Even better outcome ... I win the Powerball with the doubler, they deduct my refund from the taxes due and I quietly disappear into the ether.  Never to be heard from again.

4 flaws in Trump’s fight to hang on to his tax returns

The former president’s lawyer calls the Justice Department’s order ‘outrageous’ and something he’s ‘never seen.’ It isn’t, and we have.


Teri Kanefield is an author and a graduate of the University of California Berkeley School of Law. For 12 years, she maintained an appellate law practice in California.


...


1.  First, there is considerable evidence of wrongdoing. The Trump Organization — a closely held company run by Trump himself and his family members — was recently indicted on charges of tax fraud. Prosecutors described a 15-year tax avoidance scheme “constituting a systematic ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud.” The 15 counts included falsification of records.

...


On Feb. 27, 2019, Trump’s former longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen testified before Congress about crimes he said he had committed at Trump’s behest. Those crimes included misusing charity funds, and bank and insurance fraud. Cohen testified that Trump inflated or deflated the value of properties depending upon his needs at a given moment. Cohen presented copies of Trump’s bank and financial records to back up his claims.


2.  Second, contrary to Fischetti’s implication, Congress had a legitimate legislative purpose for requesting the tax returns, perfectly valid under its oversight duties. The House Ways and Means Committee sought Trump’s returns to determine whether the IRS was fully and appropriately auditing the president. Trump is on extremely weak footing here. Congress is permitted wide latitude to investigate the executive branch, which is key to our system of checks and balances. Moreover, Section 6103(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 6103(f), requires in mandatory terms that the Treasury “shall furnish” the committee with “any” requested tax return information.


3.  This brings me to the third hole in Fischetti’s defense: the idea that Trump is objecting on behalf of “all future presidents.” Rule of law literally means that the law applies to the president as much as it does to anyone. Anything else is autocracy.


4. The fourth hole is fairly obvious: How is making Trump’s tax returns available to Congress “harassment” — unless Trump has much to hide? He was, after all, the first president to refuse to disclose his taxes.

With the kind of hyperbole typical of Trump and his lawyers, Fischetti said he had “never seen anything like” Congress’s request for Trump’s returns. Perhaps someone should tell Fischetti that Hillary Clinton voluntarily made all of her tax records available when she was hounded for years by (false) allegations of financial wrongdoing, beginning in the 1990s when the Clintons were accused of participating in a fraudulent real estate deal known as Whitewater. The Clintons complied with every request — and in the end, no evidence was found that they had engaged in any financial wrongdoing.

Trump lawyers ask judge to block release of tax returns to Congress after Biden DOJ orders IRS to do so

  • Trump's lawyers argued that the House Ways and Means Committee is seeking the returns merely to look for embarrassing information.
  • The expected move came nearly a week after the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel reversed its 2019 opinion, and said the returns must be disclosed to the Democratic-led committee, which has sought the documents for several years.
    I thought he was going to share them anyway?  Isn't that what he said in 2016....2017....2018....et cetera?

    So what happens first...

    - Kurt gets his refund for 2020...or
    - Congress gets ahold of Trump's old returns?

    Trump logic: 

    I was not trying to get DOJ to overturn the results of the election. Rather, I was standing with the American people to oppose election corruption and restore election integrity. Of course, because we know the 2020 election was corrupt, the only way to restore election integrity would be to declare your favorite President the rightful winner. Therefore, I was not seeking to overturn the true results of the election — which I won, by a landslide. I was simply restoring the rightful winner — me. It was Biden and the Democrats, in collusion with the Deep State and the enemy-of-the-people media, that overturned the election. STOP THE STEAL! WHERE’S HUNTER?

    Thankfully we have Biden who continues many of the same Trump-like policies.  

    Just to remind the world, that Trump did represent Americans.....
