The IRS could be forced to release Trump’s taxes in the heat of 2020

President Donald Trump’s bet that it’ll take years to resolve a coming court fight over his tax returns could be wrong.

It would also be ironic because Trump once criticized former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for releasing his own tax returns too close to the 2012 elections. the administration has an obvious incentive to try to run out the clock. Not only might Republicans retake the House in next year's elections, allowing them to quash a suit. Trump will also either be in his second term, when it will matter less, or he will have been voted out of office.

Treasury's Mnuchin digs in on Trump's taxes, shrugging off draft IRS legal analysisTreasury Sec. Steven Mnuchin digs in on refusal to release Pres. Trump’s tax returns, shrugging off questions about a draft legal analysis by the IRS that undercuts the administration's official position on the matter. DEMONRATs!

Fine him and put him in JAIL. RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff There's a reason that we were setup with 3 branches of government. One cannot simply overrule the other.

Mnuchin says it’s illegal for him to turn over Trump’s tax returns, despite IRS memoTreasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said it would be “unlawful” to give President Trump’s tax returns to Congress and asserted that a confidential IRS draft memo revealed on Tuesday didn’t contradict him. Democrats can thank kamalia Harris for letting mnuchin slide during his one west scandal while she was AG in California. Now he’s in DC. Great job 👍🏾 Isn’t he too busy mis-using funds to be trusted with such an important decision? Mnuchin don’t you and your wife have a plane to catch that we all paid for? The county's being run by 'memoes'. WTF?

Mnuchin dismisses IRS memo saying Congress must be given Trump's tax returnsTreasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin dismissed an internal IRS memo concluding it is 'mandatory' for the IRS to turn over President Trump's tax returns unless the president invokes executive privilege 'Even worse,' says one disgruntled IRS employee, 'When he walks into the office he makes us all sing 'We Welcome You to Mnuchin Land.' I'd have spoken out before but he threatened to revoke my membership in The Lollipop Guild.' How could executive privilege work ? There’s no policy debate about his tax returns . Sorry but the Treasury is NOT a Legislative Nor Judicial body. They neither Make Nor Interpret law. Justice and Treasury are part of Admin. Admin does the mundane day to day work.
