If the presidents tax returns are fair game, literally anyone elses are fair game... I say the GOP House should request the tax returns of each and every Senator and House Rep to see where their money is coming from...
Of course, ask everyone first, if they refuse to hand them over follow this precedent and demand the treasury turn them over without their permission...
Former presidents do have some sway within the party, I just don't think they can push through specific policies in exchange for being paid for speeches. In this regard I would probably focus more on lobbyists. Companies donating large amounts of money to political campaigns amounts IMHO to legalized bribery.
WTF does fair have to do with it? An actual audit needs to be done on the scumbags you referenced like a good liberal shill. If their tax returns are made public it doesn't mean shit if no audit is done to confirm the validity of the records.
It won't be everything though, some "people familiar with the matter" will speak to the media claiming something wild, but without the documents in public there will be no way to refute the claims, which could be either misrepresentations or just outright fabrications.
This is a page from the democrats favorite playbook of trying to have it both ways: they can make claims based on evidence nobody (including them) is allowed to see so there is no way to verify or debunk it, and their NPC will just accept it as fact even if it's later debunked.
Every single one of your comments has anti-trump undertones. All of them. Why are in here trying to act like you are MAGA when you are nothing but a liberal snake and a troll.
That's not true. And we need to hear more sides of things, other than a giant circle jerk, other than conspiracy theories, other than hopium, in order to be better positioned.
That promise was AFTER the audit of his taxes was complete.
It appears that they are STILL auditing him.
Thus, he never released them. I cannot blame him, as he wants things to be final before release.
The returns are still private, and anyone leaking any of the returns can in theory go to prison. However, it appears that the rules at the DOJ seem to depend on if a (D) or an (R) follows the name.......
Nope it's not none of their business, plus if his accountants did some clever tax filing that saved money they will label him a tax cheat, or they will say he's an idiot that pays too much, or somehow incorrectly infer he has no money or some bullshit
Libtards actually believe that the IRS didn’t already waste a billion dollars of taxpayer money scrubbing his entire financial history trying to find any tax evasion they could. They truly believe the walls are closing in this time.
Nothing will come of this except potential embarrassment for the former president. Even if he did commit tax fraud, his supporters believe taxation to be theft, so nobody’s opinion of him will sway. Just another useless waste of taxpayer money.
He just had them run a wild goose chase to set a precedent eventually we can see everyone in Washington’s tax returns not just presidential candidates!
Just remember what he said about them making the tax laws and that he did not break any. I’m sure he paid next to nothing and did it legally. They’ll of course try to smear him for this but ultimately they were the ones who made the loopholes and anyone in his position would do the same thing.
Truth be told nearly everyone can legally avoid paying income tax, it just requires you actually play the game... Easier for those with liquid funds that can make investments that initially turn into losses, but still doable by just about anyone that wants to invest the time into playing the game... Staring your own business and claiming losses due to overhead purchases on it for the first three years is one of the easiest ways... A friend of mine did this with a landscape business, working closely with their accountant, they bought new equipment as needed throughout the year to zero any taxes owed for three years, this is literally how most wealthy people pay no taxes, they leverage business losses... My friend literally had a garage full of weed eaters, leaf blowers and replacement lawnmower blades, as well as a few unused zero-turns in new trailers just collecting dust...
Huh? Wasting the money would have been paying taxes, instead, he used the money to grow his business... None of the equipment went to waste, he eventually used it as he grew the business... It was either hand the money to the IRS for nothing or buy equipment that he would use at a later date... I don't know about you but paying it to the IRS and getting nothing in return is a waste, buying equipment that you can use or sell later isn't a waste at all... The alternative was pay the money to the IRS and have an empty garage, this way the money was invested back into the business, not given away to the IRS... He is still doing the same thing, he buys new trucks and crap every couple of years, because he would rather spend money on a new trucks and stuff then send it off to the IRS and get nothing...
They could have done this literally at any time. Do you really think if the IRS had tax dirt on Trump it wouldn't have already been wall to wall news reels?
so does anybody in the USA have to pay taxes if they take a loss in a yearly period? it doesn't state anywhere that a person running for President needs to release their taxes to the public. I agree with the rest of America, if this is the new NORM, then lets see them all. Lets open the can to see how a bartender goes from negative 8 grand to a millionaire 10 times over. lets see how whore Pelosi made her 100 million and so on and so on
This is really bad news.
For Biden.
The precedent is set.
Just you wait until Republicans have control of the house and take the moral high ground and declare that the Biden tax returns are none of anyone else’s business!
To be fair here, Trump did say he would release his taxes when he was elected and never did. Even Clinton and Obama released theirs, not really a good look for Don.
Never direct me to CNN ever again. We all know what they have. It's disgusting they did what they did. Fucking USSA and getting worst. Fuck the GOP, we need a 3rd party. Don't care if we all lose at first. Time to clean GOP out. We can't have it then you can't either. Guys they are both cheating!!!
If they can throw the book at anyone geo fenced “out side” the capital building on j6 they can manipulate anything. Remember ,perception is reality to normies.
Am I the only one who knows he obviously uses loopholes like any smart person with money and also don't care? Everyone should do everything they can to pay less taxes.
I figured that already had them, but they had to make this big show so Joe public would they just got them and now they found xyz and Trump must be brought to "justice"... He didn't get his money from books deals, he earned his in the real world... But I am hoping I am wrong and find nothing they can twist and he paid more that due.
I guess all presidential tax returns are fair game now. I'd like to see Obama's, Clinton's, and of course the big guy.
If the presidents tax returns are fair game, literally anyone elses are fair game... I say the GOP House should request the tax returns of each and every Senator and House Rep to see where their money is coming from...
To be fair every GOPer should release theirs as well
Of course, ask everyone first, if they refuse to hand them over follow this precedent and demand the treasury turn them over without their permission...
All of the swamp can have their returns rigged and doctored up by their buddies at the IRS. They have nothing to worry about.
And other financial records, like the Biden family trusts.
Nancy Pelosi
Chuck Schumer
Adam Schiff
Liz Cheney
Maxine Waters
Mitch McConnel
Corey Booker
Hillary Clinton
Just to name a few……
People's especially.
This☝️
As should their personal papers they took from The White House for their presidential libraries.
A 6 AM FBI raid can do that.
To be fair, Obama, Biden and Hillary made their tax returns public when they ran for President.
Book deals and speaking engagements.
Cause they're so fucking interesting as to be worth 500k to drone on.
They are for some people, apparently.
For those purchasing favors.
That probably depends on whether or not the person giving the speech is still in office.
It's a club, not a sea of atomized individuals
They don't drink the Kool-Aid they sell you

Because their entire tax record is public office.
We already know what they make and what they pay on the record for taxes.
They've all been career politicians since this "tradition" began
Sure they did. That's the return they gave as public record not the one handed to them by the IRS.
They all submitted them.
Leaked in 3....2.....1
This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE
Absolute insanity.
Also, OP is a faggot for linking directly to the enemy instead of an archive
It won't be everything though, some "people familiar with the matter" will speak to the media claiming something wild, but without the documents in public there will be no way to refute the claims, which could be either misrepresentations or just outright fabrications.

This.
Exactly
Yep
trump did say he'd release them after he got elected, and never did
He said he’d release them after IRS was done with their audit.
Yep he did! Doesn’t IRS audit him every year?
I watched him say that and explain how he has been under audit for many many years.
That was just made up
If that was the only condition, audits don't last 6 years.
Not sure why this is getting so many down votes TBH. He did say that he would release them.
He did. But fuck them lol. It's a no win situation
Every single one of your comments has anti-trump undertones. All of them. Why are in here trying to act like you are MAGA when you are nothing but a liberal snake and a troll.
That's not true. And we need to hear more sides of things, other than a giant circle jerk, other than conspiracy theories, other than hopium, in order to be better positioned.
That sounds very "Presidential" to me.
If it doesn’t get leaked, we’ll know there was absolutely nothing wrong within them.
Exactly
Looking at your comment history you are nothing but a liberal troll and snake trying to sow discourse in this site.
Or I'm just not a brain dead npc cuck like your history suggests
That promise was AFTER the audit of his taxes was complete.

Honestly imagine caring enough to want to read it.
Libtards actually believe that the IRS didn’t already waste a billion dollars of taxpayer money scrubbing his entire financial history trying to find any tax evasion they could. They truly believe the walls are closing in this time.
Nothing will come of this except potential embarrassment for the former president. Even if he did commit tax fraud, his supporters believe taxation to be theft, so nobody’s opinion of him will sway. Just another useless waste of taxpayer money.
If the IRS had anything on Trump he would have been in jail 20 years ago.
He just had them run a wild goose chase to set a precedent eventually we can see everyone in Washington’s tax returns not just presidential candidates!
Imagine thinking that you are going to find something the IRS missed that is of any value...
I'm a million % positive some Democrat at the IRS already gave the other Democrats these.
If they will steal elections and throw people in gulags they will give his tax returns up.
100% is literally as high as it goes with probability, 101% doesn't exist
I am 105% sure you are a blast at parties.
Accuracy is important
The autism is strong with this one.
Accuracy isn't exactly a strong suit here.
It's a figure of speech numbnuts
According to The New York Times, President Trump allegedly avoids taxes and has lost money.
I like him more now.
Sounds like a crypto tycoon.
And how would they know?
Just remember what he said about them making the tax laws and that he did not break any. I’m sure he paid next to nothing and did it legally. They’ll of course try to smear him for this but ultimately they were the ones who made the loopholes and anyone in his position would do the same thing.
Imagine actually giving a shit if someone paid their taxes or not using the legal system we have in place to avoid said taxes.
You have to be one smooth brain MF to think paying taxes means you're a good person.
Fuck that. If I could avoid paying taxes, I would. Just means there is more money for me and my family.
And the corrupt snakes in Congress will NEVER get rid of those loopholes, because they benefit from them too.

My friend literally had a garage full of weed eaters, leaf blowers and replacement lawnmower blades, as well as a few unused zero-turns in new trailers just collecting dust...
So he wasted money rather than paying taxes?
Huh? Wasting the money would have been paying taxes, instead, he used the money to grow his business... None of the equipment went to waste, he eventually used it as he grew the business... It was either hand the money to the IRS for nothing or buy equipment that he would use at a later date...

I bet you that they won’t highlight that he received $0 for being the President.
He did it for free, and donated his checks
They are going to show President Trump is a stable genius paying 0% in taxes
If there was anything wouldn’t Obama’s weaponized IRS have found something years ago?
The Persecution of Trump ....
.... is just stunning.
This fight ... is really going to be played out by OUR MEDIA...
The Bannons and the Tuckers and the NYPosts of this world either pummel the Democrats Lies ... or the Nation continues to feed on MSM lies.
Liberals and faggots think this is a win. I hope that it shows he paid zero in taxes. Taxation is theft. I want everyone to pay no federal tax.
Cue the dearth of NYT and WP leK stories....
The US govt is useless. Let's see Hunter's Tax returns.
They could have done this literally at any time. Do you really think if the IRS had tax dirt on Trump it wouldn't have already been wall to wall news reels?

Biden already released his when he ran
To be fair here, Trump did say he would release his taxes when he was elected and never did. Even Clinton and Obama released theirs, not really a good look for Don.
WaPo will be publishing them within 24 hours.
Never direct me to CNN ever again. We all know what they have. It's disgusting they did what they did. Fucking USSA and getting worst. Fuck the GOP, we need a 3rd party. Don't care if we all lose at first. Time to clean GOP out. We can't have it then you can't either. Guys they are both cheating!!!
Now do Clinton and Obama.
If they can throw the book at anyone geo fenced “out side” the capital building on j6 they can manipulate anything. Remember ,perception is reality to normies.
Welcome to guilty until your reputation gets destroyed from being investigated without cause for a decade.
This is beyond criminal, it's tyrannical.
Didn’t we do this already?
Geraldo received permission to open the safe, stand by
Lets see nancy pelosi’s tax returns.
👍
Communist News Network, really?
What probable cause did they have to request such documents? Unreasonable search and seizure.
No one cares, if they were problematic they would have leaked many years ago, or during any of baseless investigations into him.
Am I the only one who knows he obviously uses loopholes like any smart person with money and also don't care? Everyone should do everything they can to pay less taxes.
What sort of retards report illegal earnings to the IRS? What the fuck do they imagine that they're going to find?
Unsticky cnn now!!
All politicians tax returns should be public.
This.
LEAK in 3, 2, 1
fucking absurd the lengths they're going to because they are so afraid of him. insanity. this should've never been allowed to happen
I figured that already had them, but they had to make this big show so Joe public would they just got them and now they found xyz and Trump must be brought to "justice"... He didn't get his money from books deals, he earned his in the real world... But I am hoping I am wrong and find nothing they can twist and he paid more that due.
