The one that says the IRS shall furnish any tax return the oversite committee wishes to inspect. Trump lost four court cases trying to prevent the release.
Even a con man is supposed to have fair justice under the law in the United States. Opinions aside on trump, trump is a private citizen currently. There is no need for such actions by congress on a private citizens records. It serves no purpose other than to further add to the kabuki theater. Who says we are rooting for the guy anyway? You don’t have to root for him to see how dangerous this is and what it could lead to.
Indeed the ex-President Trump stuff is obvious, but I suspect we are drawing very different "obvious"conclusions. (two movies

I thought of a joke about that, but bit my tongue to not trigger the friendly opposition any more than I already do.
Exactly. Everything else is political theater, evidently some of the folks here like to play it themselves.
If I had the time I could go through you all your posts here and show you how selectively you apply the law (or your understanding of it).
As I said above, he lost four court cases trying to prevent the release. Including his friendly Supreme Court. If they had been released when they should have been he was still President.
Yes but he is not president now. As far as I am concerned, there is no law requiring a president or candidate for the office requiring them to do that. there really is no purpose, no reason, no probable cause here that would merit a person to release documents between the irs and said person. Unless it’s law that those in office or running for office have to release those documents to the public, I could care less about trump and his tax returns. But I assure you it would never be law, way too many have secrets they don’t want us to know about.
The Supreme Court disagreed with you.
I am sure, but what law is in place requiring them to do that? More over if you mean that if the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee makes a written request for an individual’s tax returns — as Rep. Richard Neal has done seeking Trump’s — the Treasury secretary “shall furnish” those returns. The law says those returns would be reviewed confidentially in an executive session.
The stated reason they are being made public is to investigate why the mandated audit of the Presidents tax returns were not carried out by the IRS. Unless the whole investigation is to be behind closed doors then the underlying evidence to investigate the IRS must be made public.
No, it isn't irrelevant. Why should any citizen's tax returns be publicized? As a citizen of the USA I have concerns about government over-reach regardless of who is affected. Your strawman is noted. Why is a German citizen so concerned about a former president of another country?
Doesn't justify publication.
Keeping a citizen's private affairs private has no bearing on questioning the IRS about their procedures. The publication is clearly politically motivated.
thank you for not
oh dear... is he being a blowhard still?
So releasing his tax returns from when he was a public employee is fine, right? Those are being released too.
Ok, but how does that equal we get to see trumps returns? Seems to me they need to check up on why the irs didn’t do their job and not show trumps returns to the public.
Consent to what?
Please don't ask questions you know the answer to. it's a waste of both of our time.
