Close video The Rachel Maddow Show, 4/15/19, 9:06 PM ET Trump hires new legal team to fight release of tax returns Rachel Maddow reports that even as Donald Trump has hired new lawyers to fight to keep Trump’s tax returns away from public view, subpoenas to financial institutions from Congress, looking into Donald Trump’s finances are multiplying faster than Trump’s share tweet email save Embed Last week, Donald Trump hired a new group of lawyers to do one very specific thing: keep the...
As regular readers know, Richard Neal, exercising his authority under the law, formally told the Treasury Department two weeks ago that he’s demanding access to the president’s tax returns. The Massachusetts Democrat did so under a law that says the Treasury “shall furnish” the tax materials in response to a formal request from one of a handful of congressional lawmakers, including himself.
The correspondence added that “no one actually believes” Richard Neal is interested in legitimate congressional oversight. To bolster the point, the president’s lawyer pointed to … wait for it … quotes from congressional Republicans.
MaddowBlog Quick!!!, get the shredder working!!!
MaddowBlog dems' abuse of power-fishing expeditions to search for a crime to thwart we the ppl's will by violating our u.s. constitution's guarantee of inalienable n fundamental constitutional right to privacy, w/c includes tax return-privacy, is not acceptable to we the ppl.
MaddowBlog Clearly obstructing the law. Follow the law whether you are Republican or Democrat. What are the hidden facts that terrify Trump? Administration of the law is not political, obstruction is.
MaddowBlog realDonaldTrump , would you care to explain how your tax returns would take you down?
MaddowBlog It says everything that the president needs tax lawyers!!!! Not comforting

MaddowBlog It’s none of your business

MaddowBlog Why I cannot wrap my head around anything to do with 'it'. Corrupt swamp. MO
MaddowBlog Weird.
MaddowBlog You people are just pathetic. As if the IRS, during the previous administration, didn't reviewed his returns before he became POTUS. That's like saying we have a POTUS without an American birth certificate.
MaddowBlog duh
MaddowBlog No. Just bc ppl want them and the others allow that invasion doesn’t make it right. And just bc he is “surrendering”( and it would be a privacy violation and precedent Americans don’t want )them doesn’t make him wrong.
MaddowBlog The Hoax is over now on to the next topic.
MaddowBlog Really? They're just thinking about that now?
MaddowBlog fakenews. Please stop the drama and nonsense. This is like high school ‘girl drama’. This is embarrassing to our party
AudreyGarden MaddowBlog This is a the same guy who said he'd gladly show Tax Returns when out of audit.
MaddowBlog An admission of guilt.
MaddowBlog And it really pisses off everyone of YOU!
MaddowBlog Will congress submit to a full mandatory disclosure&annual audits of their income tax, bank accounts to include off shore accounts, foreign, investments, stocks, royalties, gifts, property assessments? Mandatory for candidates before elections&3mos after election? Why should he?
MaddowBlog But he's 'so godly and biblical'. If such assertions of Trumps character traits not been reported as Bachmann's I'd have wagered the farm that they were Palin's. How long before the Donald tweets that so godly is he he's god. Soon he unveils water into wine process he perfected
MaddowBlog Birth certificate = Tax returns
MaddowBlog A quick overview. Trump's 3 casinos overpaid sales tax by almost $6 mil from 1998 to 2004. By the time they discovered it the limitation period expired for half. Trump sued the half they didn't get back They lost. As the judge pointed out it wasn't that complicated.
MaddowBlog He never acts like an innocent man, does he?
MaddowBlog Taxes, big accounting firms, and Trump's view that taxpayers should pay for his mistake They are packed until this brief case Trump filed in 2009.
MaddowBlog It just bugs Maddow big time that she can't see Trump's tax returns! She's not smart enough to understand them if she did see them. The only job she can hold is being a 'yes sir' person to the MSNBC biggie & then act her goofy self & she's in! lol

MaddowBlog Just like the media scrambles to keep the truth about the 2016 elections hidden from view. Too bad it’s 2019 and we can get real news if we go looking for it.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Lol!! Didn't you show us his returns already
MaddowBlog And his grades. And his Vietnam medical records. And his bank records. And the Mueller report.
MaddowBlog Trump's the real not-so-slim shady.
MaddowBlog Wouldn't it be nice if when police officers serving a search warrant to search your house all you had to do was quote Sarah Sanders and just say you didn't think they were smart enough to do their jobs and that their not allowed to come in. When has she ever told the truth?
MaddowBlog Whats he hideing America needs to know
MaddowBlog If this looks normal to anyone your blind.
MaddowBlog What can you hide on tax forms. Nothing about it shows overall wealth. It just shows how much you earn vs how much you owe or don't owe in taxes. Oh...I'm talking about non tax cheats. 😎😊😎
MaddowBlog Not only must the IRS Commisssioner face time in prison for failure to comply with the Rule of Law,but the WH lawyers who have decided to prostitute their services to the interests of a career criminal--currently using the WH as a FRONT--should also face serious prison sentences
MaddowBlog Good, they are his private business
MaddowBlog It’s not over. It’s only just begun!
MaddowBlog The law is seriously simplistic and completely clear, the house asks, the IRS gives! There’s no ambiguity here, there’s no ‘you can’t cause it’s the Pres’, the house asks and gets! He promised to release them, why the fight? Oh right, he lied, again
MaddowBlog Are u telling your readers that hes NOT legally obliged to reveal them? I guess ur objective is to make him look like a sinister crooked businessman. If hes not legally obliged, why are u insisting?
MaddowBlog What a pathetic game.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Very sick individual, a fraud
MaddowBlog Remember when you had his tax returns, maddow?
MaddowBlog Apparently he’s under the longest audit in history. 😂
MaddowBlog It's only a matter of time before the Tax returns come out.
MaddowBlog Is this the new Russian collusion story?
MaddowBlog EXCLUSIVE! MadCow has Trumps tax returns (again) lol.
