"There will be a period, possibly lasting months, when Democrats will have seen the president’s taxes, but they won’t be able to talk about them."

"Neal could keep Trump’s documents to himself and a few close aides — and not even let other members of his panel see them. He has already said he won’t share the returns with any other committees, including the Judiciary and Oversight panels, which have been conducting their own high-profile investigations of the administration. 

That would keep the circle of people who’ve seen Trump’s taxes tight — and the more people who see the returns, the more likely there will be leaks. 

But many of his colleagues have been clamoring for the president’s returns for months, and will surely be unhappy to learn they won’t be able to examine them. 

Another option: Lawmakers turn the filings over to the JCT and ask its staff of tax experts to analyze Trump’s returns and report back on what they find. 

“They’re going to have to think carefully about how they’re going to want to do this,” said Dean Zerbe, a former Senate tax aide. “The penalties are certainly quite real.” 


Funny. As we have seen. The side that opposes Trump never has any penalties for doing anything wrong at anytime. 

We are to believe that nothing will be leaked. Right and this is not motivated for political reasons.   Right and there is no border crisis and if there is, Trump caused it. Right and the Mueller investigation really did find collusion and obstruction but just couldn't prove it and this is just a big cover up by Trump's attorney general. 

Right and the greening up planet is dying from a climate crisis and we have 12 years to save it from another 0.1 deg temperature increase and 1 inch rise in the sea levels.
