The law.

It's not complicated.

I don't think that's the issue. Many of the Dems are wealthy in their own right.

The judicial branch exists to keep lawmakers in check. It’s pretty simple.

As someone has already stated don’t vote for him if it bothers you.

Trump's not forced to do anything. Congress can request them from the IRS. Never have and never will vote for him.

Congress isn't requesting they be released to the public. They're requesting that they be released to Congress.

You might want to stay on topic. And unlike your desire, Congress has a legal right to theirs.

We all know once they are released to Congress parts will be “accidentally” released.

For the Trump birther base it is too challenging to understand even when spelled out for them. Sad lot.

Who knows? The point is, Congress has a right to them by law. Besides, Trump himself said many times he didn't have a problem with them being released. Until he did.

If you think that I’m a radical leftist, by comparison you’re so far to the right you’d fall off the stage. There’s no hatred in what I said. If you are not part of the pack of extreme libertarians and Neo-Confederates who infest this forum and want to undo 150 to 200 years of American History, you certainly fooled me.

Which comment made you think ANY of that exactly? You are a radical leftists with pure disdain for anyone who doesn't get in line with how you perceive the country should work. Before your crowd shoe horned Hillary onto this country, and inevitably ensuring Trump as president, I was a registered Democrat and I still vote Democrat for local elections.

You people who think it is okay to weaponize the federal government against your foes disgust me. That is exactly what this thread is about; the Democrats in Congress are attempting to usile a law to circumvent the basics of privacy enshrined to us in the Constitution. Trump is a moron and a liar, he will be beaten unless you radicals keep showing your true colors.
