Mnuchin dismisses IRS memo saying Congress must be given Trump's tax returns

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday dismissed an internal IRS memo concluding it is "mandatory" for the IRS to turn over President Donald Trump's tax returns to Congress unless the president invokes executive privilege.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the draft IRS memo concluded that the Treasury secretary’s “obligation to disclose return and return information would not be affected by the failure of a tax writing committee” to give a reason for the request. The “’only basis [for] the agency’s refusal to comply with a committee’s subpoena would be the invocation of the doctrine of executive privilege.”

This is such a criminal enterprise.

Lol dismissing the law. Can we all do this now?

dismiss him

Lock him up!

Cuff him Danno.

Jail him maybe his Daddy can visit him with his poodle

And lied to Congress about it

Sorry but the Treasury is NOT a Legislative Nor Judicial body. They neither Make Nor Interpret law. Justice and Treasury are part of Admin. Admin does the mundane day to day work.

How could executive privilege work ? There’s no policy debate about his tax returns .

'Even worse,' says one disgruntled IRS employee, 'When he walks into the office he makes us all sing 'We Welcome You to Mnuchin Land.' I'd have spoken out before but he threatened to revoke my membership in The Lollipop Guild.'
