Dems Quietly Plan to Review and Release Trump's Taxes
MSN, Sep 29, 2018, Newsweek

Democrats on Capitol Hill seem to be quietly preparing to examine President Donald Trump’s tax returns, which he refused to release on the 2016 campaign trail, and publicly release portions of them. But only if their party regains control of the House or Senate after the midterm elections. 

Using a nearly 100-year-old statute, Democrats plan to use the little-known measure to legally obtain the president’s past tax filings without his permission. Created in 1924 as a provision under the Internal Revenue Code, the law states the U.S. Treasury Department “shall” turn over “any return or return information” requested by the chairmen of the House and Senate tax committees, in addition to Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation, for lawmakers to see.

Those tax committees include the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee.

Democratic Representative Lloyd Doggett of Texas, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, told Politico the best approach to using the statute would be to “get all of [Trump’s filings], review it and, depending on what that shows, release all or part of it.”

Wow.  Democrats must be getting punch drunk.....they're coming perilously close to transparency.

After last weeks shit, I really need to get away for a week at the lake and have it out with the fish population.

I hear ya. I need to tune out of the politics for a week. I've never been so angry in my life. Just when I've calmed down, I read some ignorant Kavanaugh conspiracy theory on Twitter and I am curious again. The latest theory I read is that "Devil's Triangle" doesn't refer to a drinking game.

I figured it meant Hilary's pubic area.

Normal people don't like this kind of vindictive crap.

You're right. A good indicator of how the public looks at this garbage is how liberal acquaintances are not talking about it, except with other liberals. The whole thing stinks.

And Lloyd Doggett is about as low as you can go!

[Sanguine]

They really are panicked, thinking that they are so close to achieving their goal and being stymied, at least temporarily.

I call them for who and what they are:
democrat-communists.

If you, the good folks of this forum, think the same of them as do I, why don't you call a spade a spade and name them for who they really are?

   This azzhole is my Rep, his district is so gerrymandered that he will be there till he dies, just like SJL's district.
   With that being said, Trump's Tax Returns are his Achilles heel, I have no doubt.

[Frank Cannon]

All the MSM can do is pump out these shit pieces to try and gin up their base. Looks like they are not so confident about this red wave bullshit.
