Yay!
It’s about time.
They don’t need a subpoena because the Committee has the legal authority under statute to see any tax return.
All still true, of course.

One of the 8 requested, Bedminster golf course, is where they were recently caught employing undocumented immigrants, and they weren’t the caddies.

I really love “Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter” at the end. Bland and pro forma, yet conveying a subtext of disgust and a forewarning of doom.

Yeah I think any Chump stone you turn over is going to reveal lots of hiring malfeasance.
ETA: I am astounded this isn’t a bigger deal. We have run folks out of high office for a nanny or gardener issue, yet this guy employs sweatshops, outsources all his horrible products, swindles students, hires undocumented workers by the truckload, gets his wives, models, beauty pageant contestants, and underage sex party victims from overseas.

Actually he said 4 months, but I try not to respond to trolls.

“Whether such return was ever under any kind of audit…”
That will be interesting just in itself.

Even if the Supreme Court rules that the language of the statute does not - for some obscure reason - apply to the President of the United States, I don’t see any basis for denying the committee the right to see his COMPANY’s returns. And frankly I think those are the ones that will be the more interesting…

“House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal (D-MA) formally requested six years of Donald Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service Wednesday, setting up a likely legal fight with the administration over the request.”

Pouring what over them? How do you put an apron on a gun?

They’ll rule 5-4 that the law itself is unconstitutional, due to some twisted reach of flawed logic. Maybe that his tax returns are speech, so under the First Amendment, the government can’t make laws about speech, so they can’t see his tax returns.
Or whatever. Take it to the bank that they’ll protect him.

So, I’m going to see my tax guy tomorrow. Why do I think I’ll be paying more than Fat Donnie?

Thank you for the correction… typing too fast gets me in trouble.

Yeah, I was deliberately trying not to feed the Alt-History version. Given the Republican delays in staffing the committees through January, it really has been just eight or nine weeks - time flies when you’re having fun!

I always wondered if the IRS, since a government official made the claim of all his returns being under audit, could have just been asked if they actually were. Although of course audit or no audit is immaterial.

Because you’re a leech on society, whereas he, as a businessman, provides lots and lots of jobs to people (even if he doesn’t pay them after)!

The Madness of King George is actually an excellent movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. IMDB score seems low for some reason but Ebert gave it 4/4 and Rotten Tomatoes has it at 93%.
