Here is what I dont get, Trumpers excuse for Trump not releasing his returns is because its no ones business but his own. That clearly no one cared enough not to vote for him for not releasing his returns…fine…but thats not truly accurate is it?
Why? Because Trump himself has stated that he will release his returns but the only thing preventing him is this “audit” which we all know is BS and another lie.
This is why he can and should be held accountable, when you let people misrepresent themselves and you give them the benefit of the doubt next thing your doing is what Trumpers are doing generating excuses for the lie itself.
“Hey, I’m under audit,” Trump told reporters Friday as he was leaving the White House for a trip to the California-Mexico border. He added that the law on releasing tax returns is “100 percent on my side.”
As former Sen. McCaskill pointed out yesterday… (paraphrased) Trump’s lies are like a bed of nails, if it was just one lie it would pierce the veil, but because there are so many, Trump and his supporters can walk right across them as if they weren’t even there.
Asked on CNN about the audits, Trump said: "Well, maybe because of the fact that I’m a strong Christian, and I feel strongly about it, maybe there’s a bias.
I actually stopped reading right here. He got the audacity to go the, “It’s because I’m a Christian” route.
I believe Trump was claiming that the law is on his side to prevent House DEMs from forcing the IRS to turn over someone’s tax returns.
My guess is that Trump will fight this and that DEMs will never see his tax returns, despite their best efforts. I further believe that they know as much but are simply using this to further embarrass Trump ahead of his inevitable impeachment hearings next year.
I still think DEMs are delusional if they honestly believe these efforts will win them back the WH next year.
It is important to understand, that Trump alone will decide whether or not the IRS delivers his returns to House DEMs. The DEMs can posture and threat, but in the end there is nothing they can physically do.
