Democrats Announce Hearing On Trump’s Tax Returns

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.

It's about time. If he is involved in any conflict of interest business ventures as many suspect, one would think that he would gladly be cooperative with Congress in order to put such suspicions to rest.


Congress gave itself the right to review any return or return information in 1924, in the aftermath of two controversies.

One was the Teapot Dome scandal, where senior officials in the Harding Administration granted public oil field leases in exchange for bribes.


The other involved allegations that Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon continued to own many business interests while serving in government. Some believed the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the precursor to the IRS, showed favoritism to the secretary and his businesses.

Of course, we all know that Trump is far too honest an individual to engage in such behavior......ROFLMAO.
 
Congress CAN subpoena them yea

Why does that terrify Trumpers so?

If there's nothing to hide....

I think it is stupid as hell and a waste of time and money.

The only positive is that while they are doing this they cannot be fucking over the country with stupid laws.

Yup it is one stupid idea.

They should be attending to what the country needs. Not having a hearing about Trump's tax returns.

There isn't one working brain cell among the lot of them.
So many scams so little time Wait till they find out what Stone's been hiding And best yet Trump can't pardon himself after he loses next election

LMAO You really are as stupid as I think you are.

Carry on dipshit.
You think???? lol You're one of the asses responsible for this blight on America

Nope. I'm one of the asses responsible for a great economy, UE lower than its been since 69. Jobs up the ass, new trade deals, new tariff deals and a very improved America.

You are the ass that only sees your hatred for Trump.

Carry on dumbass.

NUMBER ONE on the country's list of urgent things to do! Another manufactured crisis for the Dems to run after wasting millions of dollars as if anyone but them gives a flying crap about the taxes Trump pays, another investigation in search of a crime to justify it rather than the crime justifying the investigation, just to give themselves another excuse to continue to ignore the real work of the nation needing done they were sent there for instead. And the Leftards bit on it every single time.

Proof once again that the country is exactly the way it is because the Democrats WANT IT this way! Hardly in office and what have been their targets so far?
  1. Stop Trump from building a wall protecting our border from undocumented aliens flooding in.
  2. Get a look at Trump's tax returns hoping there is something there they can actually build some sort of campaign case against him with!
Meantime, the nation can GO TO HELL under their perennial neglect.
Dmes wantg it this way?Like hell, there is your full of shit self producing drivel and bull shit as normal. Blame the wall on Dmeocrats, you remember having both houses and the presidency and not getting the wall done ? DUmb fuck! The republicans did not vote it in because it is shit legislation and a worthl;ess waiste of fucking money. They did not fund it becuase they know it is only for idiots like your self. If they did actually want it they are to fucking stupid to pass any thing even when t hey have a super majority. You are a prime dumb fuck!

So who has the right to review Congress when they take bribes and grant favors in exchange for them?

The fuckers legalized bribery sometime around Reagan's 2nd Congress, a Republican one, as I recall.

of course we know you're the honest individual that will hold ideals and laws evenly even among people you love as well as hate.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i slay me.
 
Congress CAN subpoena them yea

Why does that terrify Trumpers so?

If there's nothing to hide....


The problem is that the tax returns might be leaked to the public.

Congress may have the right to see them, just like the staff at the IRS.

The problem is with public exposition of them.

The chance of demagoguery is high.
 
That's easy. Nothing.

You really are stupid.

Putin has nothing on Trump?

Why does he act like Putin DOES then?

Apparently it is YOU who are naively stupid...or simply stupidly dishonest

The only people who think Putin has something on Trump are the lefty loons just like you.

You idiots are hilarious.
Then why was he trying to drop sanctions on Russia and some of putins friends?? The country that are our enemies ?? Perhaps the offer of a 50 million buck condo means nothing to you?? People like you can't believe their lying eyes or ears

Lets go through this again....Putin is a nationalist who believes in a sovereign nation. Trump is a nationalist who believes in a sovereign nation. Much of the world has been infected with globalism. Our nation has. Decades into it. For some reason we have literature from government that is written in spanish. We have Cable TV with several spanish stations at least part of the basic package. We are near a bi lingual nation now. Its all fun. Its all just swell. If any of you ever have a chance to take a cruise. And there are more economical ones. Talk to the people from Asia. They are multi lingual and smarter then many of us. But we are from the United States and do not know how fortunate we are. They serve us. And live better then many in their home nations. But their home nations have caught on to capitalism. To put this into perspective. South Korea was mostly an agrarian society at the time of the great society by LBJ. We have spent tens of trillions of dollars to eliminate poverty since then. Now South Korea is a rich nation while we still have ghettos here in ever major city and in rural area. Within a couple of decades, the East Asians are going to control the economic engine of the world. And you keep playing games.

Very few people would understand President Trump's tax return, few have even see a return the size of the Manhattan white pages.

Revealing it would distract the people from the issues- like returning America to greatness.

The issues aren't the friends of the left.

Aw, bullshit.

The Democrats just don't want to discuss the issues , the Return of America to Greatness, and instead want to just attack their President over non-relevant issues.

Congress has the authority and clearance to view Trump's tax returns. The IRS has audited Trump for the last, what 10 years?

And as far as we know, Trump has not been found to have taken improper deductions etc or "cheated" on his taxes.

The only aim here is political. It's kind of pathetic.
The IRS has been sniffing Trump's underwear for DECADES!!!!!!!
The haven't found anything to charge him with in all those years.
Trump has hired the best tax lawyers in the WORLD for decades.
The fucking idiot DEMs are circle jerking.
