By Washington Post Staff April 10 at 6:50 PM Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin denied House Democrats’ demand to release six years of President Trump’s tax returns, saying the department could not complete its review in time for Democrats’ Wednesday deadline.

In a letter, Mnuchin said Treasury would consult with the Justice Department to review the request. The letter also noted several GOP criticisms of Democrats’ request, including accusations that the push for Trump’s tax returns was politically motivated.

Stop fucking around and aend the paperwork

hey folks, this should read 'treasury violates the law by not turning over trump's taxes.' You guys should either hire better editors or just change your slogan to 'Democracy dies in bullshit headlines from an oligarch-owned fish wrapper'

Denial not an option

So they are going against the constitution. Congress needs to use its contempt of Congress power with these clowns.

Given how long Trump's audit has been going on (and the fact that the IRS is supposed to audit presidents annually), RepRichardNeal and WaysMeansCmte should consider investigating the IRS itself to insure that their audits of Trump are being conducted properly and objectively

Wasn’t a request

He’s doing a fabulous job of ripping our government institutions apart. Those of us with very low expectations are not disappointed. God knows what the rest of the world thinks of this unseemly game of keep-away.

It was a demand under 26 USC 6103(f). There's nothing permissive about the request. The IRS shall turn over the information. This is Trumpworld trying to abrogate the rule of law to protect Trump from scrutiny.

SpeakerPelosi RepMaxineWaters ARREST MNUCHIN!

'Request'? C'mon!

Time for gloves to come off, SpeakerPelosi

Contempt of Congress charge forthcoming..

TRUMP NOW HAS TAKEN OVER OUR GOVERNMRNT FROM WITHIN AND NOW SERV3S AS DISTATOR WITHOUT ANYONE TO HOKE HOM SCCOUNTSBLE!!! SAD!! OUR NATION IS GOING AWAY!!!

smh

IRS, if you are listening, please release the last 10 years of Donald Trump's tax returns.

stevenmnuchin1 is going to prison

alvinebks The law is the law, turn them over.

I think I read this in a play once. Next the Senate kills Cesar and his greatest ally Jared Kushner stabs him last and his says... MakeAmericaGreatAgain

It's not a request. It's a law. And Retting is required BY LAW to give over the tax returns. Mnuchin has zero business getting involved at all. Rettig should be held accountable by whatever is appropriate for breaking this LAW.

So stupid.

Do we really have a CONGRESS ?

Shall (3) expressing an instruction or command. However, one of the most litigated words in law...

That's the law...

Poor babies

In view of trumpification of DOJ this is a waste of time, a diversion. gtconway3d BillKristol rickwtyler JoeNBC

I absolutely love this!

This Really appears to show the decline of our democratic institutions since this administration. I hope that both realize it is important to treat our institutions as they are: publicly funded, accountable to the people.

Law is pretty clear. Don't people care about laws?

This is an entire administration moving to obstruct justice for a criminal president!

No one saw this coming. Wake up we have a dictatorship.

Collusion didn’t pan out so now we are back to tax returns? Can we expect a reappearance of Stormy Daniels too? How far will the media go backing up the democrat party talking points? Far enough to completely destroy your credibility?

Dictatorship. This is an Authoritarian State GOP realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC USTreasury senatemajldr TheJusticeDept

*U.S. Department of theTreasury refuses to comply with legal order. There, I fixed it for you.

Barr can go over them and prepare a “report”

Finally, part of the US government that's got some moral backbone.

Been saying this for awhile, half the country has become willingly and gleefully ignorant and blind to what’s going on because they now have a cult of people who make them feel good about being shitty humans. We have been taken hostage by racist fucking morons.

This administration is breaking laws out in the open. We are no longer a democracy.

In less than 3 years realDonaldTrump and the GOP have destroyed our democracy. Nothing matters anymore. Laws and our Constitution n longer apply to these corrupt power hungry greedy criminals. We must overwhelmingly vote them all out of every office we can so they can’t cheat.

HAHAHAHAHA

Treasury meaning mnuchin who was not asked for any intervention. Interference for and with trump ! 🤬🤥

Wait? Why are they hiding his tax information?

UNSEATpac The Treasury IS NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW?

Does the law say they must comply with a timeframe? If not this “conference” might last 6 years.

It’s our treasury, not his nor the Justice Department‘s. It’s a reasonable request by the people at whose behest he serves. He doesn’t rule us and make his own rules.

Treasury is not complying with the law. The House should take swift, decisive action to enforce the law since the DOJ has become a Trump lapdog.

ShallMeansShall LockMnuchinUp LockRettigUp

Blatantly illegal.

Arrest Treasury. It just broke the law

“The Treasury Dept breaks law.” Fixed it!

😡😡😡

Because Justice needs to tell you that you are required to hand them over!!

Whatever. Go after something really important, like Trump's citizenship.

Looks like I was Right When I said Seats on the Supreme Court must be Expanded by Democrats at the First Opportunity.The Gop has Abandoned the Law and Constitution to protect a Treasonist Criminal.

Isn’t that interference with the IRS?

The 'legislative purpose' is proven invalid by the broad nature of the requests, therefore 'shall' becomes 'shall not' with an added 'fuck you' for good measure. The Constitution applies to Congress too.

THIS CORRUPT SCUM ADMIN. THINKS THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. AND THEY’RE GETTING AWAY WITH IT. AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS FADING AWAY. WHILE DECENT AMERICANS “WATCH” !!

Illegal. Wrong answer!

There is nothing to confer about. The law is clear. The word 'shall' has a very specific legal meaning. It does not mean 'if my boss says OK' or 'when I get around to it'. It means 'you will comply'.

👍🏼

Will the Republican Party finally understand that their beloved Orange Idiot does not love the Party or America ❗️

So it’s ok to just disregard our Constitution and watch the Republicans support this? Makes me sick!

Collusion

Authoritarian state when the government doesn’t follow its own laws.

MtnManMT6 I say SUBPOENA THEM!! And if they still refuse arrest Mnuchin and hold him in contempt!!!!

What does the left expect to find from the tax returns? Seriously

pattmlatimes gopcrimefamily at it again. trumpcoverup

For the low, low cost of $1M a week, I can fix your headlines too

Here we go to court again. The law is clearly on the side of the House Ways and Means Committee. It's not a smart move by the Treasury.

'Treasury Secretary Breaks The Law' Fixed Headlines

Again Trump administration is ignoring the rule of law!

I'm pretty sure it was an order not a request...

It's the House Committee on Ways And Means NOT the Democrats that are asking for the tax returns. The committee consists of both parties. Congress request, Senate requests, FBI requests, Judiciary Committee requests, DOJ requests ... get the point.

Re-write the headline and social post to reflect the truth, please.

There’s nothing to “confer” about. It’s the law!

'Request'? Darlin' babies...it wasn't 'a request'.

Time for the US Marshals to start taking Cabinet members downtown for a visit.

ThinkOneWorld The DOJ should take this as a warning. If our government breaks the law the people will likewise be emboldened to break the law. Just like there has been a huge spike in racist acts since trump showed himself a racist. Do not break the law.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Congress had better start flexing some real muscle. This Administration stopped playing by 'the rules' from jumpstreet. This must be fought in the trenches!

Do you mean trumps justice department

Literally breaking the law. If Trump directed this than it is an impeachable offense. How many is he up to now?

IT WASN'T A REQUEST 😡

Go to jail instead. No justice department

bought off?

SUBPOENA. Stop delaying! Enough is enough

Shall legally means must. Not a request. Now it’s subpoenas.

Will they be conferring with the DOJ again when they receive criminal referrals from Congress for violating the law for obstructing the release of Trump's taxes?

Lawless administration

JohnCornyn tedcruz RepKevinBrady this is criminal. You should be demanding that treasury release Trumps tax returns. He is a criminal and you know this. Now you own it because of your refusal to do anything about it. Do what’s right for your country and NOT your party.

SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer RepAdamSchiff Arrest them!!!!!

In this context, “Justice” should be in quotation marks.

In the fina analysis, it’ll be refreshing to see 45 take down these lackeys with him.. right before abandoning them, as he often does.

The USA is no longer, in actuality, a country of laws.

It was not a 'request.'

Time to sue Treasury and seek punitive damages for actively subverting the law and obstruction of justice.

Is the treasurer on Trumps payroll too?

Please lock mnudouchin up

Anyone else think we are almost at pitchfork time?

This charade is unbelievable. If the shoe were reversed ratbastard Rethuglicans would get it. 'Murica SUX.

That’s illegal

Treasury decided to break the law to hide trump’s taxes. Said he would confer with another trump stooge. There I fixed it for you.

I mean, if the democrats had balls, they'd show up with the US Marshalls at the IRS office with a subpoena and take them, it's a 90 year old law simple and they've got the right

DEMs will never them, Trump wins again go TRUMP

Sadly, US Code only applies to Dems.

Fuck it, send a subpoena to treasury and one to new york state, who also have his tax returns as part of filing his state taxes. New York will gladly give them up

ResistingYogi Not Treasury problem. Belongs solely to IRS who SHALL provide...

Not looking very innocent!

Our entire government is corrupt and engaged in a cover up

Mnuchin can be held in Contempt of Congress and be detained in jail. But they won’t do that...

THAT'S ILLEGAL ARREST THEM ALL!! BRING IN THE MILITARY WE ARE WAY PAST CRISIS!

This is silly. If trump if forced to give them up, Republicans will soon go after every Dems tax records. Why not? If you open the floodgates, it's going to get ugly

“Treasury violates law mandating that tax returns be provided to House committees on request.” There, I fixed it for you.

No. MNUCHIN denies request therefore breaking the law. Lock him up. He is not above the law. He thinks he is.

Lock him up!

It wasn't a request.

HouseDemocrats Your move

It appears that, Barr+Mnuchin wants 2 play politics w the Mueller report+Trump's tax returns until 2020 primaries.Every presidential candidate should provide their tax returns. If not,we shouldn't provide our votes. Barr should release full SC report. If not, get him outta there

You know who their boss is. By the time 45 is finished, he would have brought down most institutions to his level!

Constitutional. Crisis.

So we don't have to obey the law anymore?

If they had a subpoena he should be in jail.

This isnt a request. They have a statutory right to get the returns and it should be reported as such.

Subpoena. Now.

Don't you mean 'Congress's request'?

Contempt of Congress. Send in a Federal Marshal with a subpoena. Grab Trump's tax documents and arrest those in contempt. Period!

Russia if you are listening ................................our media will reward you dearly for Donald Trump's Tax returns

The most corrupt Russian administration in American history!

The law does not apply to KING TRUMP😡

What’s in the tax returns that all these people are bending over backwards not to let Americans know what’s in them. I wonder

Why?

Who gets to decide if trump’s puppet stevenmnuchin1 has to obey the law? None other than trump’s puppet law enforcer BillBarr naturally.

Oh hell no. “Shall” means “shall”. They are breaking the law. LOCK THEM UP!

It is the LAW [infinite reverb]

Lets make a deal, lets see every tax return of every DC elected official, House and Senate, Executive Branch, and SOTUS (not elected but you get the point). Some real good stuff should be in Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, returns.

If he and his minions can get away with defying this law so blithely, what even more critical laws will he decide to defy? Terrifying!

I think we can classify this as a Constitutional crisis. Call it what it is, and stop saying, 'It can't happen here.' It is happening.

The House should find Mnuchin in contempt and arrest him and keep him detained until the returns are delivered to the Ways and Means Committee. This is the midnight hour. Either Congress is a co-equal branch of government or we're a banana republic where there is no rule of law.

It’s not a request...

OccupyDC ✊

The Democrats couldn’t get collusion on Trump. Spied on him while a candidate. Who authorized this? Could you imagine if trump did that to one of the Democrats running for President?

It's a law that says 'shall,' not a 'request.' Haul Mnuchin before the committee and hold him in contempt of Congress if necessary. TrumpTaxReturns

Well it’s clear from all their legal victories that the administration truly understands the law... nope

It’s the law stupid dems. How ignorant can you be?9

This is not “Dems” request. It’s the House Ways and Means Committee.

Talk about a coup..

This is nothing but a ploy to spread more lies about POTUS for the coming election

in a 5-4 decision, scotus chudges affirm the right to financial privacy for the rich but incidentally null the right to personal privacy for poors

that's not a request, wapo. it's a legal obligation.

Contempt of Congress

How about releasing the names of people on Capital Hill using the taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay for their settlements? Shouldn't they be paying for their own misconduct?

“Treasury violates law” — there, i fixed your headline.

Lyin Munchin said he would turn them over When directly asked by Congress

Hey GOP, party of law and the Constitution, am I right? Hypocrites.

No collusion....let’s go for Trumos taxes...lol

Shall means shall

Wow so Mnuchin will confer with Barr Democrats better stop waiting around this is nuts they're not going to abide by any laws Trump is the king to therm

Would not be the first criminal action by Trump's cabinet. It seems to be a running theme with them. Hope we can get back to normal soon.

Um...but the law

Political stunt by Dems shut down because people have rights. ...WitchHunt 2.0 stalling. Reality closing in... Can't believe so many people are doubling down (!)

It’s not just a request. IRS needs to turn over his tax returns as the law prescribes. Now. TrumpTaxes

Good for Treasury.

Oh, we’re gettin’ those returns..

The House committee should be asked what the probable cause evidence is to authorize this request. The President is protected by the 4th Amendment. I think all the amendments of the Constitution are important, but the ones at the top seem to have been a priority to the founders.

The Democrats didn't make the request, it was made by the House of Representatives. The Treasury has no legal or Constitutional right to deny The House. Your headline implies that this is a partisan request and there can be ignored: it isn't and it can't be.

What was the reason they wanted them?

Treasury breaks law and violates their oaths to cater to law breaking POTUS. There. I fixed headline for you

Trumps little leeway it says merely that Treasury secretary “shall” furnish the requested information. It was used several times by House Republicans when they were investigating whether the I.R.S. had improperly delayed applications by conservative groups for nonprofit status

If realDonaldTrump has to release his tax returns we want to see the returns of ALL elected officials from the time they were elected up to the present. And throw in their random drug test results, too. Oh wait, it's only us little people that get drug tested.

WTF!

Mnuchin knows if he did this he would get fired and no more free (taxpayer-paid) trips to Europe for him and his wife.

Wake Up America! The Dictatorship Leader Emperor for Life. The Leader's Son Captain Kushner-Trump Next In line supervises the total destruction of the constitution, democracy, freedom of The press, religion, Baseball. Christian Conservative all moved to Utah wall built.

RepDonBacon RepAdrianSmith JeffFortenberry hold Cabinet members accountable to a Legislative branch acting lawfully. Stop being doormats.

The only line I can see being crossed here is the one where everyone is forgetting who works for whom,, he’s only an employee just like everyone else and like everyone else must prove his contributions to the state, simple !!

No tax returns he shouldn't be allowed to run for re-election.

Good! Why the dems wants to see Donnie’s tax returns? I want to see the ones of mommy Pelosi, Hilary and dummy Ocasio-Cortez-horseface! Please!

Hey, , it wasn't a 'request'!

The realDonaldTrump administration is a disgrace littered with lackeys and likely criminals. What a mess that wounded animal has created. The most dysfunctional President of all time is fighting to cover up a multitude of alleged wrongdoing. Prison time is a deserved possibility

It wasn’t a request. It was a demand according to the Law. If Mnuchin refuses then he Lied to Congress, when he said he would obey the Law.

This is the most lawless bunch of people to ever run our federal government. TheDemocrats must put a stop to this. HouseDemocrats dscc

Confer with Justice? You mean Barr. No doubt he’ll be as unbiased on this issue as he was with the Mueller report. Anybody else sick & tired of living under a dictatorship with a lying, fucking imbecile wearing the crown? We’re at WAR & SpeakerPelosi waved the white flag.../1

Treasury needs more time to 'review the request' and confer with the DOJ? Why? Mnuchin has had the request for days and time's up. 6103 is clear and the DOJ should be considering an action against Mnuchin, not participating in a fix with him. Neither he nor Barr is above the law.

realDonaldTrump thinks he’s above the law. He also says the public is not interested in his taxes. He’s wrong as usual!!! He’s a deadbeat and corrupt!!

Stop this. “Senate votes to confirm Kavanaugh.” “Sweeping tax overhaul clears Congress.” Those were both Republican majority votes that you headlined as “Senate” and “Congress.” This should be headlined similarly.

Off to the courts we go...

Is it legal to do so?

Open the Jail's and federal prisons... Obviously there's no rule of law in the United States.

Confer with the DOJ about what exactly? The law is quite clear: even Trump could read it, although he might not think of himself as a 'person' as stated in the law. Treasury must be hoping that with a 2 week break coming up Dems will forget about it. Right.

First it was taxes, then Russia, then a lull in Russia leaks so back to taxes. Now Russia's collapsed so it's taxes again. Doesn't it get old?

Take it to the Supreme Court!

... and the Democratic response to this decision not to abide by the law? A second letter! 'House Democrats are expected to soon send an second letter to the Treasury Department again requesting the returns' That'll show 'em.

If he broke the law I think the IRS would know and would have done something. After trashing Obama for years I doubt he would have survived scrutiny from Obama's IRS. Dems just trying to weaponize another agency, playing politics, to attack and embarrass Trump.

Everyone in Trump's government is breaking the law and no one seems to care. Why should the rest of us continue to follow the law if it's meaninglessness? They are eroding faith in the law and the government. They will cause the destruction of America if left unchecked.

Lock up the head of the IRS ...........

Not Good, why would they do that, no one taxes are Audited for many years continuously. Something is very wrong.

oufenix Who asked Treas?

So Mnuchin will ask Barr to ask Trump if they have to listen to Congress? We are no longer a democracy.

So arrest him. He violated the law.

Take them to court and get the bloody tax returns. Enough.

64% of Americans want to see Trump's tax returns. He is required by law to do so!

This is perhaps the worst headline in the history of the Post. The Treasury did not announce any such thing. The Secretary announced that he would defy a legally binding order from the United States House of Representatives, thereby willfully creating a Constitutional crisis.

They didn’t comply to the law, are we a full dictatorship now?

Someone show me the law where the American people are entitled to a president’s tax returns. I want to learn.

You keep using partisan labels; how about when ‘Americans request...’

There they go again, weaponizing the IRS.

Tell Munuchin he has until Friday. Then throw him in jail for contempt of Congress.

GeoffRBennett Justice has no legal say. Treasury has no legal say. What the hell is going on in this country!😡

Come on, America. Come on, media. Subpeona the damn tax returns and if they aren't handed over, charge the IRS with obstruction of justice. This really isn't that hard.

Oh, let the salty liberal tears flow.

They will redact the shit out of his returns too.

Arrest Mnuchin ASAP!!!

Lock Mnuchin Uuuuuup!

That’s not how this works. Turn them over.

Do you mean the Justice that Donald Trump hired? Well we probably know how he will respond.

All citizens should go on a tax strike until IQ45 taxes are submitted , his disrespecting the law. Then why pay taxes !? why is he 'special' AOC cnn BetteMidler nytimes Alyssa_Milano KamalaHarris SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi

Russia failed, let's move on to the next desperate attempt to get Republicans to impeach and remove a popular president. 🤣

And so they should. It’s a political witch hunt. DemocratPartyUS rum amuck. smh

The head of the IRS should be brought before Congress and answer the question...is the an active audit of the President’s taxes going on?

JuliaDavisNews makes a very good point about your headlines: 'request' is not accurate.

I guess Congress is no longer a coequal branch.

EricHolder

One, it wasn’t a request. Two, conferring with Justice is just conspiracy to break the law.

I guess if you hire the law you can be above the law

GovHowardDean

SenSchumer

sfpelosi

Good! They have no basis for wanting to see them. His personal tax returns are just that, personal. Presidents do not have to show their taxes, its voluntary.

This is the moment we all knew would come. We have Trump and his cronies flagrantly breaking the law at every turn, threatening lawless violence at the border, with absolutely no concern for consequences. We have reached a tipping point. OccupyDC

Another slap in the face. All that powerful rule of law but contemptibly challenged every step of the way and the Democrats are dazed and confused, not petrified but dazed and confused with all that constitutional claim. All talk, no balls.

During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, I said to my Egyptian friend something like 'that wont happen in the US'. He replied, 'don't be too sure'. F^*k me.

Not a request. 'Shall'

I’m really getting worried that there is no stopping the illegal President. He has put people ( his comrades ) is strategic places and they are loyal only to trump. He will never get caught. He disobeyed any law that gets in his way, they let him. God Bless Amerika

BOOM 💥

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There they go checks and balances.

maurmadden Then put Mnuchin in the slammer!

Well well what a surprise ‼️‼️‼️

Good for them!

How many Constitutional crises do you have to live through? Asking for a friend.

Good! It's none of the socialists' business. If there was ANYTHING untoward in President Trump's tax returns, it already would have been leaked by a leftist in the IRS. Keep alienating non-coastal America!

Now what?

Gee, I wonder what the DOJ will say?

WTAF!

we are so weary of this administration breaking laws on a daily basis.

Privilege card, it gets you in/out of anything anywhere anytime

They need a ruling on the word “shall”

What a surprise..Was Muchen busy taking a government jet to fort knox?

It wasn't a request. For fucks sake get it right!

so in other words, treasury secy and irs commish can’t read.

IRS needs to follow the law, which says they must turn them over, if requested by certain chair or certain committee. Maybe Congress should hold Secretary of Treasury in Contempt of Congress?

„Consult with the Justice Department to review the request“ I‘m sure FatNixon’s new fixer Barr will be happy to help 🙄

What’s to confer How much jail time for not following the law?

So now the DOJ is okay. Got it.

3ChicsPolitico Just go get them!! Let me try not to file.just let me try and see the bs that comes my way. Y’all are making it so clear that there are different rules for different classes. Just fucking stop already!!!

ctyankee007 Every one of those jokers need to be in jail for contempt. I believe the 'requests' came with subpoenas attached. Let one of us be subpoenaed and just say 'Ehh, I'm not inclined to obey that subpoena'. They would have us in jail so fast your head wldnt have time to spin.

America is no longer a country of laws.

What’s he hiding? Must be juicy.

SethAbramson legal

Contempt.

not a request

Riiiight, get Barr to make a neutral decision

What happen to Trump’s pledge 1/24/16 to release his taxes- another false fact!

I suggest we as the American people fcuking don't file taxes then.

he should spend some quality time in jail to reconsider.

So trump stooge at IRS will talk to the trump stooge at justice . can we guess how that ends?

These people who work for Trump don't believe in laws and government policies. Courts will have to get what is needed to find out all the Trump scandals.

And ladies and gentlemen, we have reached a constitutional crisis.

They’ve had time to confer. Shall isn’t debatable.

Get this in the courts! It took the Nixon tapes just four months to go from an early April 1974 subpoena to a late July 1974 SCOTUS vote, 8-0, to turn them over.

NEVER in MY LIFE TIME EXPECT to see another CROOK in WhiteHouse like with NIXION .. WHAT DOES realDonaldTrump have to HIDE My GOD.when he RAN he said he would show them .YOU PEOPLE BETTER START ASKING YOURSELF THAT & he;s LYING about that AUDIT 9500 + this one MSNBC CNN

Again..just like with Nixon..every step forward in prosecuting these Grifters will be a major battle making the Confederate rearguard activity against Shermans Army look like 1st grade recess. And just like Nixon, members of this Admin will get jail time as well.🍊🍕💩

Wowww...🤨

Mnuchin is just begging to be charged with contempt of Congress.

Tell USTREASURY it had time to 'confer' already and turn over the damn tax returns. STOP SHITTIN' US! Send the Washington police over to Treasury and CONFISCATE the damn tax returns! Time to play HARDBALL! stevenmnuchin1 TheDemocrats

When the other 39 presidents and, and all of Congress and all of the Senate turn over their tax returns and make them public then we can ask President Trump to do the same. Do we not have any privacy left in this country?is not the IRS enough to review them.

Subpoena already!!! RepSusanDavis do something!!!

Arrest them ALL of them

Nonsense. We have laws for a reason.

OccupyDC

SEE YOU IN COURT!

the treasury department violates the law

Because of fuckin course. 😡😒 He's so smart but he wont let people see his grades. He's so pious but he cant quote the bible. He's pro American worker but he outsources his own products. He's so rich but he hides his taxes. He's innocent but you cant see the Mueller report.

An arrest warrant needs to be issued for Steve Mnuchin immediately. The only way we are going to stop Trump from taking total control of our entire government and ruling with impunity is to ensure that every single person who violates law in his name goes to prison.

Impeaching the serial adulterer in the WhiteHouse won’t go anywhere — but impeaching TheJusticeDept and USTreasury will be interesting — will the cowards in GOP cede all Article 1 power?

Of course they did the GOP has no soul, they sold it to the devil, I mean sparkey! The law here is pretty clear on this.

How is the $250 Million lawsuit coming, it is pathetic you want it dismissed and I hope you lose every penny.

Wooo hoo! I win tax return bingo!!

The law is clear - SHALL turn over the tax returns to Congress.

That’s... not Treasury’s decision to make?

Shocker

Democrats are just trying to help Trump fulfill his campaign promise to release his tax returns.

What legal presidence do they have to supena his tax records as a private citizen? This is an overeach that will get struck down, because it has no legal basis.

WHAT IS HE HIDING?!?!?! ReleaseTrumpsTaxes

The AG won't do anything to endanger his client Mr. Trump.

Needs new batteries

So the rule of law isn’t a thing in America anymore?

Well that’s a big surprise. I did not see that coming.

SURPRISE!
