[Back from travel. I hope that some of our readers have been following the trail and travail of foreign correspondent and journalist Lara Logan, recently of '60 Minutes' fame. She is causing quite a consternation in the lamestream media who have targeted her for destruction since she has blown the whistle on the whole progressives' propaganda machine. Her interview on tonight's Mark Levin show was superb. gjr]

Once again you ignore my simple question that is do you believe that Trump is telling the truth when he says he won’t release his taxes because he’s being audited for all 6 years. he has affirmed that as soon as he is no longer being audited he will release his returns.

trump is incapable of telling the truth. His recently appointed goon Barr issues a 4 page summary of a 400 page legal document and declares ‘no harm no foul’ and congress will get a redacted version (undoubtedly so trump’s goons can cleanse the report of any damaging information) sometime soon. Another recently appointed goon Mickey Mulvaney sets the tone by declaring that “Democrats will never see Donald Trump’s tax returns” despite established law and precedent that says Congress is entitled to both the full text of the report and trump’s tax returns.
It’s all stall to keep any more damaging revelations from seeing the daylight and the voters until after the election when, if he wins, he will refuse once again. Of course, if he loses all of this will be meaningless in the face of prison time for tax evasion and fraud. You know that is what this is all about….keeping the Donald out of the slammer for as long a possible. Why do you think he came up with the whole lock up Hillary mantra…attack out of your weak point to deflect attention away from your transgressions onto your opponent.

Punchy… you’re just punching the tax return angle? There’s no requirement for a President to make his or her returns public. I thought you knew that.
I suspect Trump was audited every year, and Presidents are automatically audited every year.
That’s the reason he gave, not that he needs any reason. Tax returns are private, you know.

Actually, Congress can request a taxpayer’s return if stated for a legislative purpose, like needed to write tax law. The return (per Law) will be released in executive session of the Committee……which means the committee goes to a safe room. No cameras, no phones, no recording devises, no pen or paper allowed. No notes, no copying. No aides? They can look at the returns there. Knowing how most in Congress on the Dem side are not the sharpest tools in the shed, they can try to make heads or tails of the stack of returns of over 500 companies, but it is a felony to leak one word. The law makes no exception for a President, so Trump is provided the protections of any citizen.
Been waiting for someone to put it in an article to save typing. My understanding may be inaccurate, but judging by comments by both the Dems and the good guys, it ain’t going to happen. First, name the legislative purpose for writing tax law that these particular returns are needed. First things first. This will be tied up in the courts for many moons.

Geeze Louise, another scandal about foreigners trying to help Hillary win an election.
“Nellie Ohr, wife of a senior Justice official and a researcher for the Fusion GPS opposition-research firm, testified to Congress last year that some of Fusion GPS’s research on Trump-Russia ties came from a Ukrainian parliamentarian. The Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump.
Although Ohr acknowledged the Ukrainian source, lawmakers did not press her to be more specific.

Jade Helm 15 was a poorly communicated military exercise conducted over multiple states that had all the visible trappings of something roguish happening as stealthy units, some dressed in civilian clothes, maneuvered in urban and country areas. Given the Obama era’s divisive signs of the times (and Russia’s involvement), an ill-informed population exercising free speech did come up with some pretty draconian theories for all the existential cloak/dagger stuff suddenly happening in their midst. These quickly died down as the government turned up the info spigot and explained the matter to them.

However, as far as organized and enduring conspiracy theories based on no evidence whatsoever are concerned, the now far-left Democratic leadership takes the cake in American history by continuing to pursue multifarious and multi-year fishing expeditions after Team Trump on the pretense that the president is here to do away with American democracy, a nefarious program that began with the infamous Russian collusion that stole the 2016 election from Her Holiness Hillary.

“For people who don’t believe in Global Warming and rising sea levels — I was at the beach last week and the ocean was 3 feet higher in the afternoon than it was in the morning.” —Twitter parody account @AOCpress
and more quotes:
“Those who say that we are in a time when there are no heroes just don’t know where to look.” —Ronald Reagan, Jan. 20, 1981
Non compos mentis: “You’re paying a price, you committed a crime, you’re in jail. That’s bad. But you’re still living in American society and you have a right to vote.” —Bernie Sanders (Some prisoners are murderers who took away another person’s right to vote.)
Selective outrage: “We cannot have perfection as a litmus test. The responsibility of leaders is to not be perfect but to be accountable; to say, ‘I’ve made a mistake, I understand it, and here’s what I’m going to do to reform as I move forward.’ And I think we see Joe Biden doing that.” —Stacey Abrams
Nothing to see here… “I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done. I have never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman. So that’s not the reputation I’ve had since I was in high school, for God’s sake.” —Joe Biden
A blind squirrel finds a nut: “President Trump is correct and the Republican leadership is correct that we need fierce, strict levels of control on [the southern] border to keep bad people from coming in. Illegal immigrants should not come in. I don’t want to get into a wall or anything, but I agree we should fund whatever we need to do to secure the border. The Democrats are not correct. We should be funding ICE and giving them all the tools and resources they need to secure the borders and arrest the bad people.” —Howard Schultz
Delusions of grandeur: “At least I’m not trying to cage children at the border and inject them with drugs. That’s not a mistake. That is a deliberate policy to attack people based on their national origin. That’s not a mistake. That’s just hatred. That’s just cruelty. That’s just wrong!” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

PaulE 1048am – I think that Trump lied when he said he’d turn them over when his audit is over. 1) Given he’s Donald Trump, he will ALWAYS be under some kind of IRS audit, and 2) no matter what happens, he won’t reveal his tax returns – they contain too much political ammo for his enemies. But not to worry about any material illegalities or irregularities, the IRS would have long ago leaked any of that to beyond the orbit or Neptune.

PaulE 144pm – “why shouldn’t Trump be required …?” Because there is no law that contains this requirement. I take it you’re writing your senators to get such a law going (you can skip LaMalfa). Otherwise, all this harangue of yours amounts to nothing more than something that you would like to see Trump do.
And, as I have pointed out to you innumerable times, if Trump has any tax problems, the world would know it immediately.

Tom Sullivan reported there is a law from the 1920’s about tax returns. Congress can ask anyone for theirs as long as there is a legislative reason. So Nadler concocked a phony one to try and get Trump’s/. Mulvaney said no way Jose.

Your assumption is purely that. My question is why doesn’t Trump release his tax returns like all other President candidates have for the last 50 years. Do you think he’s doing that out of principal or because he has something to hide? It’s a moot question because he said he would release his returns so he has no problem with the idea however gosh and golly he’s being audited so he can’t. Sure. Even you don’t even believe that George.

We told you so! –
After winning her House race last year, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., “swung by” to say goodbye to the Coffee Shop in Union Square where she used to work.
She tweeted: “The restaurant I used to work at is closing its doors. I swung by today to say hi one last time, and kid around with friends like old times.”
What she didn’t say is that the popular coffee shop was closing its doors because it couldn’t afford the $15 minimum pay raise that Ocasio-Cortez has gone on to strongly support.
“The times have changed in our industry,” co-owner Charles Milite told The New York Post. “The rents are very high and now the minimum wage is going up and we have a huge number of employees.”
The American Action Forum calculates that minimum wage hikes will kill 261,000 jobs — with most of the losses concentrated in New York and California.
In just the last three months of last year, 4,000 workers lost jobs at full-service restaurants, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show. By the end of last year, there were fewer restaurant workers in New York than in November 2016, according to Investor’s Business Daily.
Last month, Maryland became the sixth state in the nation to approve a gradual minimum wage increase to $15 an hour. The American Action Forum predicts the move could cost the state 94,600 jobs.
“For perspective, this is equivalent to eliminating nearly 50 percent of projected job growth between 2016 and 2026,” Ben Gitis, director of labor market policy at American Action Forum, wrote. “Maryland is not in a strong position to absorb this shock, as it continued to experience below-average job growth while the state implemented its previous minimum wage hike from 2014 to 2018.”

Paul… every President gets their returns audited. Trump’s are probably the most complex.
I have no way to decide if Trump is telling the truth regarding being under audit… perhaps someday his audits will me made public. Perhaps not.
I care little about them myself, and it’s clear you only care about them as fodder for those looking for political nits to pick at. I kinda like the idea that Presidents current and future can tell the newsy class to pound sand… professional politicians have the time and inclination to sanitize their tax returns.

We’re talking about voters Gregory not the “Newsy Class”. Don’t you think they have the right to know about a candidates financial dealings as essential information in order to make a decision about who to vote for? The issue is why is trump hiding this and other information from the voters.

Actually, I think all the media types need to release their tax returns. Since they push their bias and information to influence others I think we need to see their finances and see who is getting paid off.

Polling shows the public cares little about Trump’s tax returns. They have Investigation Fatigue. They were just lied to for the 2 1/2 years and are tuning out. But, go ahead and knock yourself out. It’s all in the tax returns! The silver bullet is in the tax returns! We mean it this time. It’s true because we say it is true, roflmao. It’s in Al Capone’s vault.
Oh, the Leftinistas are always skirting the law. Lawlessness breeds lawlessness. Subpoena Trump’s legions of CPAs, tax law specialists, and internal auditors. Get their hands on his State tax returns. Weaponize departments of the Executive Branch for political purposes. Its sooooo Leftinista of them. Sooo Banana Republic of them. The Lefties are now both the Enemy of the People and the Enemy of the Constitution. It’s who they are. Lawless. They are enough to turn even a NeverTrumper into a Libertarian. Excluding the lawlesss Banana Republic Socialcrats, we are all Libertarians now.
Now, the silver lining. The hunters are becoming the hunted….and they have no place to hide. They done got smoked out. Pivot to tax returns! That’s where the bodies are buried! It’s true! I really mean it this time!
Welcome to my parlor said the spider to the fly.
