He's the first modern president not to willingly turn over his tax returns.
I know a lot of people are invested in pretending there's nothing to see here, and frankly, I'm not sure why Congress has the right to them at this point, but I DO know there's something in there that he's very focused on hiding.
And that behavior is as tantalizing as a whisper.
And the motivations behind those who are demanding to see them are equally suspicious to his wanting to keep them secret.
Only he has the right to privacy on his side.
Dems have a hard time trying to justify a "compelling public interest" in forcing his returns to be public.
"He said he would" and "everyone else does it" aren't a good enough reason to violate someone's right to privacy.
I care about politicians - in this case Democrats - weaponizing the criminal justice system and distracting the uninformed public (again, Dems) with an endless stream of red herrings in order to avoid doing their actual jobs. You should care as well. Not sure why you don't.
I can't respond since you were not at all clear what you are referring to. Try it again without all the broad brush generalizations.
There's a lot of topics in politics that I care about.
Trump's taxes aren't one of them.
His taxes are none of my business.....
No more than yours are.
So, again....stop deflecting and tell us why you and the Democrats in Congress care so much about seeing Trump's taxes.
Personally, I don't. I do, however, think that since they were requested as part of a criminal investigation, there should be no choice in the matter to release them to the investigators. If there is no problem with them, he is exonerated and everyone moves on.
That begs the question of why he would fight so hard to keep them out of the hands of the investigators.

He may owe millions of dollars in taxes due to fraud. That is money he has stolen from you and me, who have to make up the difference. That seems pretty compelling to me. If you want to support him financially, send him a check. Just don't expect a "thank you" card.

Do you know what a red herring is?
From the Mirriam-Webster dictionary: : something that distracts attention from the real issue
Recent red-herrings propagated by Democrats:
The war on women
Gun control
Police "slaughter" of unarmed Black men
None are real issues, but it helps keep the drooling, uneducated Dem masses from noticing that Dem leadership is spending the country into oblivion, have escalated racial divisiveness to unprecedented levels, have created a huge increase in crime, etc., etc. Is that clear enough?

So you're all in favor of a politically motivated investigation in search of a crime.

That's the IRS's job.
Not mine.
Not yours.
Not Congress's.
And do you really think that the IRS hasn't already gone over his taxes with a microscope and a fine tooth comb?
You keep wishing your Orange Savior is innocent. Everything will be fine if you can just whistle long enough to get past the graveyards of Cy Vance, Tish James, Fani Willis, and the 1/6 Commission.
Innocent of what charges..?? That's right..there are none. You and Tillman7 are cut from the same cloth... maybe even be the same person but both suffer from TDS.
