All Of The Sudden Republicans Want To Examine Biden Nominees’ Tax Returns

Republicans have now decided the tax returns of nominees and people in power matter, as they want to scrutinize Biden’s nominees.

Outgoing Senate Finance Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wants to examine Biden Treasury nominee Janet Yellen’s tax returns:

Just a few months ago in September, Grassley complained Trump’s tax returns got out, “That information should have never gotten out, and whoever got it out violated the law…All I’ve got is the president saying he’s paid millions of dollars in taxes, and you’ve got the New York Times printing what they think, and we don’t have the facts to make a judgment. But let me say that I’d be very concerned about how it got out.”

Republicans defended Trump and his nominees hiding their tax returns and brushed off any red flags that were in the financial dealings of Trump and his cabinet nominees.

No one cares. They can never ever be trusted. They’ve shown no care about the shocking number of deaths across the country. Some senators more worried about dumping stock than warning Americans about how deadly COVID really was. Republicans are morally, ethically and decency bankrupt. They REALLY need to be told to sit down and shut up. Democrats need to be in front of microphones every day telling Americans the reason they don’t have food, or extended unemployment and help with rent/mortgage is republicans. The House passed a bill in May, this is just fucking ridiculous already.

the Biden Administration should simply tell the Republicans they are sorry, but they can't release those tax returns because they are currently being audited by the IRS.
