Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, in a letter Monday, denied House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal's request for President Trump's tax returns, saying the request lacked a “legitimate legislative purpose.”
“As you have recognized, the Committee’s request is unprecedented, and it presents serious constitutional questions, the resolution of which may have lasting consequences for all taxpayers,” the letter read.
Mnuchin told the Massachusetts Democrat he'd relied on the advice of the Justice Department. He concluded that the department was “not authorized to disclose the requested returns and return information.”

ReplyDeleteSO much for checks and balances and an equal branch of government
ReplyDelete10:42 Why do you say that? You do know it’s not required for any President to show his tax returns. I find it funny you are so so worried about checks and balances but I bet you never once questioned anything about the Clinton Foundation. Please..your concern is bullshit and you are a hypocrite.

ReplyDeleteWhat the hell do someone's tax returns have to do with government as long as the proper tax is paid. Do you want everyone to look at yours?
It's good to see these fishing expeditions put in their right place, the trash. Voters need to see the waste of resources by the House Dems and remember what Dem congressional control got them, or, rather, stole from them.
ReplyDelete10:42 - that is such an idiotic statement. There is no requirement for a sitting President to provide any tax information. Equal branch of government? Are you kidding. Why don't you ask to see Pelosi's Taxes or Mad Maxine's taxes because I would like to know how a career political crook can be a millionaire working in government....
ReplyDeleteLet's see PELOSI'S / SCHUMER'S / SCHIFF'S / & ALL
ReplyDeletethe other Criminal Demon-crat's FIRST !!!!!
The Constitution states that the Congressional committee has the right to request and the that IRS , SHALL provide . SHALL is crystal clear .
ReplyDeleteYou Trump supporters, wait until the situation has changed, and it will. The law has to work both ways
The Constitution states no such thing. Shows how brilliant you are, huh?
Delete9:28 “The law has to work both ways”. Bahahaha I spit my coffee out when I read that. Actually boss the law does work both ways. It’s you Dems that go all out crazy when the tables get turned. You might want to take off those blinders you’ve got on 😂😂
DeleteThe first two years, Trump let the House have their way, because he KNEW he did nothing wrong. Now the gloves are off. No more cooperating. Now he is going to show them the equally powerful executive branch of government. Go Trump! The House is only one half of one third of the government. They do not rule over the executive branch. The constitution and the courts are on his side.
