Yes, The Democrats Can Legally Access The Pres's Tax Returns, & Yes, The Info Will Be Made Public

[easyt65]

...and YES, their doing so is completely politically motivated, no matter what they and their surrogate fake news media cohorts claim.


26 U.S. Code § 6103:
26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information
The Code / Law allows the chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, among other senior lawmakers, to seek returns by sending a written request to the Treasury Secretary.
-- It is officially the authority of the Treasury Secretary to decide if those tax returns are released or not. (The President will undoubtedly 'pressure' the Treasury Secretary NOT to release them, appropriately pointing out the request is politically motivated. If Mnuchin refuses, however, Congress can hold him in Contempt of Congress.
*** The Code has rarely been used, but there has been no reported refusal by a Treasury Secretary.

Once in the hands of the Democrats, either in the House Ways and Means Committee or in the hands of Democrats in general, it is almost guaranteed that personal /private data will not only be leaked to the public but it will also be used to fuel more unsubstantiated claims, accusations, and attacks against the President.
*** The historic evidence of Democrat / conspirator / liberal media's leaking information - from Comey's to his professor buddy (with the intent it be leaked to the liberal press) to McCabe's leaking (for which he was recommended for indictment by the US IG) to D-Schiff's admitted leaking to the Mueller 'Hit Squad's leaking of info in the last few days - proves this to be the case.

Despite Democrats' claim their request for 6 years of Trump's tax returns is not politically motivated, the direct evidence that it is will be the almost immediate release / leak of information from those returns after they are released to the Democrats. IT WILL HAPPEN! (I predicted it officially here 1st! )

Another more immediate bit of obvious evidence exposing this as being politically motivated is that despite the Mueller report (so far) exposing there was no crime of collusion established, no indictments made for 'illegal collusion', and no more indictments coming, the Democrats want to go on this new 'fishing expedition', displaying they think they can find something criminal in the President's tax returns despite the IRS, whose job it is to audit tax payers and determine this, having found no evidence to date of criminal activity by the President, either.


Can House Democrats release Donald Trump's tax returns?

AOC warns President Trump Dems' Demand For Tax Info NOT A Request


It is amazing that this alleged Socialist criminal currently under investigation for numerous FEC violations can accuse anyone else of financial misconduct and demand to see THEIR tax returns...but that about sums up Democratic Party hypocrisy and the lack of political 'equal justice' when Democrats are involved:


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit with FEC complaint for alleged 'subsidy scheme'

AOC ran a ‘subsidy scheme’ to fund her campaign, FEC complaint says

Ocasio-Cortez Slapped With New FEC Complaint

Democrats appear to have NO probable cause to seize his tax returns, after all that is what the 4th Amendment is about, protecting against unreasonable searches. Since it is an obvious fishing expedition, the President can legally tell them to go away.
===============
From Legal Information Institute,

"Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, 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."

From Wikipedia,

What about PROBABLE CAUSE?

"In United States criminal law, probable cause is the standard by which police authorities have reason to obtain a warrant for the arrest of a suspected criminal or the issuing of a search warrant. It is also the standard by which grand juries issue criminal indictments. The principle behind the standard is to limit the power of authorities to perform random or abusive searches (unlawful search and seizure), and to promote lawful evidence gathering and procedural form during criminal arrest and prosecution. The standard also applies to personal or property searches.[1]"

During his investigation, Robert Mueller reportedly investigated a $150 THOUSAND DOLLAR donation a Ukraine Billionaire gave to the Trump Foundation.....

One Hundred and Fifty THOUSAND dollars......... Kind of interesting that in his investigation of 'Russian Interference and Collusion' Mueller never investigated the $145 MILLION given to the Clinton Foundation or the $500 THOUSAND paid to Bill Clinton by the KGB Bank as a 'speaking fee'. If 8 years anyone's taxes needed to be pulled it is the Clintons...but of course we have all read about the exposed collaboration between Obama's DOJ and FBI to protect her....NEVER going to happen.




Bill and Hillary Clinton should be investigated

"The New York Times reported in 2015 that "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, [former President Bill] Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock." In total, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian government nuclear agency Rosatum."

The Democrats never had probable cause or evidence of a crime before they opened up an Official investigation of the President 3 years ago.

Just think of 'probable cause' and 'evidence of a crime' as 'badges', and this says everything needed to be said about the Democrats' exposed coup attempt of President Trump:

Can House Democrats release Donald Trump's tax returns?

The plan is to get Trump's Tax Returns and then to DOX all of his businesses, DOX all the people working for him, and to harass him from here to eternity.

 

[Norman]

Prepare for the big Rachel Maddow moment, where it will be revealed that Trump paid more taxes than any democratic member or their parrot organizations such as MSNBC.

As for this not being politically motivated? They must be batshit if they think anyone will buy that.

He has been audited...numerous times, and the IRS, whose job it is to look for fraud/crime, has found none.

The fact that the Trump-Haters - who have leaked info every chance they have gotten and have been exposed as having engaged in (and are still engaged in) a coup against the President - think they can do a better job than the IRS of doing the IRS' job is the continuation of their obvious obsession with taking down the President. As stated, despite their claims of doing otherwise, they are not fooling anyone.

Yeah sure... like Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress and then turned over all the documents ... sure

Actually Trump has repeatedly claimed he couldn’t release his taxes because he was being audited . That on its face is a lie because being audited does not preclude one from doing so.

But now we’ll find out if there is a current audit at all.

And we’ll find out so much more

 

[easyt65]

Nice spin / lie. Eric holder was caught committing Felony Perjury before Congress in an attempt to keep the President's Fast and furious Scandal covered up. His being Censured by a Bi-Partisan Congress had nothing to do with delaying the release of documents and everything to do with his Perjury and the President's protection of him from indictment.

It is people like YOU who don't care about the 4th Amendment, and Probable Cause clause since there has to be a legal reason to get personal property taken for public consumption. You can't just walk in and seize anything that interest you.

Why don't you address a CONSTITUTION law as I showed in post #4?

I personally don't care what excuse the President, or anyone else, made / makes for not releasing their tax returns to a bunch of criminally biased partisans seeking to use that private information against them. Again, any attempt to claim that going after his tax returns now is not partisanly / politically motivated is a lie.


AGAIN, Mueller investigated a $150 THOUSAND dollar Trump Foundation donation from a Ukraine Billionaire yet refused to investigate $145 MILLION donated by Russians to the Clinton Foundation and $500 THOUSAND given to Bill Clinton by the KGB Bank as part of his faux investigation into 'Russian Interference' and 'Russian Collusion'.

That and the exposed communication between the FBI and DOJ ... AND Page's testimony confirming it ... is all you need to know that not only did Obama's DOJ and FBI act to protect Hillary BUT SO DID MUELLER.

 

[easyt65]

Doing so would only hamper their false narrative about how what they are doing is legal / justified.

 

[BluesLegend]

Its called a witch hunt for a reason. Americans should find Dem's eagerness to violate Trump's rights and abuse of government agencies and government power to attack a citizen chilling.

Damned right its politically motivated. Since Mueller cleared Trump the Dem idiots think they can use his taxes to get him.

Talk about a bunch of desperate whinny ass bitches.
