If I had to guess, I might say the WB will be disregarded for having second-hand information, those with first-hand knowledge will refuse to talk to the committee or its investigators, the IRS and administration will rebuff any demands for testimony, documents, or other evidence, and the committee chairman will reluctantly have to let the matter drop.

There is still a lawsuit, 2 I believe. And the state legislative purpose is that the Pres and VP taxes are/were handled correctly.

How can it be a retaliatory investigation when there are two lawsuits already in the courts? And doesn’t NY have it’s own state investigation into Trump, taxes, and family shannigans on going as we speak?

It really is time for someone(s) to start leaking the financials and other damning documents that exist. Where’s the real fucking deep state when you really need it?

I wish someone at the IRS would channel their inner Ellsberg.

I’ll wait to see what happens to the WB before I call it retaliatory then. If the repuglican controlled Senate is conducting the interview there is room for fudging on their part. As for the NY state investigations go I think they are probably our best chance of bringing the truth to the forefront.

And the other part of this is Grassely is the Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and only he can decide to start an investigation.
Sometimes Grassley pops his head up and says something that Mitch would not like him to say.

In the end, Geezer Grassley will be like Sen. Burr. “Nothing to see here. Let’s move on”, even though both know the truth.

Reposted, because you never can tell how bad it is until you actually keep seeing what numbnuts and unprincipled POS we’re up against:

VOTE THESE ASSHOLES OUT OF OFFICE!
RED MEANS DEAD. RENEW WITH BLUE.

Democratic presidential candidates, it’s time to start soliciting your best offers across the globe

Statement should read: tRUmp has teamed up with our traditional rivals, I will pledge to work with NATO, the EU and the rest of our traditional allies, Americans the choice of who you want as your friend is yours, you get to pick between Russia or Canada. But you don’t get both.

There might be the occasional bump in their road to Perdition but they seems work it all out pretty well.

So what if Trump committed tax fraud? If he truly believes the tax fraud was committed in the national interest that makes it legal. If that’s what he truly believed. Keep in mind what he believes can’t be questioned, it has to be accepted on faith.

Grassley hasn’t been this excited since his vote to acquit Andrew Johnson.

For this scandle we are still in the “He is innocent” phase.

Soon repubs will start skipping this phase and move directly to the “He did it and its OK” phase

Right. Isn’t it good to know that the emergency backup systems are working properly? I was beginning to think Boeing had designed our democracy.
