Republicans in the minority on the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee declared Friday that there had been “no legitimate legislative purpose” for the Democratic majority to release Donald Trump’s tax returns.
It was the first time Congress had ever obtained and released the federal tax returns of a private individual. Democrats claimed that they needed the returns as they considered future tax legislation. But the former president argued in court — to no avail — that Democrats were overstepping the separation of powers. On Friday, the committee released six years of Trump’s returns, from 2015 through 2020. While they revealed little that was noteworthy, other than some debatable

Yes Trump set a trap for the Democrats/Rino's. It took the Supreme Court to force Trump to release them. Trump knew there was nothing there. This was a long played out trap to get the Court to set a precedent. When the Republicans take over the House next week, it's time to ask every Democrat and Rino for their taxes. Let's begin with Bidens and Obama's. Sometimes you should be careful what you ask for. Trump outsmarted them.

OK, Line em up! Start with Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Schiff, and then the Republicans, Rove, MCConnell, Romney and on down the line. The precedent has begun, ALL running for office must publish tax return info, give all those newly hired Internal Revenue employees something to do besides go after the lower and middle class, to try to suck what is left of their income after Biden has demolished it.

We all know that Democrats cheat on their taxes. Let's get Hunter's and Joe's returns out there. GOP should do this immediately to ensure that the message is sent.

The demonrats apparently learned nothing from Harry Reid’s actions on the Nuclear Option. Let the payback begin!

The Democrats aren't as wimpy as the Republicans. They'll fight tooth and nail to block any efforts to release their tax records and find a whole team of judges to rule such efforts as unconstitutional.

This is what the \dimocrats, with the support of the courts, have done to the presidency
during DJT's term in office.
1. Wounded executive privilege almost fatally.
2.Killed attorney - client privilege.
3. Eliminated privacy of tax returns.
4. Invaded political campaigns through the use of the FBI, CIA, and NSA.
5. Contracted out censuring of governement officials, violating the first amendment..
The presidency has been stripped bare of normal privileges as a co-equal banch of government. And I don't know if the powers of the presidency can be restored.

FTA, the last paragraph - "After nearly half a century, the political enemies list is back in Washington, D.C, and the Committee’s actions on December 20, 2022, will unleash a new cycle of political retribution in Congress. It didn’t have to be this way. Despite warnings about the long-term negative consequences, Democrats moved forward anyway. This development will simply make our politics more divisive and partisan. Even Democrats will come to regret this. And they may regret it sooner than they think."
Not to worry. The dims are already war-gaming their plan to slow-walk and obfuscate the House pubbies plan to address this abuse of power by the dims.

The Republicans will do what they always do: Make a big show out of doing nothing.
This sounds like another 'release the kraken' moment.

Professional politicians have a life time of engineering their finances and tax returns. The only thing their returns ever reveal is that they give very little to charity. And besides, the MSM will insist that tax returns are confidential and they can't publish them - unless it's against a Republican.
The whole point of releasing Trump's returns is to damage his ability to run his businesses by revealing confidential financial information to his competitors and customers. And the bureaucrats join right in to make sure no one except professional politicians that are under their control are ever in power.

And now WE know why the 87,000 IRS agents are needed...it's about intimidation so WE won't discuss the outrage of President Trump's tax returns exposed to the fake news...it's all about making sure WE don't complain...just like with the doctors about covid ...shut up and give me your money...the best part is....President Trump said it...now you know I'm rich and I earned it all myself...and I gave some money to my kids...probably grandkids too...

Democrats...not to worry. RINOs will stop any attempt to revenge the unlawful disclosure of Trump's tax returns.
