Pulitzer-winning journalist says Trump “thinks he’s a dictator” as IRS misses tax return deadline

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Cay Johnston said that President Donald Trump was a dictator in the making, after the IRS missed a second House committee deadline to hand over Trump's tax returns.

“They can play this game for a while, but not very long,” Johnston told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Tuesday evening after the deadline passed, saying the Treasury Department would now use the letter of the law to delay what will eventually become a legal fight in the courts. “What you're seeing is a dictator in the making,” Johnston told Cuomo, later adding: “Donald doesn't know what's in the Constitution, he thinks he's a dictator, and he's moving to turn this country into a Trump dictatorship.”

“The president won fairly and squarely. He is the president, and no one cares about ridiculous charges about tax returns and all types of other things Democrats are doubling down on today.”

Liberal journalists thinks? OKAY

Yeah that sounds like an unbiased objective journalist.

'Dictator', like so many words in the Libese language, translates into English as 'someone Libbies don't like.'

Who would have thunk it? I was sure that as soon as Komrade Trumpski was elected god emperor of the Republic he would have the IRS expedite his tax audit. Remember, Only the best people!

Pulitzer-winning journalist says Trump “thinks he’s a dictator” as IRS misses tax return deadlineDavid Cay Johnston told CNN’s Chris Cuomo the Trump administration does not believe Congress has an oversight function. NO, THIER NO LEGAL WHY THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO SEE HIS RETURNS OTHER THAN GET RID OF TRUMP TO COVER UP THE CRIMES CLINTON MADE WHEN SHE WAS FIRST LADY AND SECERATORY OF STATE. So so true. If he dictates what he wants and doesn’t follow laws, doesn’t that make him a dictator in fact?

IRS fails to meet congressional deadline to hand over Trump tax returnsThe outcome, which was widely expected, could prompt House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal to subpoena Trump's tax records as the opening salvo to a legal fight that may ultimately have to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court. Neal set a final 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) deadline for the Good. Because if the IRS had turned them over, they would have been breaking the law. Why do liberals get so passionate about the most stupid shit? Seriously...who the f&ck cares about his taxes...WHO? Let me tell you who...IDIOTS...that's who. contempt of congress....

This Republican thinks Democrats should force a vote on TrumpDonald Trump is being largely supported by the GOP establishment following the release of the redacted Mueller report. Joy Reid and her panel discuss whether Democrats should push for impeachment despite the GOP controlling the Senate. Shocker. They’re way too far in that hole to pull out now. If defending America or even thier own sense of shame we’re going to cause any of them to act, they’d have done it a year ago. GOP should take this opportunity to ditch Trump and save their souls. If ever there were an excuse.

Mitt Romney calls out Trump and Trump pushes backPres. Trump lashed out at Sen. Romney on Twitter after the senator said: “I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President.” (corrects link) I thought Trump had said for years he'd be happy to show his tax returns but can't because he's under audit. This subpoena would get around the audit issue, so shouldn't trump be supporting the subpoena if he really has nothing to hide? Imagine a political party that not only establishes and continues the worst of corruptions, but disallows any sign of honesty in its ranks. Is trump antisocial yet?
