Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin suggested that he will reject House Democrats’ subpoena for President Trump’s tax returns, and that the issue is headed for the courts

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin suggested today that he will reject House Democrats’ subpoena for President Donald Trump’s tax returns, and that the issue is headed for the courts.

“There is a difference in interpretation between Congress and us and the Department of Justice around this law,” he said. “This is why there are three branches of government so if there is a difference of opinion this will go to the third branch of government to be resolved.”

Mnuching rules !!!!!

bobmuellerwkrn He is afraid of loosing his job and pissing off Trump. Grow a set and stand up and do what is right.

Maybe someone should look into stevenmnuchin1 taxes.

LOCK HIM UP!!!!

Who are these people that IGNORE the law? People this is very dangerous.

Lock him up!

He’s right. It’s time for the harassment to end. I feel like all Congress does is play go fish, and it needs to end. We just went through a 2 1/2 year, $35M+ investigation & enough is enough - now it’s time to Move On!

This is the next 30 years

These idiots can’t read a tax return.

Good Democrats are on a witch hunt

Inherent Contempt

Arrest him

There’s no “difference in interpretation between Congress...and the [DOJ] around this law,” that requires judicial intervention. The courts have already interpreted this; you’re openly defying those judicial opinions, Sec. Mnuchin. Please see Marbury v. Madison & act accordingly.

He should sit in jail for contempt until the case is settled.

Stevie should be on the way to the clink.

Mnuchin could easily be a character on VEEP. He is so goofy

And he’s headed to jail

It’s ignore! Why do these ugly old white men think they’re above the law! Throw his ass in jail

CharlesDignam Send him to jail if he does not comply!

An independent thinker.

THAT IS BETWEEN IRS & PRES.TRUMP AND NOBODY ELSE.IF PRES.TRUMP DIDNOT PAID ANY TAXES IN LAST 35 YRS. OF BUSINESS,THAN WHY IRS DID NOT BROUGHT ANY LAW-SUITS ?

Good the American citizens are tired of the Democrats weaponizing our government system for the sake of politics.

Must really be full of info on the Muller report. They're scared to show..

stevenmnuchin1 needs to be thrown in jail! JailMnuchin

He needs to be made an example of and arrested. He deserves it on so many levels. He’s an evil POS

Does all of this declination to give tax returns, declining to appear before Congress apply to all citizens too!!!

PUT HIM IN JAIL

AND MNUCHIN IS HEADED FOR BIG FINES AND JAIL-NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW

To coin a familiar phrase: 'Lock him up'

Jail Mnuchin NOW!!!!

Mnuchin is breaking the law & a subpoena needs to be issued & taken to court fast tracked. Mnuchin needs to then be charged for disrespecting the law & the subpoena process & fined $25;000 per day until he complies. If needed a jail term.

Sorry, snowflakes, this harassment not allowed

Obstruction nuff said

WOW! iF YOU DON'T indictMunchin and start impeachment hearings TheDemocrats Trump getting ready to get us in a war. Haven't seen the real MuellerReport WHAT ARE YOU DOING RepJerryNadler it's NOT FUNNY ANYMORE

Hmmm. The Democrats usually like the courts.

SHALL MEANS SHALL, there is NO other 'interpretation', except in their minds 🤬🤬🤬

Serious question: Has a Treasury Secretary ever been sentenced to prison? Mnuchin

Hold him in contempt and start fining his butt.

So much to hide, they're terrified.

Lock him up!

Arrogant

Milton Berle doppelganger

Yeah yeah we know

Someone should tell stevenmnuchin1 that his wife Cruella won't wait for him if he goes to jail. She'll be buying BMWs for the pool boy before the cell door slams shut.

Fine. Take him to court. See if he then ignores the court order.

stevenmnuchin1 is just another garden variety cult45 dotard moron who is weaponizing his complete disrespect for the rule of law and abject hatred for the Constitutional coequal legislative branch of government. Sad! Many people are saying this. Believe me. Lock him up!!!!

His bio should read ButtMunchin/inmate. TrumpisPutinsBitch

What a shock

Lock him up! Start the impeachment hearings! Problem solved!

You should have said that he is rejecting Congress’ subpoena... Democrats or Republicans is not the issue and you shouldn’t be making it one...

And... the Trump Administration will then “stonewall” the Courts...

As Trump talks about prosecutors upholding the law and not making political decessions in carrying out their duty, want to know if this includes Barr. As well as honoring subpoenas

I think it is time to get Trumps State return from New York.

Mnuchin should stepndown before he gets his arse kicked.

Trump’s base will fade if their GOLDEN CALF is a loser Trump’s greatest weakness & his greatest fear is that his CURRENT finances will expose that his DEBT is GREATER than his ASSets. Trump’s bank, Deutsche bank was fined for $10 billion Russian money laundering

Tresonous actions by this administration. Am very disappointed to hear that RepJerryNadler doesn't want to start impeachment proceedings. The HouseDemocrats have to do their job regardless of what happens in the Senate.

The Congress job is to protect IRS from the IRS abusers but now the Dem party in Congress is the abusers. 😌

Reject? You mean ignore, defy or act in an illegal way to obstruct Congress?

What a stupid hill to die on. Good riddance.
