Re: A Bit of Fake News
Mostly it's because the judges are biased. Republicans are no better.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
Congress is responsible for taxation. All of those reasons could affect future legislation. THe legal precedents clearly show that the possibility of legislation, whether or not anyone has any in mind, is sufficient.
quote:
the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request
That's clear and unambiguous. shall furnish. No "unless the subject doesn't wanna" or "unless the subject is the President of the United States", no "unless the subject is under audit" or any other unless.
shall furnish.
shall furnish.
It could not be clearer.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
But our legal system still works. Most judges try to avoid bias.
I think some decisions (Citizens United) are stupid and do great harm to our Constitutional system. But as of now they're the law and there's no avoiding it.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
Sorry but I'm way too cynical about anything supplied by a leftist such as yourself to take any of it seriously. So again I'm waiting to see what the current investigation turns up about such things.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
so in the future a democratic president can ignore the rulings of judges trump appointed? You do realize that any expansion of presidnetial powers under Trump will be used by the next democratic president.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
Even when it's the written law of the United States? Oh, of course, you daren't come into any contact with reality, it might burn you up.
You really hate it when I quote the law, amirite? It's obvious you think that the law and Constitution only apply to liberals.
quote:
26 USC Section 6103(f)(1):
Committee on Ways and Means, Committee on Finance, and Joint Committee on Taxation
Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.
From 26 U.S. Code ”6103. Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information. Are you claiming that's not the law? Can you identify any ambiguity?

Re: A Bit of Fake News
I don't trust the laws you quote, I suspect you are leaving out some important qualifier and that sort of thing. What has been done to Trump over the last two years is just unconscionable and anyone who thinks it justified does not get any trust from me. So I'm waiting.
Oh and the word "reality" in the mouth of a leftist is definitely from the Twilight Zone.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
Faith, I have to wonder why you keep presenting yourself as having valid opinions on court decisions - to the point of attacking judges - when you know neither the law or the evidence in the case.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
Any court decision forwarded from the left is suspect, just as everything the left has been doing for the last two and a half years is disgustingly political third world style destructive anti-American anticonstitutional lies and fake news and just plain evil. Actually it goes back farther than that but I'll stick to Trump's Presidency.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
There's no qualifiers. "SHALL FURNISH". Tell you what, since I'm such a sweetheart, I've downloaded the entire section and converted it to white text on black so you have no excuse for going through it in your vain search.

No ambiguity. No qualifiers. No wiggle room.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
Court decisions are the law of the land. Period, end of story, full stop, 30. Whether or not you suspect something about them.
In this case the written law is clear and unambiguous. That's reality.

Re: A Bit of Fake News
I have zero interest in continuing this discussion. I'm waiting for something on the subject from someone I consider trustworthy. There is NO WAY the Left has that standing with me, not one single representative of the left. The utterly evil stuff you've all being doing to Trump brands you all as beyond political redemption and I am far from the only one who feels this way.

Trump is protecting the Presidency against attempts to destroy the separation of powers.
That's a flat out lie. Trump is working against the Constitutional powers granted to Congress. Trump is actively destroying the separation of powers.
Congress is asking for things he is not required to give them.
That is also a lie. Any American, including Trump, is subject to having their IRS returns sent to Congress. That is within the powers of Congress, and Trump is trying to destroy the separation of powers.

What has happened to Trump is no different than what Republicans did to Clinton in the 90's.
