As opposed to an investigation INTO a crime.


Gotcha.


(That's called a witch hunt BTW).
All who work for the government have to show this information- if have a security clearance-why is he the only one not subject to what is the normal vetting process. Just like letting his dam family sit in on conversations etc with zero clearance. He is not a king or above anyone ! He, and his trumpettes think he’s a god not to be questioned.

Clara didn't ask to be elected President, and didn't promise to release her returns. Trump did both.

Because the election is considered the vetting process.

It wasn't unique with Trump. No POTUS has to go through the qualifications for a security clearance

Even if Trump did release his tax returns most people wouldn't know how to interperet them anyway except for certified accountants or tax attorneys. It's not like billionaires just file a basic form 1040A through H&R Block.

Of course he lied. The "LOL" was directed toward the sheep who buy everything he says - hook, line, and sinker.

I just find it hard to believe an IRS audit of an individual is requiring more time than an IRS audits of billion dollar corporations with multiple entities.

Because people want to know why you care about a private citizens returns?

Trump deserves any humiliation that comes his way because he lied.

What Trump should have done was, before the 2016 Election, was tell people that his returns are none of anyone's business (which I agree with), and then let the chips fall where they may politically.

However, Trump was too much of a coward to do that.

He didn't want to potentially give up any votes he might lose for saying he wouldn't release his returns so, instead, he lied......saying he would release them 'after audit' and then never did.

"Should have to" = YOUR OPINION

No law says he has to.

Just the opposite in fact.

And unless you've forgotten.....

He doesn't work for the government anymore.

It's funny that the anti-trumpers are worried about us being lied to.....I guess they don't care they are also being lied to by our current president. But as long as it's against the right, they don't care.

Absolutely Trump is enormously different than any of the people in your list. Trump is a dangerous self-absorbed narcissist who will go to any length to protect his bloated ego, and to avoid ever having to be accountable for his actions - everyone knows by now that he is a sociopath. His worshipers celebrate that fact, while the rest of the rational world works to expose him and to depose him.

Before Trump, no one in American history, with the possible exception of Richard Nixon, has openly worked toward destroying our system of Justice and undermining the rule of law. Trump is far from being an ordinary wealthy tax dodger.

One of the most baffling outcomes for Trump must be that one of his appointees, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden made the following statement: "A long line of Supreme Court cases requires great deference to facially valid congressional inquiries. Even the special solicitude accorded former Presidents does not alter the outcome... The Court will therefore dismiss this case."

What's an autocrat to do if he can't depend on his very own kangaroo court?
