Treasury department releases financial records to Congress

[JEDIYoda]

Yeah ok

as you run away with your tail between your legs...hehehee

Which federal law says a POTUS must release tax returns?

The Constitution and the law says if the chairman of the finance committee request Treasury shall provide. That's legalize for they must turn them over.

Here’s the Law That Requires Mnuchin to Turn Over Trump’s Taxes, or Go Directly to Jail

The law is clear, and it leaves no wiggle room. The consequences for breaking it include removal from public office and up to five years in prison.

Trump could take his acquittal in the Senate and run with it. But he just can't. The only hope we have left is a Trump defeat in 2020 without him somehow finding a way to fix the election enough in his favor.

At this point he could likely send out brownshirts to intimidate people at the polls and republicans would just shrug.

I really hope if by some miracle the Dems win in 2020, they setup a task force to weed out all of these corrupt POSes and through them in jail. Normally I am against legally going after the opposition, but the corruption in this administration is beyond belief.

Expect a never ending stream of "I was just following orders" defenses.

Others have already cited it. Trump is refusing to comply with the law but it couldn’t be clearer.

It appears that the issue here is the SAR's, nothing in the article stated that Bidens tax returns were requested. If those reports are as sacrosanct as claimed, why are they available to the senate? If there is evidence of criminal activity in them, they should be handed over to the DA, not the senate.
While I don't have any doubt that Hunter cashed in on having a direct line into the white house, that's not a crime. This is a fishing expedition, nothing more than dirt gathering.

Right, the documents requested and supplied are significantly more sensitive and protected than tax returns. If Treasury is willing to provide these to Congress then tax returns should be a no-brainer.

What should worry us all is how brazen the corruption has become. They aren’t even bothering to hide it anymore.

I don't see what the end game is unless they try to drag Joe into it. That's going to be a tough nut to crack, and most likely a waste of time, political theater at best.

There's no indication that finCEN has any information about Hunter in the first place. If they can pin something on Hunter, then Trump was right all along and therefore innocent! Even though the evidence was gathered after the fact. It'll sell in Trumplandia.

US is turning into a banana republic under GOP.

No, the US has been full of Banana Republic people for a long long time and that mass psychosis is now in full flower. We will have a revolution or concentration camps and the destruction of the country and then the Nuremberg Trials will start. We create what we fear.

WHY is anyone focusing on the Biden’s ???
Good or bad, what does it matter?
Joe is losing, and it’s not Trump or anything they have done.
It’s Joe.
People just do not want Joe. Democrats want feisty like in Bernie Sanders feisty.
Or fresh as in Pete Buttigieg fresh.

Look.... electing Hillary should have been a no brained.
But Hillary lost that election, no one made her lose it. Hillary simply was the wrong candidate at the right time.
Enter joe Biden.
Same story, different election.

Democrats have some exciting candidates running, fresh new feisty candidates running. They don’t need to dig up dead dogs.

I'm sure the Iranians thought that in the 1960s....

Assuming you're a berniebro, would you rather send us to re-education camps or just shoot us against "the wall"? Apparently the awesome messaging coming out of the Sanders campaign via Veritas.

There is nobody exciting running for the democrats, sorry. Look at turnout in iowa if you need evidence.

It would have to be really bad and damning evidence on hunter to make Repubs rock the boat. No reason to at this point, let the Dems' civil war do all the talking before November.

IA and NH aren't good states for him at all. NV middling. It's funny but had SC started first, he'd be cleaning everyone up.

James O'Keefe is?
A. Reputable
B. Well known to violate journalistic ethics and modify presentation of videos to paint a known false narrative including paying multiple civil claims against him for this malfeasance

Anyone who participates in illegal activity against the US, politician or not, should be investigated and prosecuted if warranted. No cages or re-education, etc. But it would be nice if we could confer about our beliefs and understandings regardless of whether we agree with each other in any way. I am curious why you posted what you did.

I think this is going to make it harder to the admin to argue that trumps tax forms should be shielded.

If Donald Trump had a son, he would look like Hunter Biden.

Not going to lose sleep if Biden loses the nomination because people are questioning what his grifter son was doing in the Ukraine.

Also not going to lose sleep if Trump’s kids fall under similar scrutiny.

You mean Donald Trump Jr?
