Trump said this morning that he doesn’t want to let Dems see his tax returns once they assume control of the House.
Tough shit, boyo
The leaders of key congressional committees can ask the IRS for anybody’s tax returns. Republicans simply did not want to do so. Democrats said in October that they would ask the IRS for Trump’s returns if they regained control of the House, which they did on Tuesday night.
Trump said today that he would hand over his tax returns if he weren’t being audited (what the fuck is the IRS doing?), a bullshit excuse he has made since his 2016 campaign, even though nothing about an IRS audit prevents a candidate or a president from disclosing his returns.
“If I were finished with the audit, I would have an open mind to it,” he said today in a rambling answer to a reporter’s question.
Federal law gives congressional tax committees (Ha Ha, Dems in charge now, you piece of shit) the power to obtain anyone’s tax returns. If the taxpayer doesn’t consent in writing, the committees have the power to obtain the returns anyway, which is very nice, indeed.
In response to a written request, which definitely is coming, the law says, “the Secretary [of the Treasury] shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request.”
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, would have to review any such request with department lawyers “for legality,” according to a spokesperson.
“I don’t think there’s any reasonable basis to resist,” said Steve Rosenthal, a senior fellow with the Tax Policy Center. But, he added, “there’s no telling what this president will do, whether he’ll flout the law.”
Trump was the first major-party presidential candidate in 40 years not to release his tax returns, which can reveal detailed information about a person’s sources of income, charitable giving and the amount of taxes paid.
I, as a citizen of this country want to know how much he's actually worth, and whether he has ANY monetary ties to Russia, which he disavows, or if he's full of shit. (bet on it)
One way or the other, this is hopefully the 1st of many more thorns in the side of Trump now that the House is in the Dems control, and not some boot licking Pub rats.
The party is officially over.
