AOC reminds Trump in tweet about tax return request: 'We didn't ask you'

In a tweet Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggested that House Democrats won't be taking no for an answer in seeking access to President Trump's tax returns.

The freshman congresswoman boiled her view of the situation down to the following mock conversation between Congress and the president:

"Congress: 'We’re going to need a copy of the President’s tax returns from 2013-2018.'

"45: 'No, I’m ‘under audit.'

"Congress: 'We didn’t ask you.' "


you go girl!  the entire radical radical right wing is frightened of you.  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)

Yup, the GOP won't shut-up about her...

“This is the latest effort from House Democrats in their misguided rush to impeach President Trump that began the day after the 2016 election,” Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement.

“This particular request is an abuse of the tax-writing committees’ statutory authority and violates the intent and safeguards of … the Internal Revenue Code,” Brady added. “Weaponizing our nation’s tax code by targeting political foes sets a dangerous precedent and weakens Americans’ privacy rights.”

“I’m under a routine audit and it'll be released, and as soon as the audit is finished it will be released."

Trump has reneged on a pledge to release his tax returns after an IRS audit, confirming what many have long suspected: that the real obstacle to disclosure is Trump himself.

Which part of the following is it you left wing socialist don't understand?


Currently, the criteria for a presidential candidate, per the Constitution, is that the candidate must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and 35 years of age or older. That’s it. Congress can’t add to the constitutional criteria through federal legislation.
If Congress wanted to change the threshold criteria for presidential candidates, it would likely take a constitutional amendment to Article II, which would in turn require ratification by at least three-fourths (currently 38) states. Congress does not have unilateral authority to add to Article II and impose this kind of mandated criteria on presidential candidates.

And that also includes left wing socialist judges.

The house democrats can go finger themselves or each other.

I'm just going by what trump says blammie.   He said he would release his tax returns, now he says he won't.    It's like you can't trust what he says isn't it?

Barry never released anything. To this date he’s still hiding all of his incriminating records.

You leftards look reeeeaal stupid yabbering about 1 record the eligable Trumps when you gave the fraud usurper a pass for all of theses ....

 Why is that commie boy  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/huh.gif)

Another round of let's waste time and money, rather than show America why we deserve to be back in the WH?

A statute passed by Congress in 1924, following the Teapot Dome scandal, gives the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee the power to obtain tax returns directly from the IRS.

Suck on it, trumpies!

https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2019/04/04/trumps-tax-returns-wont-be-public-any-time-soon/23706432/

Most Americans view this as presidential harassment.   So, it's all good by me.  Knock yourselves out.

Most Americans view Trump as a sellout/traitor.

We know some certainly do, and we see how they are.

We've survived poor presidencies many times, but allowing Congress to laser focus on this shit endlessly is a sure sign they all need to go!

And yet you never complained when the GOP was focusing on shit like this.  Why is that?

A person's tax returns is no ones business!

Who's complaining?  This is great stuff watching the Ds stab themselves.

stab themselves how chuck.   you weren't voting for them anyway and I think most Americans want to see a president be open with his finances.

Two-thirds of voters think Trump should release tax returns


Sixty-seven percent of voters said they think Trump should make his returns public, while 24 percent said he shouldn't.

The poll found support for Trump releasing his tax returns across gender, education, age and racial groups.

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/374875-poll-two-thirds-of-voters-think-trump-should-release-his-tax-returns

Youse nutjobs have been at this for so long you're desperate to come up with something, anything, because you darn sure better at this point.   LOL

So what, Wvit!

Tax Returns are "private" and none of your business!

well, then why did he say he would release them d2?   evidently he was just lying to the American people again.

That is up to President Trump!

He cannot release his returns while under audit!

Why don't you understand that?

so he was just lying to the American people when he said he would release them?

he's not under audit d2.   and even if he was why couldn't he release his returns?

Well if she doesn't want them, who does?  How's her money laundering scheme working out for her now that she's been caught?

Someone needs to inform Alex Occasional Cortex that she's not the boss.  You can't demand private personal information from anyone without a warrant.

Actually Warren, most Americans see Democrats as sellouts and traitors especially in view of Democrat's pro-open borders/Chinese policies!

"That is up to President Trump!

He cannot release his returns while under audit!

Why don't you understand that?"  *d2/dmbass*

BULLSHIT, d2/dumbass! The IRS had NO problem with tRaitor/tRump releasing his tax returns under audit!

Profane LRW, I never said the IRS had a problem with the release!

Scrape the excrement out of your eyes and read what is posted instead of what you imagine!

there are five broad categories of disclosure related to his returns that should matter to voters, politicians, and anyone else interested in making sure the White House is conflicts-of-interest free


Income
Business Activities
Charitable Giving
Tax Planning
Transparency and Accountability


Trump is now, arguably, the most powerful and influential man in the world. His tax returns would provide a much clearer picture of potential financial conflicts or pressures that would come to bear on him in the White House. They would also provide a way of monitoring whether the president is more interested in his financial self-interest and deal-making than policy-making.




For instance - how much money did the trump tax cuts save trump and his family?   How much will his cutting the inheritance tax save his estate?

President Trump's finances and investments are no one's business but his!

LOLOLOLOL!!!

Fuck Off, d2/doorknob, everybody takes a turn!

Childish name calling and profanity have nothing to do with the truth except what it says about you!

Neil requested the IRS to provide Trump's returns for none of those so-called concerns.  The reason it gave to the IRS is that the committee must have the tax returns in order to examine how the IRS audits presidents, in general.   And that's because that's the only legitimate excuse possible.   All of sudden the committee wants to know how the IRS audits presidents, and, surprise, they are only interested in one president's returns in order to learn how the IRS audits presidents.   How is looking at a return going to inform anyone how the IRS audits presidents, anyhow?  What a bunch of slim balls.

"Obama did his very best to destroy America and the Constitution"--d2dvd!, reply #46

And based on that lie, d2dvd! is arguing that her Dear Leader trump should not release his tax records.

Yeah...Right.

IMHO if congress wants to audit tax returns they should resign and go to work for the IRS.

Congress wants to be Attorney General, too.

And pees, what do you think about my previous post?   Doesn't get any slimier than, that does it?

Congress (the House anyway) is doing its job.  Now, where is that source, chuck?

Jw2 are you aware such legislation is unconstitutional?

While Chairman Neal now claims that he needs the President’s tax returns and return information to assess how “the IRS audits and enforces the Federal tax laws against a
President,” that explanation is obviously pretextual. If Chairman Neal genuinely wants to review how the IRS audits Presidents, why is he seeking tax returns and return information covering the four years before President Trump took office? Why is he not requesting information about the audits of previous Presidents? And why can he not simply ask the IRS to explain its policy? The answer, of course, is that Chairman Neal’s request is not about examining IRS policy. It is about scoring political points against President Trump. As Chairman Neal explained to the partisan groups demanding the President’s tax returns: He had to be “meticulous about [his] choice of words” because his request will “become the basis of a long and arduous court case.” He stressed that Democrats had to “resist the emotion of the moment,” not “step on [their] tongue ,” and “approach this gingerly and make sure the rhetoric that is used does not become a footnote to the court case.” Rep. Neal, In the News (Jan. 23, 2019), bit.ly/2TPe1k0; Rep. Neal, In the News (Jan. 24, 2019), bit.ly/2UfiYaT. In short, Chairman Neal promised to draft a request that concealed his party’s motive: unconstitutional
retaliation against the President.

Told you so!

Just Trump?  No one else?  Any five years?

See, this is why Americans have such a low opinion of Illinois government.

The law says the only way President Trump's tax returns can be made public is with President Trump's consent!

So why do Democrats want them?

They didn’t care about Barry Sotoros tax return

HI didn’t certify him on their ballot for POTUS because he couldn’t prove hisself eligible !

That's why I don't bother to give you any sources when you ask for one, as usual.  So why do you bother asking?

Hoping that through some miracle your brain will recover.

Democrats cannot override executive privilege in this case!

I have no such hope that you will dispose of your willful ignorance, pees.  It's just how you are.

"The Committee on Ways and Means ("Committee") has oversight and legislative authority over our Federal tax laws. With this authority comes a responsibility to ensure that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is enforcing the laws in a fair and impartial manner.

Consistent with its authority, the Committee is considering legislative proposals and conducting oversight related to our Federal tax laws, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the IRS audits and enforces the Federal tax laws against a President. Under the Internal Revenue Manual, individual income tax returns of a President are subject to mandatory examination. but this practice is IRS policy and not codified in the Federal tax laws. It is necessary for the Committee to determine the scope of any such examination and whether it includes a review of underlying business activities required to be reported on the individual income tax return.

Why would the Dems work so hard to come up with Bills that they know Our President wouldn't sign?

It wouldn't take effect until a new Pres was in office anyway!!!

Regarding his taxes....

first, Trump said if he decided "to run for office of course I no objection in releasing my tax returns. absolutely!"


then, Trump publicly said he'd "love to release" them"I don't mind it"...[no he wouldn't]

then, Trump said he "was under audit"...[he probably isn't]

then, Trump said "I can't release my taxes because I'm under audit"...[that's an outright lie]

and then Trump and his spokespeople said "the American people don't care" about his taxes. [ yes they do



speaking of spokespeople - today, Sarah Sanders now claims "Democrats aren't smart enough to read Trump's taxes"  [ I know that's the kind of crap youse right wingers love to hear, but if you're intellectually honest with yourselves, you know that's bullchit.]

How about TAX RETURNS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS?

How about we get rid of the income tax since now it's more than about taking our money, only, and it's now also a tool for slime balls?

Most of Congress is honorable, and we have seen many of their tax returns.

ALL the Democrats are releasing their tax returns.

Trump is the ONLY one so far, who has something to hide and has NO honor.

You should provide a compelling reason that explains your Dear Leader trump's obstinate refusal to voluntarily release his tax returns, instead of babbling about Harry Reid's tax returns.

How did Harry Reid become a multi-millionaire solely on the Senator's salary!

I should add politicians with presidential aspirations, like Bernie, sanitize their tax returns for public consumption!

d2dvd! : How did Harry Reid become a multi=millionaire on a senator's salary?

I cannot answer that question because I don't know. So any attempt by me to answer your would be based on speculation rather than fact. In other words, I would be doing what you always do in this forum: talking out my ass and arguing my opinion as fact.

Why do you fear my question?

The more pertinent question in this thread is, "Why does your Dear Leader trump fear releasing his tax returns?"

[P]oliticians with presidential aspirations, like Bernie, sanitize their tax returns for public consumption [sic].

I asked you to provide a compelling reason to explain your Dear Leader's refusal to voluntarily release his tax returns; however, you did not do that. Not surprisingly, your response was a smear against a Democratic presidential aspirant.

So, Sanders is just another 1%'er.   Thanks for letting us know, Bernie.   Congratulations.  Great job.  By the way, Bernie, you did a lot of finagling to pay only 25%.  Pretty slick for someone who says the 1%'ers should pay their "fair share".  What else do you want to show us?   And WTF does it have to do with your slime ball buddies and Trump's returns?

Re: reply #146

Despite all you said about Bernie Sanders, he (unlike your Dear Leader trump) has released his tax returns for public perusal, proving to the US electorate that he has nothing to hide about his finances. But, evidently, there could be something in trump's tax returns that he wants to keep hidden from his deluded personality cult.

Post your tax returns here, hawksbaby, or tell me something about that something to hide argument that doesn't make any logical sense at all.  Your choice.

chuck_curtis,

I'm not running for president. Tell your Dear Leader trump to post his tax returns here.

You're not running for president, hawksbaby, which means you have even less reason than Trump does not to post yours here.   But, your argument is crap, so you won't post them here.

If Democrats in Congress succeed in their quest to get Donald Trump to cough up his tax returns, they’ll have another Republican president to thank: Warren G. Harding.  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/emo_hattip.gif)

A century ago, the Teapot Dome corruption scandal engulfed Harding’s administration, spurring Congress to pass legislation that finally reclaimed its right to review private tax returns. It was a solid law, and remains so today: The legislative branch has the power to tax and spend, and the review of personal tax returns falls well within its rights and obligations.

First you have to have reasonable cause and you don't have it!

The House Ways & Means group has the reasoning to call for tRaitor/tRump's taxes among other things...

He's being investigated for corruption, conspiracy, and money laundering, among other things......
