Seriously, I’ve been trying to avoid politics for a while and I don’t understand what they are after. A nugget of a deal with him and a Russian company? Prove he’s not as rich as he says he is? Show that a rich man didn’t pay a lot in taxes?

Do they think after all the failures in trying to embarrass him thus far that this will somehow embarrass him?

Or do you think Trump is playing them? Let them focus on that and right before the election, he releases them to make them look more foolish than they already are?

To do anything they can to discredit Trump as a success and proven business leader. If only they can show he's only worth $3 billion instead of $10 billion.

There's your answer. The general public will go with what they're told on the idiot box. This is all about shaping the narrative for 2020.

Fishing expedition! I wished the Seante Judiciary Committee would ask for Pelosi's, Nadler's and Schiff's fianacial records. They might have received payments from the Ukraine or Russia.

to find something, anything, no matter how trivial or minor, just so they can start another 2 year investigation over it just because they can.

There is no end game.

When the truth comes out and heads begin to roll (and hopefully it will) the Dims will need something to rant over, they will find something to spin and twist to try to divert attention from their crimes.

Probably just like Barr & the Muller Report. The dems have subpoenaed Mnuchin; hold him in contempt when he doesn't comply. Wash, rinse, and repeat with each cabinet member and family member.

That was 2018. He didn't.

Answer is possible tax fraud.

That's the game.
The AmazonPost would ironically run constant bitch stories about how few taxes Trump paid. Complex deals would be conflated with criminality. Charitable giving would be criticized. The Trump Organization's competitors in NYC and elsewhere would be significantly advantaged. Etc. Etc.

Bottomline: Dems cannot get the tax returns (legally). They won't get the tax returns (legally). Their biggest impediment is the public DGAS about Trump's tax returns. So telling Dems to pound sand only make Trump look better.

The Ross Perot play at work

Perot was the outsider making strides but dropped out ahead of media pressure saying he was only paying about 2% to 4% in taxes per year. Americans are funny when the rich pay way less taxes than they do.

The issue is disclosure and transparency, like every other President and major presidential candidate since Watergate.
