Jay You think we'll get know if he has broken the law? I think that's highly unlikely as both guys who can make the decision are his lapdogs. Trump obviously knows that now and he knows he doesn't have to do anything else. He'll just leave it to them. The US is a real sh*tshow.

It is interesting. trump is doing EVERYTHING possible to loose his bid at reelection in 2020. (that is, if he makes it to 2020 without being impeached.) I will only vote for someone who is willing to let people see their tax returns. (and smart too.) What is he trying to hide?
Trump cannot stop the release of the returns in question -- he has no power whatsoever to do that under the law. That's no doubt a very good thing indeed.
t'rump not wanting to release his tax returns is just a sign of how humble and modest he really is. No need to brag about how rich he is.

IN the face of the House's Ways and Means Committee order for the president's tax information, Trump's inclination to not release his tax info has gone from corrupt to criminal.
Dems weaponized the IRS under Lois Lerner, and are again doing this with Pelosi and others this time. Trump was not legally required to release his taxes, Mueller worked with the IRS and had plenty of time to look through them, and Dems want them thinking they can still find evidence of Russian "collusion."
You have a very short memory the republicans went after Lois Lerner and 51 other people using the very same tax law, we'er going to get trumps taxes, period.

The acting President - any President for that matter - should, by law, be required to #1: Divest from all Business Ties, and #2: Submit Taxes. Since the IRS commissioner was directly contacted, "Suspect #1" has been completely bypassed in the process - we will get his taxes, and the SDNY will methodically dissolve the corrupt businesses.
But...but...but ... Mr. Trump you promised to show us your taxes. You said the only hang up was that your returns were being audited.. It turns out Congress can get them anyway, so don't you worry! Go ahead and mark this item off your to-do list. Done... LMAO.
Lawrence - you are precisely the type of man that Donald Trump fears: principled, accomplished, well-educated, admired by millions, self-directed, possessing of a social conscience and innate decency. I fully expect he gets not a moment of sleep knowing you are in the world. What impeachment, conviction or exposed tax return would be more trying for him -- than you?
These are sure some dumber than dirt days. I sure am thankful for the woods, wellworn paths, and my German shepherd stepchildren. Sure wish more of the folks i see in the news had as much social grace. My babies never fear a hug and they don't have to be apprehensive about strangers and strangers don't have to be apprehensive about them. It's harder for me to feel the same way these days, I get the feeling too many two legged folks should be wearing animal skins and carrying a club and their feelings treatment of society is regressing back to a cave.
"They" cannot find out because whether an individual is under audit or not is considered confidential "tax return" information under the Internal Revenue Code, and matters that can be disclosed are carefully controlled under the law.
Thomas Thompson Thank you . I know it might have sounded like a stupid question but I’m of a believer not to be embarrassed to ask if you don’t understand. ‘They’ , I used as a general term for those in the media , intelligence , finance departments of government and congress . I am learning very quickly about your country’s political system and law . I decided to try and understand after a dinner party 3 years ago . I picked my time !
Yes. It's obstruction of justice perpetrated by the Secretary of the Treasury if he fails to comply with the lawful request of a Committee of Congress.
So, the former IRS commissioner interviewed here says the decision might come from the Treasury Secretary, not the current IRS commissioner. Why would the law leave it up to Steve Mnuchin? Every time Trump breaks the law (like the emoluments clause) people point these things out and then nothing happens. Why is there never anything to be done about it? Trump is Rolo Tomassi aka "the guy who gets away with it."
so if the person that should give up the taxes says no does he go to jail and then the next person in line says no do they go to jail until someone says yes ?
NO. The Congress of the United States needs no "evidence" to get the returns -- the appropriate official of Congress merely needs to request them from the Secretary of the Treasury. That has already happened, and the law requires that the Secretary "SHALL" produce them. If he refuses, he will risk going to jail or prison.
They will get the returns -- the law requires Munchkin to produce them; if he fails to comply with his duty under the Internal Revenue Code, he'll certainly be impeached.
I think we're in for a fight, concerning the Trump, Pence, Pompeo and Barr!!! I won't be surprised if the four of them has to be escorted out of our White House.
That’s a good nick name we’ll call you mr monosyllabic Mr mono , mono a mono lol perfect . Hahaha Larry your being silly now lol ya have to know your Laws better bro lol
WHAT A FRAUD AND LIAR ! DURING HIS CAMPAIGN FOR REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP AND AFTER HE PROMISED HE WOULD SUBMIT HIS TAX RETURNS BUT CLAIMED THEY WERE TIED UP BY BY HIS TAX ACCOUNTANTS ? NOW THREE YEARS LATER HE REFUSES TO DISCLOSE OR SUBMIT THEM FOR OBVIOUS REASONS THAT WOULD PROVE TO BE EMBARRASSING BE THEY DISCLOSED !
The House should Impeach Barr. The House should call McGahn to confirm that Mueller accurately quoted him in his report. This I believe would be outside any executive privilege claim since it would not involve any communication between McGahn and the President, but corroboration of the Mueller Report being accurate, which is critical to confidence in the system.
Like trump told mr Obama the best president ever. If he didn’t show his berth certificate that he couldn’t run for president the next term so we the people want to see his tax return or he can’t run to be president and we don’t want him one was enough this country is going down hill with trump the worst president ever.
I love how John (Costanon?) didn't catch his last name, kept glancing over to the monitor at O'Donnell's face. You can tell this guy has not been on TV much and his instinct is to look a man in the eyes, rather than stare warmly into the camera like he was no doubt told to do over and over.

Does any law apply to Trump? When is the US legal system going to get off its knees?

After it drinks up all of Trump's orange juice 😏😏😏😙😙😙😨😨😨
When their jaws become too swollen and sore to swallow.
Ha! Yes! Follow the Money!! You're going down, drumpf.
So it's been made very clear to Trump, GIVE US YOUR TAX RETURNS.
Now we wait and see if he's stupid enough to break the law for it.
Of course he is.
Jay You think we'll get know if he has broken the law?
I think that's highly unlikely as both guys who can make the decision are his lapdogs.
Trump obviously knows that now and he knows he doesn't have to do anything else. He'll just leave it to them.
The US is a real sh*tshow.
He is.....
yeah, his lawyers sent a letter to IRS today.
I think all the *FOOLS* who want to see TRUMPS taxes should have to read it live on the air and explain why they think they should have access to it
They need to be asking for 10yrs worth of tax returns. Is he trying to set up an insanity plea with all these lies?!
Statute of limitations is 6 years. The request is very calculated.
He's not insane, he's too slick for that!!
these are dangerous times...

What is he trying to hide?
Me thinks frump is really really starting to crap himself biggly.
Since when has a crime every stopped Donald Trump from doing anything?
"Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out."Maybe the Emperor Claudius was referring to Trump's swamp?
"Oh, take the keys and lock Trump up, lock Trump up! Take the keys and lock Trump up! He's...a...traitor!"
Trump has plenty of experience covering things up. I mean, you've seen his hair, right?
Lol.... honest and innocent men don't behave like this. The GOP must be so proud.
Ikr!
Something being a crime has never stopped this criminal before. It's an oxymoron
Trump cannot stop the release of the returns in question -- he has no power whatsoever to do that under the law. That's no doubt a very good thing indeed.
He'd rather reveal his real weight and hands size then those tax returns.
The truth will come out!
Everyone do all you can to turn out the VOTE in 2020!! GOP swamp has got to go
Grace Munich it would be awesome if all the Dems candidates released 10 years of the tax returns together in a big ceremony to troll trump
Let's start a petition to bring back president obama for another term
It would seem that Trump’s taxes, will turn out to be his Achilles heel, YAY !!!
Ya... well, there's his Loan apps and the dough he reckons he's worth in them. Wonder if it'll all square up?
"This is ultimately a decision for the Treasury Secretary" Looks like Trump's IRS attorney pick may end up being impotent.

How about, in place of "Lock Her Up!", WE chant "What is he afraid of!"
Le criminality of 45, es blatant, disgusting, et warrant significant jail time.
The end is near for Donald Trump when the tax return are examined it will be the equivalent of opening Pandora's box !
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!!!!!
Maybe get Trumps' tax returns going back to 1980 to check what he has done over 40 years since Daddy Fred allowed him an open chequebook to squander ?
Another law the president is ignoring...yawn...when is someone going to bring him to justice...that is only what I care about!

Just give him what he wants and Vote him out, so he can ride into the sunset and hopefully nerve to be heard again
Those returns must be shocking that he is willing to break the law to keep them private.
I think Trump first soiled his pants when he heard of the House's request and then he responded to the request.
Then how did they know to ask Congress to give them more time. Someone ask for more time.
Deutche bank doesn't have the only copies of his taxes period
Lock him up!
These people need to be tried and jailed! NOW!!!
You have a better chance of finding out the real story of Hillary's e-mails than you do of ever getting President Trump on anything.
We have the real story of the emails; give it up already. And the Congressional Committee will get Trump's tax returns.

Yes. It's obstruction of justice perpetrated by the Secretary of the Treasury if he fails to comply with the lawful request of a Committee of Congress.

What you have to do is arrest trump.
Keep the same energy for all pres
Holy moly! Thanks
Lock Trump up@
Hes hiding it
so if the person that should give up the taxes says no
does he go to jail
and then the next person in line says no
do they go to jail until someone says yes ?
Yes. Then Trump will pardon the yes man or woman. Why anyone would think of sticking their neck out for this jerk is beyond me.
All is would take for them to go to jail is the refusal to comply with the law -- which is why they're not, in the end, going to do that.
Get it done
Why was he able to keep them away anyway?
He wasn't; and he isn't.
You need evidence to get his tax returns. Keep trying
