President Donald Trump’s Treasury Department has developed a two-pronged approach to keep his tax returns hidden, despite the best efforts of House Democrats.
According to a Tuesday Politico report, the plan is one part legal, one part political. Trump’s people intend to argue that Democrats would certainly leak Trump’s tax returns — a felony — and thus cannot be trusted with the information.
Their attempts may be aided somewhat by the House Ways and Means Committee chairman’s lack of bloodlust. Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA) is reportedly more enthusiastic about the ins and outs of tax policy than he is about taking on the dual role of Trump adversary and prosecutor. He has not yet requested the returns.
Seems like he really really doesn’t want people to know his tax returns or something…
Grow a pair!
Trump’s tax returns? Surely that has nothing to do with the White House!
Pelosi and the House Democrats had 2 years to prepare for gaining the House Majority.
Now, what are they waiting for?
The subpoenas should have been out January 4th.
Impeachment Now!
Can’t someone just set up a GoFundMe for the first IRS employee willing to claim it?
Say, maybe $5 million to cover the fine, and an extra $5 million for them?
