Republicans warn Trump tax request 'sets a dangerous standard'

Congressional Republicans on Thursday criticized efforts by House Democrats to obtain President Donald Trump's tax returns with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy warning that the request"sets a dangerous standard of having the federal government used as a political weapon" and dismissing the move as"a waste of time."

McCarthy reacted during his weekly news conference to the news that House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal has now formally requested the President's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service by accusing the committee of having"voted yesterday to weaponize the IRS to attack political opponents.""Not only is it a waste of time, it sets a dangerous standard of having the federal government used as a political weapon," McCarthy warned.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn I don't care

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn No

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn we could care less about Trumps tax returns-if IRS doesn't have a problem with them neither should we

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn In Castro's case, it'll be very simple to pull those 1040EZ forms out of a kitchen drawer. Big deal!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn WHO cares how many years of tax returns he releases? This can be nothing more than an orchestrated sound byte cooked up by cnn, to try and keep the chatter going about Trump's wise decision. Who will they ask next? Pocahontas?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Who cares we want to know what you can and will do to help the american family

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Like we care!!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn No Go f thyself.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn No one cares about you! I want to see SpeakerPelosi chuckschumer and other career politicians!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn I don't think its any of your business just like all of you do not think your personal business is anyone else's business! I also think were all sick & tired of hearing reading listening to your obnoxious insistence on repetitive aggravating torment! ibrats!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Who gives. Rats ass about taxes good grief.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Everyone should reveal tax returns when an SSBI investigation for TS-SCI clearance and sensitive compartmented information access is required! Some agencies require that a lie detector test be given before allowing access, should be required by ALL elected officials to take one!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Why is this such a talking point? I really could care less about anyone in governments Tax Returns.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Release 100 years if you want no one cares.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Glad that Trump is not releasing.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Need the returns of the people in Congress now...

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Why? Who cares? And if they say they care is because they are mimicking MSM

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Candidate...

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn I don’t care about his tax returns.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn No ones business but his. Can't get him on collusion so go back to the start and hound him about taxes again. Poor pathetic losers. POTUS

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Whatever. Hey, the President is in California!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn I want to see Waters, Shiff, Pelosi, can I?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Who gives a shit. He will nv b elected anyway. CNN sucks.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn And why is that What is so important that congress should use OUR time in this stupidity? Keep wasting our money and our time. Anybody that wants to release their tax return, please do so, you only want Trump’s taxes to fish for something to get the guy

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Have you made any MONEY? Other than what you STOLE!! from the goverment ?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Who cares. Keep ur tax returns

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Provide tax returns for every Congress member. Let's make it fair. We are especially interested in members that were not millionaires before being elected.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Are you releasing them because you want to or the law requires you? (I'll give you a hint Julian: You are not required to by law. There is no law that states you have to release them. Thus if you think you are 'being a hero' guess what? You're not. You're just pandering)

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in Trump's tax returns and neither should you.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn If Trump releases his tax records it will make you cry over your returns

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Nope... I believe ALL TAX RETURNS ARE PRIVATE.... However, I am more interested in the returns of politicians who became millionaires than the tax return of a billionaire who became a politician....

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Why is this a campaign issue? Because then you don’t have to tell us what you will do if elected

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Re federal government should not have to waste money because CNN wants them to just so they can try and bash trump .how much money a person has has no bearing on the policy's they write how does this matter at all ? Maybe CNN should release its earnings reports on tragedies?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Americans should know they were accurate....period

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Maybe NONE of the dem candidates should release their taxes at all and wait for the republicans’ response.....

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Well goof for you Julian......but we don;t care about your tax returns......Show us the ones of the politicians who have become very wealthy on our tax dollars

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn He doesn't pay income taxes and he probably collects social security and gets a tax refund every year. I do the same thing because I have an llc. Learn the tax rules idiots. If the left doesn't like it then they should try to actually pass legislation instead of wasting time

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Seriously, you’re a nobody. Who cares about your taxes.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn And no one cares

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Nothing in the Mueller report.... hey let’s go back to that Trump tax thing. We can get some mileage out of that.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Why? Why do we need to see candidates tax returns?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn If you're elected to the United States Senate, Congress, or Executive Branch, then you should release 5 years of tax returns. Only fair, isn't it Anything else would be (gasp) a witch hunt, right?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn The American People don't give a damn about seeing the Presidents tax returns. Instead they like what he's doing for our country. The DO NOTHING Dems, are pissing the people off.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Why?

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Blah Blah Blah Blah

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Please look at 20 years of trump returns to get the big picture regarding how corrupt bone spur actually is.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn It’s none of our business! If that’s the case, all politicians and spouses tax returns should be public knowledge not just the president.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn People act like this is the gold standard. Career politicians don’t make the big bucks till after they leave office and work in the private sector. This is why most are willing to release them.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Broke ass bum 😂😂😂

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn States need to make it a requirement. Ten years of tax returns or no primary, no debates.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Americans can’t figure out their own taxes. And I’ll bet Castro doesn’t do his!What would the American People do with the thousands of pages Trumps tax returns look like? Congress can’t find their way out of each other’s way! Fix the border - enough of Trumps taxes!!! FoxNews

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn I don't care about your tax returns...I want to know how politicians enter as regular Joes and end up multimillionaires.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn To ever person calling to see Trumps tax returns. Post your's on social media. Especially millionaire politicians that became millionaires while in office. Show us where the millons came from.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn 😂 BREAKING NEWS JEFF BEZOS HAS OFFERED CNN TO PURCHASE CNN FOR 125.00$ and in light of rating drop Turner is seriously considering the offer but insists he must seek approval from the DNC first.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Not sure why anyone cares about tax returns. Feels like another democrat fishing story. What a day it would be if Democrats actually focused on America!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn nobody cares about tax returns. Ask the average American if they even understand what is in a tax return. This is just getting stupid!

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn What a mook.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Don’t care about ur taxes. Democrats R a Compleyely Useless Party

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn You could release every tax return you ever filed and it wouldn't matter ... you're not going to be the nominee, let alone President.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Why? If YOU demand it set the example, everyone in office should pony up. Get every Congressman to show theirs....we demand it.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn LOL

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn absolutely noone, other then Dems & leftists, care at all about tax returns.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Aaaaaand we're back to the tax returns again. *yawn*

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn The earth is the Lord's and all that it contains and all the fulness thereof and it serves Him with gladness and that includes the tax forms. Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar 's and to God the things that are God's.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Good afternoon to everyone.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Oh, goodie for you. 😂

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn This one is so hilarious. The Democrats simply cannot stop trying to relitigate the 2016 election. Too funny. That said, Briana is hot.

JulianCastro brikeilarcnn Who cares we want the presidents now first! Idiots
