Democrats Serve Subpeona To Trump Cabinet Member

In an effort to acquire Trump’s tax returns, the Democrat House Ways and Means Committee has issued Congressional subpoenas to Secretary Steven Mnuchin and his IRS commissioner. The press release reads as follows:

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after issuing subpoenas to Department of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles Rettig for six years of the President’s personal and business tax returns:

“Last month, the Ways and Means Committee began an investigation into the mandatory audit program at the IRS in an effort to assess the extent to which the IRS audits and enforces the federal tax laws against a sitting President and to determine if those audits need to be codified into federal law. As part of that inquiry, on April 3, I requested six years of the President’s personal and business tax returns, pursuant to my authority under section 6103(f) of the IRS Code. I believed then, as I do now, that reviewing the requested documents is a necessary piece of the committee’s work.

“Unfortunately, the Treasury Department and the IRS have denied my reasonable request. Despite the agency’s denial, we on the Ways and Means Committee are still moving forward with our inquiry. After reviewing the options available to me, and upon the advice of counsel, I issued subpoenas today to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of the IRS for six years of personal and business returns. While I do not take this step lightly, I believe this action gives us the best opportunity to succeed and obtain the requested material. I sincerely hope that the Treasury Department will furnish the requested material in the next week so the committee can quickly begin its work.”

The legality of subpoenaing records from a President from before his Presidency will spark a battle between the Trump administration and Congressional Democrats. But the real question is this: will the American people care about Trump’s tax returns? Will they provide relevant information that will enable his impeachment?

The information contained in the President’s tax returns when he was a private citizen is none of my business, nor is it any of the business of anybody in Congress. Besides that, I don’t care what those tax returns might or might not show, in the years before Trump was President. He was a PRIVATE CITIZEN. The majority of Americans are sick and tired of this on-going witch hunt by the Democratic Party. Why can’t they be glad that he has achieved so much that is positive for the American people? Pure evil seems to have invaded the minds of the Left. Sad. Sad. Sad.

They are only subpoenaing Trump in order to try to impeach him. The demorats in congress are scumbags. They should not be given Trump’s tax information, as it is none of their business. Remember, the synonym for demorats is COLLECTIVE STUPID. Period

The President of the United States is in government for 4 or 8 years. I don’t care what his taxes are, BUT I do want to see the entire congress’s taxes to see how they become multimillionaires in such a short period of time ? And many of them are there for multiple of years Let’s really see who the crooks are that are selling out America!

Harry Townsend According to constitutional experts,Trump can demand to see their Tax returns,he has the authority to do that and I hope he does,but he may not be able to divulge what is in them,they can only aquire his tax information if it is in an investigation of the IRS to see if they are staying within the legal boundries and that is very if’e,I would love to see Dianne Feinsteins or the Clintons Tax returns ,Polosi would be nice to,I bet we would see some real tax cheats at work here.

OK Demonrats – you show us all of your tax returns. I would be very interested how some of these elected members went from rags to riches on their salaries. They give themselves raises behind closed doors, which is unconstitutional. I wonder how big their taxpayer salaries are now. I also wonder how much personal expenses have been written off at the taxpayers’ expense. Those hypocrites that yell the loudest are the most corrupt. Are they really that stupid that they think they won’t be caught? President Trump is donating his salary to honorable causes. And, as others have stated, I don’t care about President Trump’s taxes prior to his election. The idiot Dems want to drag this BS out through the elections but they’re too stupid to know know that most clear-thinking Americans are over this. The #Walkaway and #Blexit movements are growing daily, because normal people are sick and tired of it! If the Demonrats can’t do what they were hired for by the people, we need to vote them out.

They are out of power even though they rigged the election for Hillary, and she still lost. They had federal employees committing criminal acts to over turn an election with lies and fake news. They have rotten people in the House and Senate who do not give a dam about any U.S. citizen. They screw the citizens and allow illegal criminals, murderers, rapists, child mollesters and frug cartels brining drugs and terrorists into the country making millions from the terrorists and destroying our country. They are the scum of the earth and I hope the citizens vote them out of office. Also they bow to the Muslims they have in their party that back Muslim terrorists and dish our great service men and women.

I do not think it is legal to get people’s tax returns unless the IRS is auditing your tax return. They are the only ones I know of that can legally view your tax returns.

Cry me a river you fools! Go ahead, issue your subpoenas and they too will be ignored. You also wush to issue $25,000 fines for every day they ignore the subpoenas… Hete is one for you… “The checksvin the mail “ ha ha, jokes on you clowns!
Keep trying, keep reaching and keep deflecting from the real story – you know, the story that you and your filthy, dirty party are the only party guilty of Collusion! That’s why Killary is referred to the QUEEN OF COLLUSION! Ironically, that’s just the tip of the iceberg concerning her crimes of the Clinton Crime Syndicate. The biggest fraud, the most corrupt joke of a foundation/ a “ Psy to Plsy fake foundation. Benghazi is another big fat lie and best of all are the MILLIONS Killary, Soros and others paid for the fakenDossier.an, They sure wasted MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for what turned out to be a pack of lies, a fairytale really, put together haphazardly by another Trump hater who has admitted iit is nothing more than lies, lies & more lies. Talk about a bad investment- it doesn’t get much more worse than this!
Hold on tight dimwits, your day of recoogning is headed your way!

It is amazing that some think that a President’s tax returns are no business but the President’s. The fact being how any Person, Presidents especially get their money and what conditions are put on it. Now it is proven fact that Trump got a $200 Million unsecured loan from the Russians and most of his business money came from a Bank which is under investigation for money laundering for the Russians, Deutsche Bank provide Trump with his loans after American banks decided that Trump was not trust worthy to make loans to.
Then there is the thing about the Emolument Clause, where Trump’s business makes a huge amount of money from Foreign Government persons who cater to his Florida and Washington DC businesses, now just because Trump says the running of the Trump enterprise is under his Son’s control, I Do think that anyone who knows anything about Trump knows that everything
happening in his businesses is under his control.

So you are saying that its against the law to get a loan from anyone unless you approve of it,its kind of strange you saying this is a proven fact when we haven’t head a word about this nonsense before,and when did this loan take place,a lot of banks have laundered money for criminals over the years,but all of its depositers were not charged with a crime were they,you argument is full of holes Robert,you haters will do and say anything to support the hate exhibited toward Trump,so we reject your testimony of Trump,your words are worthless and prove nothing.

The logical solution is that the members of the administration, who are the target of the democratic gang, will sue gang members and we will finally see what the Supreme Court will decide! There the gang to bring documents of crimes committed by the administration and not a dirty manipulation , a propaganda policy for the 2020 elections.
