos but his time is coming soon enough

Wait 6 years and he'll be out of your hair with no effort on your part.

Do you really think hadit that those independents who voted for the disgrace of America Trump, will vote for him again ? Really ?? Say goodbye to the nitwit in 2020 if not sooner

Most likely unless the Starbucks guy runs.

I'm sure everything about tiny donnie's tax returns are on the up and up. Once we can all see that thru the Congressional Hearings, we can put that issue to rest.

It's probably all legal, in fact it's assurdly legal otherwise the IRS would have teed him up in 2014. But they probably show he's a fraud the pos sociopath we already know him for. I really don't see why the dems think it's a matter to be revealed. He got elected without revealing them.

The big deal is he lost $1B in one year via his casino going bankrupt and without question used a very legal loophole that allowed him to use that loss to offset income for several years resulting in no tax liability for those years. That is without question what Trump doesn't want anyone to see, and without question what the Dems would love to be able to show people.

The fact that lots of companies and rich people use this same tax law. Many of them Democrats doesn't even matter to these people. They are trying to dishonestly claim that Trump didn't pay his "fair share" but the reality is he followed the law. If he didn't he would have been charged with something long ago, he's been audited every year since like 2000.

They're easy to find. They're in the same drawer as obamas college records.

I was not aware that Former President Obama was still renting a large space in conservative republican heads.

I hardly think you are aware of anything.

The 70% above $10 million seems to be catching on.

We should add the loopholes back in too.

and when Bill Clinton dropped his pants and said "suck this". Before, during, and after his campaign and time in the oval office, you never said a word. hypocrite, fricken hypocrite

I think I have a reasonable excuse for not saying a word when that happened considering I was born in 1992 and would have been roughly six years old.

not one of the people indicted by Heir Mewler were indicted for anything having to do with Trump or the 2016 campaign, or Russia. The only evidence of ties to Russia is by the Hillary campaign, fusion GPS, and the fake Steele dossier. Not to mention the 145 million in Russian money that was funneled to the Clinton foundation and then laundered into the Clintons personal bank accounts. Why isn't Mueller looking into any of that?

So if a person makes 10 million in a year, you would let him/her keep 3 million and the government would take 7 million? Have you told Streisand and the rest of the hollyloonies? Have you told Lebron James?

Demonstrably false. 19 Russian agents and three Russian companies indicted

wrong, those Russians allegedly spend around 50K on facebook ads, there is no tie to trump or the campaign. Interesting that you failed to respond to my question about the Hillary campaign, Russian money, and the fake dossier that her campaign paid for.

Democrats will hold the hearing instead of just trying to obtain the documents.

The secrecy of President Donald Trump’s tax returns will be the subject of a hearing next week, Democrats in the House of Representatives announced Thursday.

Democrats have had the power to request Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service since they assumed control of the House this year, but they’ve hesitated. To build the public case for disclosure, the House tax committee’s oversight panel will examine its authority to obtain the president’s tax returns at a Feb. 7 hearing.

Trump was the first major presidential candidate in 40 years not to release tax returns, which would have revealed detailed information about his sources of income and how much tax he pays. Democrats vowed to get the returns themselves, but haven’t done it yet.

Pressure is building, with an ABC News/Washington Post poll showing a healthy majority of Americans support the move. Tax March, a coalition of liberal groups, has been pressuring Democrats to hurry up, and Democratic members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus have been getting antsy, too.

Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), the chairman of the tax committee, has said he wants time “to lay out a case” for the move and that staffers drafting the request are doing it “methodically” and need time.

Trump’s tax returns could show whether he evaded taxes, as a blockbuster New York Times report alleged that he and his father, Fred Trump, did for decades in the 20th century. The returns could also provide information about the sources of financing and debt at his multi-billion dollar real estate business.

As part of the public case, Democrats introduced legislation by Reps. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) and Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) that would require presidential candidates to disclose 10 years of tax returns.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has hinted that he will not comply with the Democrats’ request, which could get tied up in court for months.

Well, slow but sure - hopefully. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin will likely be forced to turn them over. What do you think?

UnAmerican to say FBI is not doing its job.
Patriotic to say the IRS is not doing its job.
