The committee will decide on Tuesday whether to release Trump's tax returns publicly after years spent trying to obtain them. The six years' worth of returns may be partially or fully disclosed depending on the results of the meeting.

Only 15 days left for the Democrats to illegally leak all his tax info to the press.

This is only true if McCarthy wins the Speakership on Jan 3.  Otherwise, all bets are off.

House Ways and Means Committee votes to release Trump's tax returns
CBS, Dec 20, 2022

...six years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns will be released by the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee, which voted 24-16 on Tuesday to release the years of tax records Trump has has long tried to shield.

The vote was along party lines.

After a years-long legal battle, the Supreme Court cleared the way last month for the Treasury Department to send the returns to Congress. The committee received six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses. Democrats are under pressure to act quickly, since only two weeks remain until Republicans take control of the House of Representatives.

Did the court say Congress could release them?

They (the DC Appellate Court) acknowledged the possibility of that occurring.  But they did not give their permission.

If there was anything incriminating in his tax returns it would have been known years ago.

All that's going to happen now is a bunch of people publicly misrepresenting what the tax returns reveal. The vast majority of people in this country can't read, let alone understand, an itemized return.

What's going to happen is that a private citizen is going to have his legal right of confidentiality stripped away by a tyrannical government entity in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Well if you're going to point out the big overarching consequence of this action, I'm going to have to agree with you!

Everytime I start getting put off with Trump (the NFT trading cards was the last thing and Fuentes just before it) the establishment finds another way to persecute him and I find I will support him. I can't stand corrupt institutions!

Same here.

Why do I feel they will just be "leaked" to someone at the Post or NY Times?

Like someone said, they'll overreact against Trump, turn him into a martyr, and get him elected again. They can't help themselves.
