The idea that it’s wrong for Trump to refuse to give his tax returns to Congress, or that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is wrong not to get his subordinates to find them in the records and give them to Congress, is so weird when you consider that it’s one of the main things that Richard Nixon was almost impeached for.IF THE GOP CONGRESS HAD MADE THIS BIG A DEAL ABOUT OBAMA’S COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS, THE PRESS WOULD HAVE CALLED IT A MCCARTHYITE WITCH HUNT: President Trump Should Not Turn Over His Tax Returns To Congress, Tax Professor And Tax Lawyer Say.

Accessing IRS records for political purposes is seriously illegal.It’s amazing that no one is saying that.
