The constitution spells out the requirements, the only way to make it a requirement is by amending it, and that will not happen

That’s for candidates. Every other president has released their tax returns as president while they are in office, and Trump isn’t doing that either. That can be rectified with a regular old law.


CA passed such a law. Not clear if it will withstand court challenge.

Again, that law is about a candidate releasing his or her returns. Not a sitting president.

NEW YORK—“The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan said Monday that the U.S. would participate in a lawsuit filed by President Trump that seeks to block a subpoena for eight years of his tax returns.

In a brief letter to the judge, U.S. Attorney for Manhattan Geoffrey Berman and Jeffrey Oestericher, chief of the office’s civil division, said the U.S. would file a submission in the case by Wednesday.

The letter comes in a dispute over a subpoena that the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. sent to accounting firm Mazars USA LLP requesting the president’s personal and business tax returns dating to 2011.

In an attempt to block the subpoena, Mr. Trump sued Mr. Vance and Mazars, arguing the request was unconstitutional and part of a campaign by Democrats to harass him.

Prosecutors in Mr. Vance’s office have said their subpoena is valid and any dispute should be heard in state court. Mazars has said it would follow its legal obligations.

Federal prosecutors haven’t spelled out their reasons for entering the case. Last week, on the evening before a court hearing in the case, the U.S. attorney’s office asked the judge to delay the subpoena’s enforcement while it weighed whether to intervene. “Plaintiff’s complaint raises a number of significant constitutional issues that potentially implicate the interests of the United States,” said the document.”

Every other President has not released their returns, the last 8 have. If you want to sound like you know what you are talking about, educate yourself beforehand.

PP should have included “modern.” All of this came about since Watergate. But the point stands.

“With a court proceeding set for today in Trump's lawsuit over the Manhattan DA's subpoena for his tax returns, SDNY filed an unusual brief last night asking for a stay of the subpoena and saying it needs time to consider whether to get involved in the case.

From SDNY's brief: "Plaintiff’s complaint raises a number of significant constitutional issues that potentially implicate the interests of the United States."

Good old Cy Vance. Always willing to look the other way for the right amount of money.

He doesn’t appear to be doing so this time.


He got a lot of flack for letting Ivanka and Donnie off when he could have prosecuted them. He's probably learned his lesson.

I'm sure it's nothing. If there were anything to hide Trump wouldn't have already presented his tax returns for the public to see. He'd have been much more secretive and come up with all kinds of bizarre excuses for why he couldn't do the thing that all candidates always do. And jeez, he never lies about his finances or financial transactions and there's nothing shady in his business life so obviously even if he were weirdly secretive it seems clear there'd be nothing to hide.

What a nothingburger right?!


He is probably hiding bigger crimes, like money laundering for Russians.
