This is my biggest issue with releasing his tax returns. They aren't a tax diary. They aren't something he put on a zip drive and buried in the desert.
They are filed with the IRS. You know, the arm of the government that decides how much tax you owe.
They have been reviewed by the agency that reviews tax returns already.
Yup. They are going to be perfectly legit tax returns, but the MSM will use the fact that normies don’t know shit about complex tax laws to make it seem like Trump was doing something horrible with his taxes, even though he was just doing what his accountants and the IRS said to do.
Knowing the taxes were filed properly, the IRS can still investigate them over and over again. Literally five years from now the NYT could print a story that "Five years later, the IRS has expanded its search to include records before 2000." Readers can then infer that to mean "Orange man is so bad that his deviousness spans decades into the past!!!"
And that's being generous. A leftist in the IRS can just say "Here's an accounting error I just fabricated! We got Trump for fraud!" Then Trump's lawyers line up to say it's a fabrication, and a leftie judge will say "I agree with the IRS." Even if they convict an accountant, it's a win for them.
It's not like he prepares his own taxes anyway. These morons on twitter act like Donald Trump sits there with Turbotax or whatever and does his own taxes. Whatever Cy Vance finds, blame the acct.
Those people don't even understand how their OWN taxes work. Trump's taxes would be like totally unrecognizable to them. It would be like reading ancient Greek. However, some talking head POS who works for the fake news would tell them that Orange man bad.
Clearly they want to throw Trump into jail. They know (illegally) that something is there that they can leverage into a conviction using a corrupt DA and judge.
No, you don't get it. That legal reasoning only applies when it benefits the left. The rules are "heads they win, tails we lose." They're not even trying to pretend that there is justice or a rule of law.
He released a couple of years but not all the years going back to 2008, as far as i understand. I could be wrong though. It's confusion. Think about it though. Why would they still ask for something they already have?
They are calling for them because they continue the investigation of the 2016 election even to this day! You just can't get more moot than that. Meantime these fuckers won't hear a single case of actual vote fraud in 2020. The SCOTUS is vile, corrupt trash.
He didn't file them. He pays people to file them for him, and he alluded to that in his recent statement. Those same people he pays to do his taxes are used by millionaires all over the USA. This whole thing is stupid to the nth degree.
I work for a CPA - as far as I know you cannot release any tax returns to anybody without the taxpayers permission. Why is this any different. These are personal and this PISSES ME OFF.
The IRS already reviewed and approved them, because he audited them every year. They are the only agency that handles this. So, everyone who says they're done wrong are a bunch of retards, because the IRS already reviewed and approved them.
IRS is not a charity either. No one is supposed to pay more tax than you owe and it's stupid to do that. It's more virtuous to give your remaining $ to an actual charity, rather than do your taxes poorly and pay more to the IRS. So, those who make stupid claims about 'paying your fair share' are a bunch of morons who don't know the law of this country. How much tax did THEY overpay? Not a single cent.

Because hormones are fucking retarded.
Instead of being mad the person who used the tax laws to their benefit, why not be mad at those who WROTE THE FUCKING LAWS?
Not only that. They were reviewed by the Obama IRS which was extremely corrupt. Even THEY said his taxes were clean.
Nothing is moot! They’re currently looking into bad things he’s reported to have said to a classmate in 3rd grade!

I don't know what they expect to find. Line 82: $100,000,000 from Vladmir Putin (misc)?
The time and money wasted on this is...well, it's liberalism. It's a mental disorder.
Biden’s taxes are not. Let’s see them.
I took yesterday as a pretty clear message about what’s going on and again it’s not good...

They will do everything they can to ruin him and anyone else that attacks the deep state.
Taxes are moot period because you don't report fucking crimes on your tax returns.
What the fuck do these people think? You add all bribes to line 7a or some shit?
This has nothing to do with "right now" they want to be able to find anything on Trump to use on him in the future if they need too.
We all heard the term "insurance plan" from the FBI...well the opposition is starting early.
he also filed them at night, and there is no way that anything done at night is a crime...
He released a couple of years but not all the years going back to 2008, as far as i understand. I could be wrong though. It's confusion. Think about it though. Why would they still ask for something they already have?
Its not like trump filled out the forms anyway....accountants and lawyers did... MOOT
My only doubt is that didn't Mueller already had a deep dive into this
Let's not drag common sense into this, the Supreme Cunts don't understand it.
Mueller also had them as well as the SJW IRS. It's another witch hunt for a missing comma or used the wrong color ink crimes

No standing to get this year's taxes either.
I know...right....clown world....

AWESOME
This.
Sets the stage for Hunter Biden with subsequent kickbacks to Potato though.
New york needs the work, since they have eradicated all crime in the state.

This is just another diversion from the truth coming out. Another total waste of time and taxpayer money.

Plus, no proof of harm beforehand, so NO STANDING.
