WASHINGTON—President Trump’s lawyer said Friday that House Democrats’ request for his tax returns flouts constitutional constraints and should be rejected by the Internal Revenue Service.
“If the IRS acquiesces to Chairman Neal’s request, it would set a dangerous precedent,” William Consovoy, a lawyer retained by the president,...
The problem though is the IRS is still riddled from top to bottom with progressive socialist liberal democrat warriors ready to do the bidding of their betters. The ideology of control of all outcomes is paramount. And you have to know they will obey orders.
EXACTLY!!!
This is ridiculous 🤷🏻♀️ transparency DoBetter
JonLemire Interested to see the arguments. Asking for tax returns from the president should be a no brainer.
This is a blatant lie by William Consovoy. See US Code Ch 26 section 6103(f)(1) and (4)(A), TrumpCrimeFamily TrumpLies ImpeachTrump 2020IsComing
Just tell House DEMS to stuff their subpoenas where the sun don't shine. Fight these dangerous liberals all the way to Supreme Court.

You mean the corrupt IRS?
We don't need Congress making a Circus out of The IRS
The people need to see all the crooked deals and cover ups
For all citizens, The IRS audits tax returns. We don't need Congress making a circus out of the IRS.
Submarine_Guy Nope & Nope.
I disagree! He has potential conflicts and Congress needs to know so the president is checked.
JonLemire Read the law!
Yeah, good luck with that.
JonLemire He is hiding something.
More semantics. This is a request from a committee sitting in the U. S. House of Representatives. WH trying to politicize a “congressional” prerogative.
JonLemire That's bullshit! If Trump refuses to turn over his taxes, each state should refuse to put anyone on the ballot in 2020 who refuses to release their taxes! What do you think, AOC? Washington has already passed it.

JonLemire Where is the Constitution does it cover tax returns. WTF. Is the guy really a lawyer?
JonLemire We are a nation of laws, not maniacs!
What is Fat Donny so worried about?
JonLemire He said he wants to release his tax returns. Does anyone believe him at all?
JonLemire Trump’s lawyer is full of shit and you know it but keep on carrying that water.
What could be the dirty little tax secret ?
Why? Could it be his crime family earnings?
What constitutional constraints?! EVERY President since Nixon has released their returns. THERE IS NO SPECIAL PROTECTION OF PRESIDENTIAL TAX RETURNS! If anything the income of public officials is LESS protected than that of private citizens!
POTUS could retaliate asking for all IRS records of democrats involved in a conspiracy, liberal media, DNC, Hillary, Comey, Mc Cabe, etc seanhannity IngrahamAngle TuckerCarlson LouDobbs marklevinshow brithume BretBaier JudicialWatch JudgeJeanine
What is Donny mushroom hiding?
Laughable..... every president has released their tax returns. So should Trump, period!
Of course his attorneys will make their arguments -- it's their duty. But that doesn't mean they will prevail. Let's hope they don't.
Would that be AG Barr's son-in-law? The nepotism reeks!
It’s an actual law, so how are you stupidly publishing this without noting that there’s a law and there are zero ways around it. Besides, we were previously told Trump was under audit and now the reason changed🧐
Lawyers who don’t know the law? He hires the best...What a joke!
Or what?
Can we see his father’s birth certificate please? Maybe he was born in Kenya too? cnn nbcsnl BorowitzReport cnni BBCWorld nytimesworld euronews HouseGOP SenateGOP GOPChairwoman maga
Let’s line a bunch of constitutional lawyers and have the weigh in.
The tax returns are property of the US Government and as such can be shared lawfully with the appropriate House committee chair. Trump has zero say in this.
POTUS May want to do the same. Request all IRS records of democrats hounding him, Hillary, media matters NYT,WAPO etc. and refer them to prosecutors. seanhannity IngrahamAngle marklevinshow TuckerCarlson JudgeJeanine JudicialWatch LouDobbs
What's he hiding? No Patriots at the IRS can't leak this?
all lies!!!transparency. the truth!! lock everybody else up. !!!!!! pull the plug on the swamp. o k lawyers what the hell is defendant covering up hiding from the american people?!!!!! a criminal all of his life.
Nope, the law is the law, and what the hell is he hiding VERY suspicious.
Weird. Didn't think Congress asked Trump's lawyer for the tax returns.
For someone who says he has nothing to hide, realDonaldTrump sure does fight tooth and nail to keep things hidden. What’s in your taxes Donnie? Why not release them yourself along with the full unredacted Mueller report?
We urge the IRS to stop the continuous “AUDIT” of our esteemed President so that he cannot use this as an excuse and the public can see his returns.
Have nothing to hide no reason not to release. He is dirty and it’s time we find out how dirty.
The law says that Ways and Means can examine them But Trump's SCOTUS will rewrite the law, and we will be that much closer to a plutocracy
What are you hiding realDonaldTrump?
What constitutional constraints are relevant here?
President Trump's lawyer is grasping at straws.
Trump is going to lose this one and lose hard. I can’t wait to see those tax returns.
