Trump taxes: Supreme Court clears Democrats to see returns


As always, "this is politically motivated"!

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63724223

The justices rejected Mr Trump's bid in October to block a lower court's ruling that granted the panel's request for his financial records.

The move is a blow to Mr Trump, who has for years kept his returns sealed.

Mr Trump became the first president in 40 years not to release his taxes after announcing his first presidential run.

The House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee has been seeking access to his records since 2019.

Mr Trump, who launched his third campaign for the White House last week, is facing several investigations related to his business practices. He denies any wrongdoing.

Mr Trump has notched two other defeats this year from the conservative-dominated Supreme Court, three of whose justices he appointed.

In October, the court refused to weigh in on the legal fight over the FBI search of Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. Agents served a warrant at the estate in August on suspicion that the former president improperly handled classified documents.

In January, the court refused to act to stop the National Archives from handing over documents to the committee investigating the 6 January 2021 riot by Trump supporters at the US Capitol.

All the tax returns may tell us is
Trump is not as rich as he claims - most people already suspect this

Trump pays minimal taxes - this is true for pretty much everyone. If he had cheated/broken a law the numerous IRS audits would have revealed this.

Trump probably does not give much to charity- once again most of us suspect this

anything else? I don't see a smoking gun

You gullible fucks lmao

Trump was not a defendant in the trial and, hence, was not convicted of anything. What's your point?

reply

My point was that it obviously was not a "nothingburger" as Miyagido so eloquently claims...

reply

Are you very sure about that?

reply

Donald Trump was not charged in the case you are referring to.

reply

And the jury was also explicitly reminded that Trump and the Trump family were not on trial for anything themselves and to leave their political biases out of the verdict. But hey these lemmings need something to latch onto.

reply

Its great how the capitalist corporation system of holding companies and subsidiaries lets the owners of large conglomerates get away with anything isnt it!

reply

Trump's tax returns will disclose and verify that he is a lying sack of shit.

reply

So, nothing new then?

Which numerous IRS audits? Which years did the IRS audit Trump?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/21/irs-donald-trump-tax-audit-failure

US tax authorities failed to audit Donald Trump for two years while he was in the White House, Democratic lawmakers said, despite a program that makes tax review of sitting presidents compulsory.

Well, that was just another Trump lie. But Trump supporters say it's okay to lie when Trump is doing it.

Remember when Trump said he could not release his returns due to the audit? Two lies in one. He is allowed to released his returns anytime he wants unless they're sealed under some sort of warrant. He was also not being audited.
