[WildRose]

From a sitting president?

@WildRose

Where in your citation does it show the law you are referencing was used by the committee to obtain his records from the IRS?

26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return...

[WildRose]

Quote it, I’m not reading the whole thing again.

Incorrect. The revision was technically post 83.

And as it stands now, was posted 3 minutes after I called you out.

Wrong again, it’s quoted in post 82

@WildRose

I’m pretty sure he knows.

@WildRose

If they “had to compromise” they never had “full control”. The two are exclusionary.

The Democrats could prevent any bill from coming to the floor for a vote at any time with few exceptions.

The original bill had already been cleared in a cloture vote. Reconciliation is one of the “few exceptions” since it only modifies a bill that has already passed through the normal process.

The original is post number sixty. Damn man, just read them in chronological order.

[WildRose]

And once again you’re not citing any instance in which it was used on a sitting president.

@WildRose

LOL… It was used to get Nixon’s tax returns and will be used to get Trump’s. The law is explicitly clear… ANY return or return information…

[WildRose]

Then cite it.

[dantes]

Read the post immediately above this one and let me know what you see.

A candidate has to submit petitions to be on the ballot as a Primary Candidate for the Presidency. I don’t recall anywhere in the Constitution where running in primaries is a requirement to be President. The States have great latitude in this regard, and several states are considering mandating released tax returns as a condition of being on the ballot in a primary.

@WildRose

Then cite it.

Cite what ANY means? LMAO… Please cite where the law excludes returns of sitting presidents… LOL…

I’m not a Trump supporter and I oppose it.

If a candidate doesn’t release their tax returns, its up to the voters to decide if they care. (The results of the last election show that most voters don’t care.)

The proposed “must release tax info” law restricts who I can vote for. It takes the decision “does it matter” away from the voters and gives it to the congress (and the chattering classes.)

Like term limits, this dis-empowers the voters.

I oppose it almost as much as I oppose Trump.

@WildRose

You couldn’t possibly have any experience relative to such a request since it’s never been used before.

Wrong. Years of litigation assistance in front of the USSC.

[WildRose]

How many presidents did you represent fighting such a request?

Name the cases.

[WildRose]

So you can’t cite any instance in which the committees used it to obtain a sitting presidents’ tax returns.

Thank you for clarifying.

No it doesn’t restrict you from voting for a candidate. You can still choose not to care. It doesn’t disqualify anyone by law… but yes it could make people not vote for a candidate due to their sketchy business ties or other issues.

[dantes]

Is the president exempt from the law?

@H_Arendt

Can you point to the law or executive order “created under the Obama regime” that changed the IRS?

During the last fifteen years, the budget for IRS enforcement has been substantially reduced (driven by Republicans in Congress) and the focus of IRS audits has shifted so that a higher percentage of audits target low income people.

I’m curious what actions your are pointing to.

Additionally when you point to criminals running the FBI… every FBI Director in the history of the bureau has been a Republican… so where would you look to find someone who would be willing to prosecute Democrats?

Talking points are a poor substitute for facts.

Please- keep your talking points. People can call themselves what they want, but actions speak louder than words. Both the IRS and FBI under Obama were blatantly left wing partisan organizations, run by blatantly left wing supporters. You libs like to believe that because abuses of power, including outright felonies were covered up by left wing partisans, they didn’t actually happen. You want to believe that the IRS, with criminals like Lois Lerner would target mere conservative groups for persecution, but then ignore the individual they hated who was running for president- that they would not be picking his returns over with a microscope looking for something to bring him down with- shows either you are unbelievably naive or seriously deluded.

Yeah, like I was implying an actual law or executive order was created allowing for the crimes committed in the Obama regime. As Doctor McCoy asked in Star Trek 3 “How can you get a permit to do a damned illegal thing?!”
That’s why they’re called CRIMES and Lois Lerner and the rest of her Ilk, committed crimes against Republicans and conservatives, knowing that scumbags like Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch and Robert Mueller would never even look into any crime perpetrated by liberals under Obama, and especially if their Felon Hillary Clinton was elected.
