That was your take, not mine. You said
So I am asking you, if you think that way, why have the election.
I do not think that way.
so, you just leave a foreign operative in our Oval Office and just have congress try to stop him (even when his own party may control congress and needs him to pass legislation that they want)?
nah, we need actual oversight to prevent the worst from happening.
Political rivals will use any information they can against youâŚthat doesnât change the fact that less transparency = more corruption. If people who want to hide their finances donât want to run for elected office because of potential backlash, then thatâs a wonderful thing.
NO they should not, not when the obvious purpose is to use them for political harassment.
I am all for actual oversight. Iâm not for fishing trips and violating the 4th amendment.
If Trump has nothing to hide, and his earned monies are on the up-and-up, then its no worries.
You are creating this fantasy scenario where you think Congress is going to look at Trumpâs taxes, and investigate where legal loopholes are used.
There is a difference between hiding government documents involving governmental policy, like we had with the Obama administration and Fast and Furious, and hiding personal documents.
Iâve never seen so many people argue about wanting less and less transparency in government. I guess when they support a lawless president who was propped up by RussiaâŚcaring about ethics is old school.

Obvious purpose?
Americans have the right to know if Trump isnât using his power to loosen sanctions on countries where he is making money. Putting himself and his businesses over the security of the United States. And with Trump hemming and hawing, it seems that he is hiding something.
Why would candidate Trump state he would release his taxes and then as President, sue everyone in the world to keep them from being released? Seems a bit sketchy to me. But, Iâm not a Trump supporter, who donât care what happens to the US, as long as those evil libzes arenât in power.
Trump wants to hide government documents as well but Iâm sure you wonât complain.
He doesnât even want people keeping notes. Whatâs he hiding?
There is no 4th amendment challenge⌠Tax returns are government documents⌠Congress has ALREADY decided who can get access and when and it was signed by the president making it federal law. Heck, tax returns were not even confidential till the 1970âs⌠At one time congress made them public recordâŚ
Which government documents is Trump hiding?
Oh, and Iâm sure youâŚsomething, somethingâŚ
You do realize that Trump waived all executive privilege claims to the Mueller report, donât you? Obama never waived an executive privilege claim in his life and I donât recall all the complaints from the left about it.
Why complain if you have nothing to hide
itâs not a 4th amendment issue and heâs an employee of the Central Government. itâs important that our checks and balances are performed.
Technically that is already the case.
Why have the 4th amendment then?
Why have that âright to privacyâ in the Constitution that we keep hearing about?
Busy making that long list of government documents that Trump is hiding. Iâm sure you didnât just make that up so lets have the list.
Tax records are not protected by the 4th amendment⌠geez⌠Over the years they have gone from public record to semi-private to confidential all based on federal lawâŚ
This, and through all of those changes never once did they pass a law changing section 6103(f). Itâs almost as if Congress wanted to keep a way to maintain their oversight abilities.
