Donald Trump has tried to act like a private citizen ….
Keep his tax info secret….
American President’s don’t….
House Democrats are after them….
Hard….
They can get them form New York State….
But they will have to wait on that….Trump’s lawyers are tying things up….
Right now their best chance seems to be obtaining the tax info from the only bank that has been doing business with Trump….Deutsche Bank….The bank has been dancing with a Federal Court of Appeals and the judges there are getting impatient ….
President Trump’s biggest lender has in its possession tax records Congress is seeking in targeting the president’s financial dealings, the bank told a federal appeals court in New York Tuesday.
The disclosure from Deutsche Bank came in response to a court order as part of a legal battle between Congress and the president over access to Trump’s business records.
The bank’s public redacted response filed Tuesday did not identify by name whose records it has.
The revelation provides new details about the pool of possible documents Congress could eventually obtain. The House Financial Services and Intelligence committees have subpoenaed the banks for years of financial documents from the president, his three eldest children and the president’s companies.
“Based on Deutsche Bank’s current knowledge and the results of the extensive searches that have already been conducted, the Bank has in its possession tax returns (in either draft or as-filed form) responsive to the Subpoenas,” the bank’s lawyers told the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit…
…
The House committee leaders — Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) — want to examine the relationship between Trump and Deutsche Bank as part of a larger examination of Russian money laundering and potential foreign influence on Trump.
Deutsche Bank has been a major lender to both the Trump Organization and Kushner Companies, which previously was run by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, now a presidential adviser….
While I am sure Donald Trumps tax forms will be interesting if exposed,let’s remember that the original impetus for this was when he was running in 2016.His tax forms ,it was thought, would expose some of his statements as lies.
Ho hum.
That was eons ago when it was thought that Republicans really believed in those so called “conservative principles.”
Now, three years and thousands of lies later from this pathological liar,all of which Republicans routinely excuse?It doesn’t matter what his tax returns show.They will excuse any lies that they expose just as easily as all the others .The hope expressed here and elsewhere that Republicans will finally turn on Trump is forlorn Indeed.
Nothing,I repeat Nothing will do that.The Republican Party is now his personal fiefdom and it’s members are his serfs.
So, while the release of those returns may provide fodder for some cable news shows?It will have no effect upon the coming election.
