I still don't understand why you care. How come you aren't just as interested in Obama's college transcripts?

But I'm sure the NY Times will find something in those tax returns that floors full of accountants missed.

If reports are true and in the last 15 years Trump paid no taxes most years, and about $750 when he was in the WH certain years, I'll be curious to see how his base reacts. And I mean that over the long term, not their initial reaction, which is to reject fact out of hand.

Released to the Dems? What a sick mentality.

He’s a private citizen and the IRS has already scrutinized them as much as possible. If there was something nefarious there than they’d already have him in federal court over anything not legal.

Not a question now of legality.

That's for the other investigations to handle.

Those complaining about the right wanting all the details about a crime committed against P Pelosi must be equally worried about the enfringement of privacy here as well right?

If he did it legally, which I have no doubt he did... Then so what?

But I have no doubt.. yghn. 🤡

But how will the Trump haters react if nothing is found... Again?

No they didn't. But that isn't the point. There are details that seem off at first glance and the Republicans are pushing for investigators to be forthcoming. For the record I don't care what happened there beyond the crime and want the investigators to do their job........ but the right wants to know the details the left says why, it's none of our business........ Now transpose those same stances onto the Trump tax situation, which I also don't care about because the authorities have already looked into it and found nothing illegal.

To sum it all up you can't have it both ways depending on your like, dislike or indifference to the person involved. A little intellectual honesty would go a long way.

Edit: that last sentence isn't directed at you..... It was intended the person I responded to and those that think like him.

The standard is not legality. It's whether average folks voting based on inflation, but who paid $5k in taxes last year, will be bothered by the Billionaire paying nothing.

If Trump committed tax evasion and is convicted, then the details should be public.

Police with body cams witnessed a violent attack in one scenario. A citizen shouldn’t be challenged by the government’s witch hunt with details exposed in the other.

But Trump didn't do anything illegal tax wise. That's already been established, his taxes were already examined by the IRS.

Edit to add:

Just as the right doesn't need this info and should trust those charged with the investigation to do their jobs the left didn't need Trump's tax returns. The point is this is petty politics. They are selling to embarrass and expose Trump when it has already been established no crime was committed tax wise.

So the IRS and Obama couldn’t find anything that would keep him from sweeping Hillary in 2016 , nothing was found from him being the most investigated man on this planet from multiple countries during the steel dossier disaster , but you Dems will now ? You are eat up with Trump obsession .

So it's important that Trump be investigated ... again, but the biden crime syndicate and voting fraud are no big deals. Funny how in one case government held records which would constitute proof need to be released, but not in other cases. Or put differently, in some cases courts have to have proof of wrongdoing to force release of the records constituting proof so the case may move forward, but in other cases politically suspicious minds are all that's necessary. Seems like the legal system doesn't actually know the difference between "proof" and "allegation" ... or "truth" is a flexible entity. BTW, there's this government branch charged with making sure taxpayers pay taxes; maybe the case should be against the IRS and failure to ensure Trump paid his taxes. There's also something constitutional about "right to privacy".

So are we on the same page? I feel like maybe you misinterpreted my original post.

I'm not the best with words, my mind goes way quicker than my mouth/fingers when I type. Lack of formal education has limited me I'm afraid.

Who wrote the tax laws allowing billionaires to pay little or nothing? If that upsets you (and it should if it happens), then your ire is misdirected.
