Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) signaled Thursday that Democrats would pursue getting President Trump's tax returns, arguing that Americans "overwhelmingly" support Congress reviewing the returns.

Asked by reporters during a press conference about whether she finds it important to obtain Trump's taxes, Pelosi said that voters indicated strong support for investigating the president's finances.

"I think overwhelmingly the public wants to see the president's tax returns," Pelosi told reporters. "They want to know the truth. They want to know the facts. And he has nothing to hide."

Proof she is both a liar and a fool.

Americans might overwhelmingly want to see the final season of "Game of Thrones" or nude photos of the Belos girlfriend,but there is something wrong with you if you get all excited over tax returns.

ESPECIALLY when you know they aren't going to find anything but allegations. It ain't like Trump fills them out sitting at his kitchen table. He pays professional accounting firms big bucks to keep this stuff straight.

They know Trump is probably the most audited guy in the country. They just want the juicy little embarrassing (and legal) tidbits to leak out.

I imagine its much the same for Pelosi, only more so since theres been decades of collectivist claptrap coming from that very wealthy woman.

Yes. About 70% of Democrat voters say that.

Leftists in general and Pelosi in particular always pretend or presume to 'speak for the people'. Since they consider themselves to be intellectual gods who are infallible, of course everyone agrees with everything they believe and say.

That's why the Left constantly uses phrases like, 'That is not who WE are as a people.' simply assuming that they are the ones who define what America is supposed to be and what "most Americans" want.

Pelosi is especially guilty of this. Not only does she speak 'for the people', she also speaks for God. She fully believes that if Jesus was on Earth today, not only would he be a Liberal Democrat but he would also work with her as a staffer.

Who says Democrats are delusional crazy people?

I want to see the financial disclosure statements and tax returns of everyone in Congress who became wealthy while "serving the public" in office.

"Became wealthy" is putting it mildly. Most of Congress are 10s of millionaires. And that is only what they disclose. Who knows how many 10s of millions they have stashed away off the books.

Just in my lifetime 'government service' has changed from being a duty of sorts, into winning the lottery. Federal Government workers, make one third up to double the salary for the same job in the private 'real' economy, and it takes an Act of Congress to get fired. That's why there is so much nepotism. Get a Federal job and you'll never be poor for the rest of your life.

I used to always hear liberals that, whenever elections didn’t go their way, would say  Americans were voting against their own self interest.  Whenever I’ve heard that, I would ask them how they would know what every Americans personal self interest was?

I want something life changing, let's have all the Congress critters be forced to release their tax returns, for every year from the time they were elected. I think maybe America would be interested to know how so many of them became multi multi millionaires on their salaries doing things that would be illegal for all the little people they represent.

I thought he should release his tax returns before his election... since it was accepted protocol.  Now.... after two years and counting of the endless bashing, sniping, and hunting for ANYthing the idiot left can use against him, I have changed my mind about this issue.  Eff em.  Let the damned lefties/Democrats all collectively hold their fetid breaths for that "release" of his tax returns.   It would be a much-needed breath of fresh air for America for these azzholes to do that.   :smokin:

But that's not what is going to happen.  The rats are now going to get Trump's taxes and they are going to reveal it in the worst possible light.

To the best of my knowledge there is nothing in the Constitution that mandates a president turn over their tax return. 

IMHO there is absolutely no benefit to the American public for him to do so.  Didn't Rachael Madow already get his tax return only to find that it revealed absolutely nothing of concern??

Constitution?  What is that gibberish?  Whatever it is, it looks like the rats don't need to get it from Trump.

Only one Democrat on Capitol Hill -- chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Richard Neal -- has the power to request the return under the law. And even if he gets them, he doesn't unilaterally have the power to make them public without a vote of his committee. But, Neal has said he plans to ask for them. When exactly he will make that move is still under discussion.

You mean... they are going to illegally obtain his tax returns and then release them to the public?  Isn't that ...

illegal?  (sarc tag alert)

Absolutely not.  The rats will legally obtain Trump's tax return and then release them illegally to the public.

@Sanguine

It would be more interesting to see her husbands tax returns. For one thing,he was the chief legal counsel for NORINCO,the major Chinese firearms manufacturer that the BATF were going to raid and arrest all the execs after finding proof they were selling full-auto AK's to smuggling crews and to street gangs. The BATF had to brief a Senate Committee that Pelosi chaired the day before the raid,and mysteriously enough,every one of the Chinese Norinco executives flew out of the county that same day and were no longer available for arrest.

Go figure.

@txradioguy

More interesting would be to see 10 years of her husbands' tax returns. He is the guy that used to be the Chief Legal Counsel in the US for the Chinese Arms Manufacturer "NORINCO". You know,the guys that were importing the AK's into the country that his wife loved to wave around at press conferences and demand they be banned.

The BATF was set up to raid NORNINCO offices and warehouses at Long Beach the day after they briefed a Senate Committee that she chaired. They were required by law to brief that committee before taking any legal actions against Norinco,so they did,and said they were ready to raid it the next morning and already had the arrest warrants for all the officials.

Oddly enough EVERY NORINCO official in the nation flew out of America that very same day,and none have been back since to be arrested. The BATF found the machine guns they had agreed to sell to drug smugglers and street gangs,as well as the ammunition,but there were no humans there.

Hmmmm,I wonder who tipped them off about the raid?

He's tied to NORINCO...they have their winery in the Napa Valley plus he funds her campaigns.  She really shouldn't be so eager for tax returns to start seeing the light of day.

I may be wrong,but I think he is an actual partner in Norinco USA,Inc. If not,he is at a minimum the Chief Legal Consuel.
