What President Donald Trump’s Latest Lawsuit Means In The Tax Return Fight | MSNBC
trump is obviously not tired of losing yet 🤷🏻♂️
I hope Trump get depose in the lawsuit
On old rhetoric, Trump fondly waxes,
with America, he wants to grind axes.
He says he is good;
but, we really just should,
have a good look, at his taxes.
Nice.
His legal position is weak. The law ‘trumps’ his argument. No pun intended.
So, Congress can subpoena any records it wants on opposition candidates. Is this a precedent you think could never apply to Democrats?
Trump and family need there own court for all the lawsuit with peoples suing him and his kids and Melania and Jared.
If he’s so innocent, what’s he got to hide?
Innocence doesn’t protect you from the justice system.
If he is so innocent, wouldn’t he be rejoicing at the chance to make the House Judiciary look like a bunch of fools?
@Jaime Garcia that’s not how court works. You seem clueless
@Thoughtful Thoughts Good morning. Beg your pardon. I forgot Trump’s Cause of Action. I was just supporting President Trump in regard to the contention of certain people seeking to make any income tax returns he may have had filed in different venues made transparent. I just encouraged him to do this. If there is nothing in any possible Federal, NY, IN, NJ tax returns that might suggest the President might be motivated by possible secondary gain to perhaps choose one course of action over another? I believe that President Trump is the most honorable President that I can remember I my lifetime. I urge him to to this to make the Democrats look like fools and witch hunters. I am told litigation is very expensive. I was just suggesting that President Trump seize this opportunity to clear his good name, for all to see.
@Jaime Garcia providing information to courts when you dont have too is not usually a good idea. They are trained to make you look guilty of something. They dont care about justice.
Only thieves act the way trump acts.
Do you think Congress is entitled to tax records of every member of the opposition party?
@esj8341 The Oversight Committee has a right to request tax records on anyone being investigated by them otherwise they wouldn’t be able to do their jobs as the Oversight Committee.
Welcome to the Authoritarian States of America , brought to you by the GOP.
@Mark S OR,….. WIPE OUT THE REAL ENEMIES OF AMERICA’S SACRED DIVERSITY.
@Fred Garvin Trump will win. Sadly. End times is his 2nd term with nothing to fear. NEVER TAKE THE TRUMP MARK!!!
@Fred Garvin Sorry man, the Devil’s gonna win. END TIMES
@TrumpZilla Killa Hey if it’s the end times, I know who’s gonna win….
The mark of Trump ?…
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ro Ni, you are f..king fool. The democrat party makes a law directed at one person and a complete moron like you blames the victim.
When a crook has something to hide, this is what he will do. Crook Trump!!!! CROOK!!!
@dide quen : Using S in rather than C tells me you aren’t American. You won’t be voting for anyone next term because you aren’t an American. Russian?
dide quen laughable troll crap. Tool!!!!
Hearing of a lot of dem deserters…..
Oddly enough, they’re mostly latinos….
What does Trump have to hide? He promised he would release his taxes after the election, but now he’s fighting to not release them. All this does is make him look guilty.
His taxes , like his presidency will be underwhelming.
His tax returns will have tons of information. That’s why he’s suing.
What is he hiding?. All the other Presidents has released theirs. Is the crook hiding something?
@Nick Sak 70% of Americans disagree with you. See you in 2020.
Nick Sak laughable troll crap. Go explain how that will cost dems? Again laughable
@Nick Sak Oversight by Congress is a Constitutional responsibility. Is the Constitution political?
@Tessmage Tessera Wow……
What an (chuckle) embarrassment….
I only got (giggle)……
400 millionnnnnBWAHahahha !….😂
And free room and board at White Housssssshahaha !…..😂
And (giggle)(chuckle), I fly on AIR FORCE ONBWAHAHAHaHaHa !!!…😂
Yeah, this not being a billionaire is downright embarassssshhheeehahahahahaha !!!…..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What happened to I’ll give my taxes after the audit???? The IRS stated that he could have released his taxes at any time!!!!! The law is on the side of Congress this is BS!!!!
@The Blade Yup he’s trying to stall it off, until after the election next year.
What law do you believe is on the side of Congress that trumps separation of powers?
@esj8341 Go back to sleep.
TEFLON DON….
He learned well from “balls” clinton…..
@Anthony Browne Excellent burn/Good substantive add. Thanks for contributing, Anthony.
watch him blame the 4 women for this because he is white
What’s lurking in those tax returns? Nothing good for President Trump probably.
*YEAH these are the actions of a man that’s got noting to hide.* (sarcasm)
Why I left the right. Family Values and Morals gone, Over the top spending except for his 1%, who he feels are the ones to get him re elected, his Lies are to the point of Beyond Outrageous on a daily Basis, We are the laughing Sock of the World which means he Reflects that Sentiment on all of us that care, his Disdain for Women of any Color is Disgusting and he continues to Insult those brave enough to Speak Out. He is a Disgraceful Leader for my Families Taste, Hugs the Flag for Show . . BONE SPURS While my Family Served with Dignity, and that’s my right to Speak Out. He surely does and it seems to be ok.
Welcome Linda. Well put.
The shameful part of this is that this is not the DOJ or the AG suing here, it’s the President and his own lawyers. We have a President that lives by NDAs and lawyering up like a Mafia Don.
Sueing to conceal – totally an activity of the innocent
“I’ll release my tax returns after the audit.”
Jim Keogh “I’ll release my returns after I’m elected”
“I hope they do come out, I’ve got great financials”
