Mnuchin dismisses IRS memo saying Congress must be given Trump's tax returnsTreasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin dismissed an internal IRS memo concluding it is 'mandatory' for the IRS to turn over President Trump's tax returns unless the president invokes executive privilege '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.' How could executive privilege work ? There’s no policy debate about his tax returns . 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.
