Brady thinking that's a valid threat just shows how fucking stupid he really is.

Yes please. Release them all. We'll start with Kavanaugh ...
Because he couldn’t be on the record to threaten to release Hunter’s tax records.

It was not us he is threatening. He is threatening the Justices that let the committee have the returns. He is informing them that they will be punished for disloyalty.

Oh, I know. I don't think I've seen anyone that is against it yet.

Nice zing at Donald Trump Jr.

cant wait for the crowd sourced audit to figure out how Trump had -$4M income in 2020 while as Pres.
if it was carry over losses, why didnt he use it for 2018/2019 tax years?
I suspect lots more will come out once people start digging into them but to me the most interesting part so far is exactly what we always thought - he is a terrible businessman, haha.

What about $24M in 2018? Where did that come from?

He dumped assets
For example, Trump reported a $22 million capital gain in 2018 and a $9 million gain in 2019 from asset sales, sending his income into the black following years of enormous losses.

Ignoring all the previous returns, can someone explain why a person can have a 24 Million income and only pay 1 Million in federal taxes?
That is a little more than 4% with my meager income I pay more than that.

I’m pretty sure one reason is you can roll business losses from previous years into later ones when you do actually make money to reduce your taxes.

That being said the IRS has already uncovered a number of very suspicious deductions he took. If I remember right one example is he claims to have contributed huge sums to charity (lol)…all in cash. (LOL)

Post Nixon mandatory Presidential tax audits were required. That didn’t happen with Steve Mnuchin in charge of Treasury for the first two years.

The actual head of the IRS said his tax returns were too big fish for them to handle. Thanks Pubs for decimating the powers of the IRS. Still whining about hiring all the new employees, Pubs, huh?
I'm sure they tried real hard. They assigned one agent.

The people that were concerned about the "87,000" new IRS Agents were worried because they'd been grifting themselves. Plus it'd probably take that many to sort through the shell company bullshit that Turmp and other wealthy people have been pulling to evade taxes.

Any chance that charity was his own foundation which he had to subsequently close??
