No big news there. But I hope I’m not the only one hoping there’s some good dirt in there that will keep him from running for president and dividing the Republican Party. But it also kind of has this feeling of Al Capone’s Vault. A bunch of hype and then maybe nothing. They could be so heavily redacted there won’t be much left.
I’ve always wondered why they are so obsessed with the tax returns. It’s not like he sits down and does it on Turbo Tax. Dude uses a huge tax firm to do it. Do the Dems really think they will find anything?
I doubt they will find anything, the dems/swamp just want to embarrass Trump.
I think he’s either not as rich as he wants everyone to think, or he uses every loophole in the tax code to pay less than most working class people.
I don’t think I can put into words how much I don’t care about Trump or his taxes.
Do they really think they are gonna find a “fund to murder Hillary Clinton” deduction?
He has a lot of money. He paid a lot of money to become president. He made even more money as a result of having been a president. It’s why most people want to become the president.
Don’t kid yourself, Trump is gonna be a nominee in the GOP primary. And LOTS of people are gonna vote for him. That is why the Republicans need to back somebody who is a better candidate, unlike LAST time.
Biden needs to be next, fair is fair and the American people deserve to know whether he paid taxes on millions he and his family have received from China, Russia, Ukraine and God knows who else.
Why do we get to see his tax returns? I now why people WANT to see them, but legally why do we get to see them?
Like the IRS is overlooking financial crimes? What I expect out of it is a lot of conjecture about what this or that entry means- and only if we had more documents we could finally get him.
The House ‘indictments’ are already de-trending even in CNN…
My prediction is that they’ll find nothing of substance. Nothing burger, no cheese, jalapenos or onions. Not even a wilted lettuce leaf.
Makes no sense. No legal grounds.
Honestly, I think they should publish the tax returns of EVERY president while “in office” just as a matter of policy.

Every member of Congress. Also…no pensions for elected officials. Just a generous 401k contribution. The money is to be invested in the US stock market.
Agree with the modifier - invested through the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).
There is no question that releasing his tax records was the end game when they first demanded them.

He has released his and Jill’s tax returns.

Other than Trump, past POTUS have released their tax returns far as I know. While not technically required, it’s been the norm forever, hence why they had such a hard on for Trump refusing to do it. I always assumed it would show he did what all other rich people do, which may not play well to Joe/Jane American. Two, I figured it would also show he’s not as rich as he wants people to believe, at least at the time they were pushing for the returns. Would be interesting to see if his $ went up or down post POTUS job.

I wonder what we are going to see? For instance, my personal tax return only shows a small view of what I actually have going on. I benefit greatly from being a business owner and that is not always reflected in my personal returns. It’s not uncommon to have several LLC’s and corporations providing you with benefits that aren’t taxed on your personal side.
Given that Trump has been audited by the IRS every year for decades, if there was any fire beneath the smoke they’d have found it long ago. Harassment, plain and simple.
McCarthy needs to subpoena Pelosi’s, give the old hag a taste of her own medicine.
Per usual, what ever they want to see. I suspect usual tax returns of very wealthy person with an army of accountants and attorneys finding ways to avoid paying taxes we mere plebs don’t enjoy.
At this point, the most patriotic thing we can do is deprive this rotten, corrupt government of tax revenue. Any means legal or illegal is fair game. We should ALL strive to pay as little, or none, as possible.

The irony is I’m in a position where IRS employees have told me that it costs more to process my tax filings and payments than they get out of me making them. Never thought I’d see the day where a situation of “tax payment as act of protest” could arise… LOL
But yeah for the most part, by all LEGAL means minimize your exposure. Remember, Tax Evasion was what they popped Capone on when nothing else would stick.
