Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin speaks on Tuesday during a House Financial Services Committee hearing in Washington.
Even jaded legal experts versed in the Trump administration’s lawlessness were taken aback by this brazen defiance of the law. Constitutional scholar Joshua Matz also finds the administration’s conduct preposterous. “Under the plain language of the statute, [Way and Means Committee] Chairman [Richard E.] Neal is undoubtedly entitled to review the President’s tax returns. So the question is whether the statute is unconstitutional as applied to President Trump. And the answer is no,” Matz tells me. “Secretary Mnuchin’s assertion that this request serves no legitimate legislative purpose cannot be taken seriously.
Now you’re probably thinking “Did she hit her g(r)avel (sic) once or twice?” You’ve got to ask yourself one question, Mnuchin: “Do I feel lucky?” “We’ll? Do you, Steve?”
Do you know what you are talking about? No, you don't!
Ya think!
This entire administration is lawless.
This arrogant mnumbskull needs to be brought down a peg or two.
trump does not believe laws apply to him.

You mean like our Immigration Laws!! What a biased typist.
Is there a idiots guide to the 'court of public opinion' I just can't keep up anymore, Couple years ago we loved Russia 'resetting' relations, sold them our nuclear material, watched as they annexed Crimea and now we hate them? What gives?
They know there are no consequences. Of course they're not going to comply.
Again, it will go unnoticed
WaPo: Jeff Bezos' colon
The Hillary/Obama Insurance Policy.
Cry harder, ladies.
if the relevant law says 'shall' and Treasury and Mnuchin refuse to comply, isn't an immediate subpoena an appropriate and necessary Congressional response?
It's five-o'clock and I want to go home - shouldn't you be banging on your gravel or something ?
He was in a sanctuary city no law applies
What a jerk. These are the kind of people Trump loves to have working for him
Mnuchin wants charged w/ any crime he can be charged with? He wants to make himself look like hes tough guy. typical in broken souled suck up. These morons gain status for actions that make them worse & more socially toxic in eyes of mindless hordes. CultGarbageInGarbageOut
And why not? What do they have to be worried about? Who's going to step up to stop them and/or hold them accountable?
He was hysterical and she being mentally challenged seemed unable to comprehend.
I have a petition circulating for all of WaPo employees tax returns to be requested by congress and then released. :) It won't happen but it sure is fun.
Kneecap one and they'll all collapse. They're dominoes. Congress should have one them arrested for Contempt of Congress and held until they comply. Not a thing Barr could do, and the power shift would be palpable. But they're wimps. IRS TaxReturns
Opinion from a leftist. Totally worthless.
Private papers are private papers. 4th Amendment
Mnuchin’s *ss was not treated kindly by Auntie Maxine 🍾🍾🍾
Privilege on display.
You’ll have to forgive Mnuchin, he’s a big finance guy, and big finance guys just aren’t used to having laws and stuff apply to them, it’s a cultural thing.
Nevermind Democrat congressional harassment? so in the tank for Democrats that they don’t even bother to hide it.
