They didn't ask Trump, they asked the IRS

Another Politicized Voice for Propaganda, oh goody! Can we just deal in the free flow of truth & sharing documents in a confidential way to the people charged with Presidential oversight as so decreed by voter requirement in their decision to have a Democrat House in Nov. 2018!

Guess he should have released them, instead of continuing to lie.

TRUMP is a gross misuse of power!!!!!

Trump doesn't need help embarrassing himself.

What is realDonaldTrump hiding? He's lied numerous times about releasing his tax returns and a whole host of other critical issues. What is he hiding.

If it was an issue for the people they wouldn't have elected him.

Al Capone

That is exactly correct

And Mr. Consovoy can't think of one good reason for returns to be released? Well, he IS an attorney - so he can't be dishonest - right?

The gross misuse of power is Trump personified. Harassing political foes is also Trump personified . Disliking also to the nth degree is Trump. Amazing.........

Call it whatever you want; trump is a danger to our Country and you are a danger because you refuse to do your job and remove him.

When he wasn't President, he was harassing all the other Presidents and demanded to that numerous documents be made public. Now, he's crying about harrassment. Please refer to his tweets on daily harrassment on others.

How can u abuse power when it's the law Using the JusticeDepartment n AttorneyGeneral as ur personal apparatchik is!

He was happy to release them during campaign .. what he got to hide ?

👍

No, this is an attempt to re-impose a standard that has worked well for us for over 40 years. What's 'conservative' about abandoning ethics?!?

Hard for me to disagree with that but he left out his honesty and wether he is compromised by foreign governments

Sorry but if there’s nothing to hide, release them. This “OMG I’m a victim” or Presidential Harassment is so so so so OLD. He wanted this job. He is POTUS not King.

It’s pretty useful to “harrass” thieves.

It’s the law. Turn over the moron’s tax returns.

Al Sharpton Jesse Jackson Eminem Chucky Schumer snuggling up to the racist Donald Trump the guy must have became racist when he won the 2016 election get it

Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, . . .

What makes their request different from all the other former Presidents who were asked to show their taxes? People don't usually protest as much when there is nothing to hide.

Trump is a gross abuse!

Just think we had Public Enemy Number One building in New York for the last 40 years right under our noses

No, That is exactly what the Constitution allows Congress to do.

Fight begins over Trump's taxes, lawyer slams Democrats' requestAn attorney for President Donald Trump on Friday blasted U.S. House Democrats&0... If Trump can talk about grabbing women by their privates, does anyone seriously believe Trump's tax returns could be politically damaging in any way? You would think there might be a few Republicans out there that might also like to see his tax returns as well as such things as the Mueller Report. What is he hiding? What is he so worried about? Maybe he just gets a kick out of paying attorneys. (needs the right-offs?)
