This isn't about anything illegal or even questionable. It is about optics. They are hoping there is SOMETHING that can be spun in their favor. The Dems much prefer the court of public opinion, rather than any real court.My question is: If there was something incorrect/illegal on Trumps tax returns, would not the I.R.S. have already conducted an audit AND had any issues rectified. Which could be anything from interest up to felony charges. This is just more BS from the left wanting more "look at this" to rant and pull their hair out over. If there is no requirement to provide returns to be the President, the courts should tell Pelosi and the leftist wanting them to pound sand, in my opinion. If they want it that way, start a Constitutional Convention and add it to, I believe, the 22nd Amendment.
Well, do repubs ever really turn the tables like they should? It seems to me that they chicken out far too often.
the SDNY has grand jury is looking to specific payments to stormy daniels & pretty playboy model, don't recall her name.
if that's the scope I don't think they will be able to "fish" for anything & everything.
since mueller dem feds already looked @ returns there should be nothing fishy to find.
problem is "leaks" from corrupt SDNY...

What deduction do you get for paying off a mistress? Asking for a friend.Why would those be listed on a tax return? Seems like that would be more like banking records.

I agree that this avenue has just been another way to harass Trump and anyone associated with him. They'll never give up.Step 1: NY DA makes big show of accessing records, promises vigorous scrutiny of "suspicious" sources of income, ties to foreign governments, etc, promises extensive review by grand jury, calling of "witnesses", threatening Trump employees and associates for not cooperating.
Step 2: MSM publishes numerous articles detailing every bit of Step 1, hammering "where there's smoke there's fire," citing anonymous sources, leaks, etc (e.g. See "Collusion."
Step 3. Pelosi, Nadler, et al announce committee investigations for possible impeachment, daily briefings about how they can't divulge testimony but it's really bad for Trump
Step 4 Announce indictments /arrest warrants for Trump associates for "violation of federal law", seal indictments and announce DA is in negotiations with associates, arrange for talking heads and "legal experts" to opine that this looks serious for Trump and associates are no doubt cutting deals to give up the dirt on Trump. Continuous frothing at the mouth right up to the election.
Step 5. If Trump wins anyway, threats of (more) insurrection, calls on the military to launch a coup, and... the actual investigation will ultimately land like deflated blimp, just like the "Collusion" investigation and the "Ukraine" investigation and, ... ad infinitum. The indictments of his associates will turn out to be for pulling the tag off of their mattresses.
Exactly! All these things they say they want to see are not included on a tax return. In my CPA days I used to prepare inch thick tax returns and it was just a bunch of numbers on forms. None of the dirty secrets they want revealed (if secrets actually exist).Why would those be listed on a tax return? Seems like that would be more like banking records.
