Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett said Tuesday that IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin should be jailed or fined for stonewalling congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s tax returns.

Doggett, D-Texas, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Tuesday that congressional Democrats need to employ what's known as "inherent contempt" for Trump officials defying committee requests and subpoenas for Trump’s financial information.

“I believe that there is no legal advice that will stop the lawlessness and lies of this administration, and that is why Congress needs to act firmly now to use every tool it has available to get this information that Trump so fears that the public will see,” Doggett told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tuesday night.

The question is, will Lloyd Doggett turn over all his tax returns?
Why don't all the Dems 'set the example' and all of them release their tax returns.
Of course we all know that will never ever never happen.
It would be very interesting to know how almost everyone in Congress, and in government jobs in general suddenly become multimillionaires after only a few years.
I hope this whole scam backfires on them.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Exactly! and Pelosi, Schumer, and Waters too.

Where in the Constitution does it state that a President must turn over his tax return??  On what legal basis is there for Trump to have to turn over his tax returns?
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
