Then that over Trump's tax returns. What is the thought process here? We are going to take the returns from the very people whose job it is to prosecute tax crimes to find crimes on our own.

Wonder if they would be comfortable just handing their medical records to politicians so they could find issues doctors couldnt....

I’m really hoping this opens the door to all politicians tax returns being examined . However I know its only going to be “rules for me , but not for thee” .

The irony is that most of the people involved in these Witch hunts would be in prison themselves in a just world.

How haven't Biden and the democrats already gotten someone at the IRS to "leak" his tax returns?

I mean, he’s not even the current President. Thus there’s only one motivation to continue down this path so vigorously as they’ve done: to seek ammo with which to affect a/the future election, i.e. blatant election interference. In the meantime though, precedent is set - Obama and Biden are fair game and should be the targets of exact same actions once the Republican majority is in place.

I truly do not give a shite about his tax returns ,and if he used loopholes in the tax code to benefit him than more power to him.

He's using the very loopholes that the politicians who claim to be investigating him created.

A billionaire not paying taxes is the norm, actually. Trump said it in the Hillary debate. Basically, “ I use the rigged tax code, like you and all your friends “. These people aren’t W2 employees…. Shocker, I know. Most just use write-offs that span year, live of stock options and capital gains, shifting profit into tax shelters and new capital investments. Anyone can see this, but Dems only want the next scalp, and Trump has been an incredible dodger of their persistent game

They have! If you think they haven’t had his tax returns for years the you’re naive. There may be a few inaccuracies in them that they have found so they have continued to push this so they can act like he did something terrible. It will be no big deal!

What if I told you that you might be paying more because he’s dodging his fair share?

The IRS already has his tax returns. They’re the only ones that need his tax returns.

He’s been audited plenty enough times to have discovered any alleged improprieties, and as we all know to this point……nothing shaking in that department. I guess they just think that’s too complicated a concept for us out here to comprehend. Lol

On a sliding scale, I'm way less concerned about a politician who left DC with less net worth than the thousands that leave with a net worth a hundred times what it was going in on a $180k / year salary.

The IRS can investigate right now if his taxes show he’s not paying what he should

Congress is not needed at all

Why is the IRS doing nothing?

This isn’t how it works. Also, you don’t get to just investigate someone in hopes of finding something. Finally, if he is doing anything the code disallows, the IRS is the entity that would find that…the IRS has his returns.

What's his fair share? How do we know members of Congress are paying their fair share?

Instead of thinking "profits" think "profit margins"

How did Nancy Pelosi become a hundred millionaire on her salary?
