Perhaps your level of rabid hate for Trump is what's different. You Libs simply want to nail him... no matter what.
Why not find a candidate who can actually win the WH fair and square?

Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon has refused to divest from his businesses while serving in government and Congress wanted to be able to see how the laws were affecting him. Sound familiar?
The White House could attempt to block the release of President Trump’s tax returns to Democrats, senior officials signaled on Thursday, an unprecedented step that might lead to a constitutional challenge and catapult the issue into federal court.
In an indication of how the standoff might escalate, Trump himself suggested that the Justice Department could become involved — even though Democrats directed their request to the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.
“They’ll speak to my lawyers and they’ll speak to the attorney general,” Trump said during an unrelated event in the Oval Office when asked about the Democrats’ request for six years of his personal and business tax returns.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump would not release his tax returns because they were under audit, a disputed claim that the White House has not allowed to be independently verified.

There was a huge blue wave in 2018– the biggest midterm landslide in recorded history. Dems won a huge share of the popular vote even though Republicans have rigged the system against the average American with gerrymandering and voter suppression and legalized dark money political bribery.
And Dems won big in 2018 BECAUSE Dem voters want oversight of the Trump GOP.
And fricking Richard Neal takes 3 months for nothing? Wake up Congressional Dems. We want real oversight of this criminal President before he gives another country nuclear weapons that could well turn them on us.

I think we will also find out if trump is under audit and if so, what years he is under audit. Personally, i doubt he is under audit at all. This could very well be the end of him politically.
There was a poll that showed that most Americans already think Trump is a tax cheat. His base will stick with him no matter what.
