The House Ways and Means Committee released a partially redacted version of former President Trump's tax returns Friday, completing a longtime objective of Democrats to make Trump's finances public after the former president unsuccessfully tried to stop them in court.
The financial documents cover six years of Trump's individual returns filed jointly with his wife, Melania, including his time in the White House. The document dump also includes tax forms for several of Trump's business entities that were investigated by Ways and Means Democrats, a report from the Democratic majority, and a response by Republicans on the committee.
The tax forms provide insights into the state of Trump's finances

The Dims hoped to find evidence of illegal business or tax maneuvers. Had they done so, Trump would be already in court. Failing that, they wanted to embarrass Trump by pointing out that he uses ways to avoid paying taxes not available to the ordinary (less wealthy) American tax-payer. Jealousy remains a powerful emotion - and BTW one of the original Ten Commandment sins.
The Democrats efforts to discredit Trump are worthy of our anger. But what we should fear is that ALL of us are now subject to the loss of our financial privacy to suit someone's political purposes. The horse has left the barn. Dims should rightfully be hoisted by their own petards.

It was OKd to release the returns to Congress. But, did that include releasing them to the public? I thought tax returns were private, sort of like medical records.

I wonder if democrats used the tax returns for the stated purpose given to the courts or if they just wanted to make them public. If the latter, I assume the fraud will be prosecuted. s/off

There is not a single member of Congress that can figure out these returns. I doubt the IRS can figure them out. And positively, no CPA has a clue what this mishmash says, other than demonstrate that the Federal Tax Law is insane cobbledygook.

Is there any American citizen whose rights have been as persistently and egregiously attacked and violated as Donald Trump? Give it a rest, people. Your fear of being found out as the frauds you are is palpable.

SCOTUS approved the Democrats in Congress getting Trumps tax returns. They had to know full well that the ruse used to justify Congress getting them was just that a ruse and the purpose ultimately was to find something illegal in them and to release them to the country. So, I think that all SCOTUS members should have their returns turned over to Congress and released to the country -- especially that corrupt Roberts' returns.

There is no rule, or law that states candidates have to release their tax returns in order to run for office.
But now that the dems released PRESIDENT Trumps, lets see bidens. clintons, bushes and obamas.
Dems are out there saying that the tax release shows that PRESIDENT Trump cheated on his taxes.

List this under "some things never change" and watch the original movie of Robett Bolt's play "A Man for All Seasons", It is the story of St Thomas More and how Henry VIII in order to pretend he had a right to marry Anne Boleyn was willing to turn all the laws of England upside down. Corruption knew no bounds then with Henry and now it knows no bounds with a democrat Congress running amok in order to try to destroy the one man in this nation who is willing to stand up to them and expose them for the criminal class they are.

I say turnabout is fair play: Release Schiff’s, Sanders’, Warren’s, Biden’s, Obama’s, Comey’s et al tax returns. See how they like it. There is no reason for this kind of persecution of Trump other than that they just don’t like him. Well, I just don’t like these others and we need to investigate them.

What the Democrats did with Trump’s tax returns, violating his right to privacy by releasing them to the public, thus allowing unlimited numbers of partisan leftist Democrat tax accountants and lawyers all over the country to mull over those returns, and along with the liberal media, to make all sorts of “dirty trick” tax avoidance allegations against Trump, long after the IRS examined those returns and accepted them as lawful, certainly makes the US Supreme Court that decided to allow all that to take place are nothing more than a gaggle of legalistic morons.
