Supreme Court clears way for House to get Trump’s taxes

[ballpoint]

There are multiple video clips of Trump at various rallies and news interviews saying he'd be happy to hand over his tax returns, but...

He must be delighted that they will finally be handed over for him, and his supporters will be ecstatic at finally seeing (one way or another) the records that he was so eager to release, but was stymied by events beyond his control.

Perhaps because the law doesn't require him to do so and it's no business of anyone else except the IRS.

The law requires the IRS to provide both bodies of Congress with any taxpayers filing if requested. 45 tried to halt execution of that law, which is decades old.

 

It isn't up to 45 to decide. One of the powers of both the House and Senate is to request from the IRS the tax returns of anyone who files.

 

Now the guy who appointed 3 justices to the Supreme Court is barking about the court being 'political', because the court followed the law There is absolutely nothing 45 will not whine like a baby about and cry "UNFAIR!", like he always used to Tweet.

 

It seems 45 has been quite the burden on the US Taxpayer. He declared losses for most years (squandering the upwards of $500 million he got from his father via allowance and inheritance, plus all the loans banks forced his father to co-sign), and his 6 bankruptcies become a direct burden on the Taxpayer, because stiffed banks and bondholders get to write off the loss, forcing others to pay to run the govt.

Also, he will lambast the IRS, yet when he was playing POTUS he used the IRS as a weapon against critics like Comey and McCabe.

Got any proof of that?

Odd that you're not aware of this. It's been widely publicised.

Your post is full of supposed facts, but not a single link to prove any of it. You don't even reference the "law" that you mention.

If it's all your opinion, you need to make that clear.

and an IRS audit is confidential, is it not?

yes... until they lay charges.  The charging documents become accessible to the public, but not the tax filing(s) involved.

They were checked, by the Inland Revenue. Had anything untoward been revealed I'm pretty sure we'd have heard by now.

 

PS. it's not the law to make them public, though previous candidates have chosen to do so.

 

Isn't this all rather too late given the GOP control the committees now?

Trump promised to release the returns during his campaign to get elected though. Also known as hoodwinking his own voters

Sooooo, if the details are released that would be a crime, wouldn't it?

Not if Congress publishes them in the Congressional Record.

I think poetic justice would best be served if Donald Dump was required to hand over his tax returns himself to the select committee.

They're fine with doing their job when it's not a religiously motivated case.

Not true at all. They have twisted laws to support corporate interests against workers. And they actually and openly admitted that they were overturning voting rights laws because Congress hadn't changed them.  This violated one of the right wing justices key precepts that it's Congress that legislates, not the courts.
