You might not care but those on the receiving end of an investigation which would be sure to follow, might. The New York Times published most of them about two years ago if you would like to see them.

It says it was updated recently but I see nothing about the contents of the current tax returns released to Ways & Means?

The newest release of records might include a more recent return. I'm just not sure the article from 2020 would contain the same information as records obtained by the committee. Who's to say the original leak to the NYT contained all the pages?

immediately begin moving some goalposts. To another field.

The fortune telling at the office about this stuff has been almost as entertaining as reading Nostradamus (meaning, not very. At all).

I'm guessing their prognostications will have to be updated as quickly as possible to maintain that thin, gilded veneer of (self-defined) authority.

I happened to tune in to her show earlier this week and she was talking about how few working days were left on this Congress's term and she specifically mentioned this ruling and criticized them for making it seem like there was no rush -- and here it turns out they have been working behind the scenes to get this information.

So, unfair and misinformed criticism from Maddow.

Asking for his time as president was a stupid ask. The last 20years would have produced REAL answers to why he was in debt to Russia.

And even more importantly:


Think of all the questions that you Chainfire and I would have about all of the years and years of the Corrupt Tax Returns and the lack of taxes paid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why has the IRS NOT Assessed taxes, penalties, and interest......... given all the corruption in his returns all these years and years........

If the IRS hasn't been collecting taxes, penalties, and interest due by all the Uber wealthy for their corruption, Why Not.......

Somewhere, I saw an article that the Feds are owed Zillions by the Uber wealthy that they haven't paid......

Tie that together with why no INSIDER TRADING laws were ever enforced on the Republican Senators and House Members who got the Covid information ahead of the public, and immediately and covertly re-arranged all their investments when they learned what was coming and what effect it would have on all their investments.....

You just know the Republicans are going to bury thus come January. That gives Dems a month to expose the reality of Trumps tax and income lies.
