Where are you getting all of this false information?

I know I have asked you to source your opinion multiple times and you refuse. Is this time going to be different?

Wasted words. Is trump above the law? Is Steve Mnuchin above the law?

No neither of them are and they will get his taxs. You can count on it. Now or after the supreme court tells them they have to but eventually they will hand them over.

You're funny. You think I'm making it up?

Here’s the Law That Requires Mnuchin to Turn Over Trump’s Taxes, or Lose His Office and Go to Prison The law is clear, and it leaves no wiggle room. The consequences for breaking it include removal from public office and up to five years in prison.

Ut oh now what?

Donald Trump and his top White House aide declare that the administration will not give the president's tax returns to Congress, as required under a 1924 anti-corruption law. But both the Treasury secretary and the tax commissioner have been much more nuanced, saying that they will obey the law even as they delay actually doing so. I know why Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Charles Rettig, the IRS commissioner, are so cautious. They don’t want to be removed from office and sent to prison for five years just for doing Trump’s bidding

The reason will no doubt surprise those who think Trump can thumb his nose at the law governing congressional access to anyone’s tax returns, including his. It will for sure shock Trump, who claims that "the law is 100 percent on my side." The exact opposite is true.

That paragraph is for you guys who think that trump can thumb his nose at them....

Under Section 6103 of our tax code, Treasury officials “shall” turn over the tax returns “upon written request” of the chair of either congressional tax committee or the federal employee who runs Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation. No request has ever been refused, a host of former congressional tax aides tell me.

So guess we'll see huh? hahahah

Already said it will be after the 2020 election if then by the time it goes through all the courts.

PS I didnt know we had any history where you asked for a source and I refused to give it.
Please source that claim. Because you are wrong.

“as long as a disclosure served a legitimate committee purpose.”

LOL
what would a legitimate committee purpose be?
embarrassing the sitting president would not fall under that, nor would attempting some sort of audit as that arena belongs to the irs

they have no "legitimate committee purpose" and you can bet that will be sorted out in court loooooong before any documents are turned over

You really think they can put this off for a year and a half?

I don't care to see POTUS' tax returns.
