The President tweeted that he committed tax fraud this morning… so this will get interesting.

So you don’t believe in privacy?

Conan, can you point me to the law which states that tax returns can be kept from the appropriate tax committees?

conan · 2019-05-08T18:50:49.018Z

^ this here is precisely why libs are so dangerous. They believe in sole purpose of government is to be used as a political weapon.

I’m sure if it was a Democrat, they’d be just as defensive of the President’s rights.

Democratic presidents release their returns, so it’s a moot point.

Unless of course, you’re either a tax cheat or a money launderer.

I hate to break it to you, but Congress is part of the government.

You mean after a person’s personal attorney testifies under oath that there has been tax and insurance fraud? That’s the kind of thing you’re talking about?

Or does that kind of detective work only apply to mafia dudes?

conan · 2019-05-08T19:18:37.915Z

Are you saying goverment workers that do the audits are so incompetent that they’re unable to do the job?

conan · 2019-05-08T19:20:44.975Z

Then why didn’t federal workers/auditors haven’t catches them…are they incompetent?

IRS auditors are not looking for money laundering.

I remember the gold days of pre-2016 when republicans thought every American should know the full details of a president’s past

Well, that’s not true at all.

Democrats don’t want to see those returns for any other purpose to use them politically. That means either finding some excuse to make them public or, more likely, do it through illegal leaks.
This would not be an issue if the real purpose weren’t known.

Elections have consequences. Next time maybe the Republican’s heads won’t be so far up Trump’s ass so they can win an election.
