Add yet another government overreach to the “Things You Didn’t Think Could Happen in America” file: Democrats on the lame-duck House and Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday to release six years of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns. Why? Because they um, uh—because they want to?
But wait, you say to yourself, that’s not possible; your tax returns are private by federal law, and therefore protected from release.
The Dems of course found a sleazy way around that. The tax code allows the committee to look at people’s tax returns to provide “oversight” of the Internal Revenue Service, and by writing an official report on their findings,

Democrats don’t fear that their tax returns will be released if there is an opportunity for Republicans to do so because there is still some integrity within the members of the Republican Party. Democrats also arrogantly believe they will have their hands on the levers of power indefinitely. Controlling the outcome of elections is immeasurably powerful not to mention it comes with enormous confidence that they are able to do as they wish and they will. Democrats have no conscience, no sense of right or wrong and they are not plagued with any semblance of restraint. No law can stop them. They are a force unto their own. Adding to their confidence is the weakness of Republicans which allows them the freedom to do whatever is possible to achieve their goals. This is the outcome you achieve when you have committed a successful administrative coup d’etat. You are the law. Democrats are slowly but surely assuming the power they have stolen from the American people. We are now being transitioned into a government of, by, and for the democrat party.

The IRS has been all over his tax returns. What does Congress expect to find, that he is rich?
Once again, the Dems have forgotten the Harry Reid Theorem: Whatever the Dems can do when they are in power, the Republicans can do when they are in power.

If this thoroughly corrupt government can raid a former Presidents home and rummage through his wife’s unmentionable drawers, I reckon this same government can and will do whatever this treasonous democrat party directs it to do.

They are certainly stupid creatures these dems. Do they have any idea of the consequences of the door they just opened. They are so blinded by hate and jealousy of President Trump. Yay, we now get to see the big guys tax return along with all of the dems. Now we’ll finally find out how these creatures become so wealthy.

We already have an Internal Revenue Service that enforces the tax code. If Trump did something illegal they should be dealing with it. Trump does not do his own taxes, he pays an army of tax lawyers and accountants, and his tax returns are written to be read by lawyers and accountants.

I never have time or the interest to review my own tax returns. I pay my taxes, then I forget it. Why would I give a flying flip about Trump's tax returns, dims? You dims really disgust.

The Democrats on the committee "investigating" Trump's tax returns just got them. By Congress standards, this must be a record for a supposed investigation, preparation of a report, and releasing the report. Did they even review the taxes? The plan all along was to just get the taxes and release them. The Democrats are setting a bad precedent and should think twice before they act. This will come back to bite Democrats.

A Harry Reid moment has occurred. Remember this date UniParty. From now on, all of your tax returns are visible by the public. Brought to you by the J6 Show Trial Gang. Thanks Bennie and Mad Liz. Now Repubs, can we see Liz's returns, Nasty Nancy's, Pencil-Neck's, Lame Duck's, you get the picture. Let's see them all. Don't forget the Turtle.

I thought it was against the law for anyone to release someone else’s tax returns without their permission. Of course when do democrats follow the law. Someone should go to jail for this as well.

Trump gets audited every single year. If there was anything hinky, the IRS would have leaked the info back in 2015-16 when he was running for president.
My own tax returns are dozens of pages long and I’m just a retired every day citizen with some investments, so just imagine the thousands of pages which must make up Trump’s. Not to mention that I don’t understand a lot of the government/accounting gobbledegook in my own returns and I’m sure that there are millions like me. So who is going to read all of those returns and understand them? Congress hasn’t even read the four thousand plus page heinous bill that they want to pass right now so they certainly aren’t going to take the time to read Trump’s returns.
This is just more smoke and mirrors to make people think that Trump is a criminal. It’s outrageous and I don’t think that it’s going to change any minds.

Bad Orange Man. I don't know of anyone in the history of America who has been persecuted like Donald Trump. The leftists are running full bore. They have already proved they can invade Trump's residence at will. The media is in their hip pocket. Lord, please have mercy and deliver us. Amen.

I'm not worried. Trump was not just honest, he was the only honest politician in Washington.
Turnabout is fair play, so let's have a gander at Chuckie Shoomer's or Adam Shift's returns.

So, how many people who look at PDT's tax returns will understand the code for each line item?
Is it possible for some idiots to twist line items out of context?
Tax returns don't tell the full story. Will ALL the receipts need to be made public also?

I really do look forward to the day Congress becomes interested in the Justices' tax returns, you know, the folks that allowed this travesty to occur.

My take on this:
Crooked and bent people cannot conceive, in their minds, that others may be noble, well-intentioned, and honest in thoughts and deeds. The dems think that Trump has got to be a lying, cheating crook in some way, like themselves, hence the constant assaults on his integrity. They are looking for any chink in his armor to disqualify him from ever sitting down in the Oval Office chair again.
God bless Donald Trump!

You can cheat on your taxes and your tax return can still look reasonable if you fail to declare taxable income. (See Joe Biden, lifetime government employee and multimillionaire or Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders or Nancy Pelosi.)
Most Americans don't even know how to complete tax returns because they hire somebody else to do it.

Theater. If president Trump's tax returns were dirty they would have been leaked a long time ago.
This precedent may come back to bite the commies, just like Harry Reid.

Will not read nor interested in President Trumps tax returns. If President Trump took full advantage of tax loopholes in a oppressive steal all private wealth unfair tax system which means he got to keep more of his own money that he earned kudos to President Trump.
May God visit a fatal plague on all the communist death democrats and their fellow Rhino politicians.

They spent millions battling in numerous courts to get access for "Legitimate Legislative purposes", to get access, now before even looking at them they are scheduling a full PUBLIC release.
But 1st
They call in the media and stage a "Perp Walk" with armed police guards of a stack of boxes.
This was never for congressional oversight, this was colluding with various state and local prosecutors who could not "Legally" gain access to these records in their various collaborative attempts to "Get Trump".
PS: the same committee has not asked a single question about the co-mingling of "family" funds used to pay off russian hookers, pimps, and drug dealers...even though there is publicly available, confirmed , emails, taped conversations, and even video of President Bidens personal credit cards and bank accounts being used for those purposes.

I agree releasing his tax returns is a massive invasion of privacy. However, I also think he should have thrown the dems a bone when they first made it an issue. Why not submit an exact copy of the disclosure forms submitted by previous dem presidential candidates with his pertinent info filled in? His resistance made them even more determined to humiliate him and they now have the entire meal.
How much good (if any) it will ultimately do them, remains to be seen. But this could have been prevented by a relatively minor anticipatory concession on his part; taking the issue off the table and out of their hands.

I hope Richard Neal's tax returns are in order. They need to be the next ones released, along with Nasty Piglousy, Hunter Biden, Dementia Joe, Schumer, and any other leftists whose returns catch the eye of the new committee members!!
