"SNIP.......

“Former President Donald Trump will fight any move by the Treasury Department to turn over his tax returns to Congress, a lawyer for Mr. Trump said Monday, days after the Justice Department directed the agency to provide the documents to a House panel,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

......SNIP"

1. Shocking

2. Why is he allowed to fight it after all this? WHAT IN THE FUCK

4. WTF? Judge gives Trump time to challenge tax return disclosure to Congress

A federal judge is giving former President Donald Trump time to challenge an order that would force the IRS to surrender his tax returns to Congress.
Trump and his lawyers have until Wednesday to respond.
Neither Trump nor his lawyers have said if they will challenge Friday’s order.

9. THESE are the lawyers the former guy pays

Transaction lawyers? Stiff 'em. Defending fraud lawsuits? Your fee went out in the settlement check. Sexual harassment charges? Your pay is the cachet and prestige of defending Donald J. Trump.

But the lawyers who keep his tax returns away from prying eyes are paid on time and in full every month.

5. He was given until this Wednesday

To respond in court … others have said his attempts to block will fail

8. "Others" Always Say Lots Of Things

Often they're completely wrong.

I'll believe that his Returns are turned over, when Congress announces that they have them in their hands.

6. The info in the returns must a doozy...

Either so embarrassing and criminal for the s.o.b. to fight disclosure of his tax returns to Congress this hard. My question is why would any attorney do his bidding when he will stiff them in the end.

7. there must be a lot to hide in those returns

10. It's the "eternal" question: What is he hiding.......

and it had better not be like Al Capone's vault!!!!

11. Has said lawyer received an advance payment from Deadbeat Donny?

We know he's notorious for not paying his bills.

12. Of course he'd renege on showing his taxes
