Pascrel from Ways and Means is advocating hard for going after Trumps tax returns. The video is not up yet but watch out for it. He is talking holding Mnuchin in contempt and recommends that the IRS commissioner should resign. He even confirmed that they could go to prison if they do not comply. That's the kind of spine we need.
The below from Politico:
Rep. Bill Pascrell, an outspoken advocate of getting President Donald Trumps tax returns, lashed out today at what he considers administration stonewalling.
Congress could hold Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in contempt for failing to meet a Wednesday deadline for delivering Trump's returns to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, Pascrell, a senior Ways and Means member, told POLITICO. He also said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig should consider stepping down.

I wish he was the chair of the Judiciary Committee. Some of the people on this and one other committee really shouldn't be there. They could put anyone to sleep and seem so unprepared.
Gloves off Dems.
