Key House Democrat Formally Asks For Trump's Tax Returns

[soulcougher73]

Personally I don't care, I'm sure there is nothing to hide there, I just like watching you guys grasp at straws. He spanked you guys pretty hard, you're leaving no stone unturned.

If their is nothing to hide, then he has no reason to try and hide them, amrite? So i wonder why he is trying to hide them. Hmm

Obama's birth certificate was the real witch hunt

I agree, he meets the qualifications to be president. A Hillary staffer started that movement in 2008. But alas, it was a witch hunt, I agree. Just like today's bs attacks by the left on Trump.

It's funny how you think Congress attempting to find out if anyone is bribing the president is a 'BS attack'.

 

[zinfamous]

Now Trump's attorneys are threatening to sue his accountants if they comply with a congressional subpoena for his tax documents.

This is definitely the behavior of someone with nothing to hide, lol.

...are these real attorney's? Are they actually this fucking stupid?

You've been told this is incorrect but here you are still lying about it. No wonder you love Trump so much.

And Trump was the Birther in Chief for the next 8 years.

Y'all knew Trump ws crooked when you voted for him, didn't you? Of course you did. He even told you so. You admire him for getting away with it, too.

Is the Treasury Secretary in jail yet? Why not?

I do love how they waffle between gloating about Republican/conservative corruption to claiming it doesn't even exist, or "the Democrats are just as bad" with often literally nothing to back it up (or if they do its ridiculously disparate levels, like a Democrat is given a cup of coffee while the Republican was running a cocaine farm masquerading as a coffee plantation, they're equally as bad!!! Why aren't we investigating the Democrats over the coffee they've been given?!? That's bribery!!!).

 

[darkswordsman17]

It's deeply unfair and totally wrong for Congress to want to know if someone is bribing the president.

It should be illegal!!! How can we expect a group that includes Democrats to properly investigate Republicans! BIAS!!! We need a Republican investigation into the Democrats over their bias!!!

You'd think that looking at someone's finances would be standard for any high level government position. Especially in a case such as Trump, where he is blatantly making domestic and foreign policy decisions based on the impact it will have on his personal finances. He's repeatedly demonstrated a complete lack of honesty, so it's not like you can just trust him to do what's best for the nation instead of what's best for his business. He's a golden example of someone who is vulnerable to extortion/bribery.

At least there won't be any taxpayer money wasted on politically motivated investigations, like Benghazi, the next time a Democrat becomes president, as the Republican's don't like to do investigations on anything anymore... right?

How dare you bring rational thinking into this!

I'm surprised he's not in jail yet myself.

the only qualification to be president is to be 35 years old and have the ability to get people to vote for you. trump has the ability to bankrupt a casino and he doing that to the US and you're too stupid to see that.

They must also be a citizen by birth.

Slow also uses this same logic to justify stealing cars when their owners leave them unlocked.

The term in the Constitution is a natural born citizen, meaning that they never had to go through an immigration/naturalization process in order to become a citizen of the US. They also have to have resided in the US for at least 14 years.
All this, however, is hardly relevant to this thread's discussion, except to note that same clown who knowingly and ceaselessly lied about lied about that last's President's citizenship is now lying to us about violating the emoluments clause. And if wasn't a witch hunt that the last President was forced to show his birth certificate, then it's not a witch hunt for Trump to show his tax returns.

I knew that, just forgot to include it in my post.

If the new standard is if possible wrongful intent bars an otherwise lawful action, then the vast majority of Trump's actions since taking Presidency are invalid-and that's not even counting the huge chunk of actions already declared invalid by the courts.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Congress lawfully issues subpoenas then lawyers threaten to sue those who must comply if they do. Threatening people if they comply with the law should be grounds for disbarment.

Yes, the difference between taking a legal action and committing a crime is often intent.

For example it is perfectly legal for a business owner to shred documents. It is a crime for a business owner to shred documents in order to obstruct a criminal investigation.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

When I read his post I had the same thought. WTF difference does it make if this investigation is taxpayer funded or DOJ funded because they are one in the same. Who does he think funds the DOJ? lol
It makes me wonder if some people just can't connect the dots when it comes where our government gets its money from.

As far as the OT is concerned. The Dems had their Ken Starr moment with the Mueller investigation and after a couple years it looks like it didn't reveal much if anything. It certainly didn't prove that the President collaborated with Russia to undermine the electoral process of the United States.
This whole tax return demand seems like another desperate attempt at undermining the President.

HIS FUCKING CAMPAIGN CHIEF IS SERVING TIME FOR BEING AN UNREGISTERED RUSSIAN AGENT

It is also frankly bizarre that some people have become so partisan that they think Congress wanting to know if anyone is bribing the president is a ‘desperate attempt to undermine him’. No, it’s literally the first thing you should know about a president! The real cause for outrage is that Republicans spent two years not even conducting this basic level of oversight. Every one of them should have been ousted for dereliction of duty.

It is frankly scary just how much the basic functions of government depend on lawmakers putting the country before their party.

We should probably add an IQ test to these standards to be president.

if that was in place the last 2 republicans elected president likely wouldn't have fared well.

For example it is perfectly legal for a business owner to shred documents. It is a crime for a business owner to shred documents in order to obstruct a criminal investigation.

It would also be illegal to threaten others and influence lawfully ordered compliance to testify, which is obstruction as you say.

GWB is not in the same class as Trump for all I despise what happened after 9/11, nor nearly as dangerous. Given a choice between the current GWB and Trump or his ilk? I'd take the former back which is not to say I'd want him in office, but the difference between Trump and anyone who has ever held Office is East from West.
